there ya go 18" and fit fine ..ive lowered it since then another 60mm
i have same wheels as shown in the pic of the green civic on my EK and there 17's goes fine
You can get big rims to fit on a civic if you're willing to sacrifice comfort. I used to have 19's on my coupe, it rested on all four bump stops, but I loved it.
Don't let people tell you it can't be done. Cos quite honestly it can.
If you're interested I can try and find some pics of my old car and hook you up with the people that fitted the suspension/rims combo.
I ended up going with the tenzos in the 17" i got em in charcoal but i shoulda got em in black...
I still have my stock 14" but looking to upgrade - but I think when you get the suspension set up good 16" would look good.
This is also a handy reference tool:

Good luck with it,
15-16 is good, if u into sex spec then go with chrome wheel.......
I am tossing between 16" and 17" for my EK hatch... I will probably lower it later but for now in my current situation I don't have any plans due to the current driveway, I almost scrape the front bumper on stock.
16" is probably as big as i'd go on an ek with a drop (assuming you're keeping the overall rolling diameter the same/close to stock)
Speaking of wheel and tyre packages, where is the best place to go... I don't wanna spend a fortune, or get ripped off...
Keep in mind I am in the Caboolture area north of Brisbane.
I mean you always get the Bob Jane specials in the mail (as an example)... but I get the feeling if I go into one of those places and ask for a wheel brand brochure I am gonna get ripped a new one.
I noticed the online dealers, how are they with shipping interstate? A lot of money to hand over online though...
I don't know if it is worth using Bob Jane catalogue deals.
My vote goes for 16's for bling over function. 15's for function over bling.
I reckon anything else is too big
TSG.. my advice, depending on your budget, is either get a Honda OEM wheel (Fat Fives, Em1 wheels, maybe even Blades, 95% certain those wheels are 15's) or save you cash and get something Japanese.Quote:
