ammuray --> what type of rims are they? Also, did ur Civic come stock with 15s/65 profile? By suspension do you mean you're putting new shockers in or springs?
By drives like a bus do you mean that the turning circle is a lot less tighter now because of the bigger rims and you can feel every pebble in the road so the ride is not comfortable anymore? Are your brakes feeling useless at the moment because they're having stopping your heavy 20s?
I've dreamed of putting chrome 20s as most of the ideal styles I like only start at the 20 inch size but have been very reluctant because of the problems mentioned above (comfort of ride, steering, brakes, cops, insurance)

amurray - being 8.5 wide do the rims scrub on the strut tower? i was gonna get 20's but after doing some measurements i thought the tyre or will if i slammed it would rub on the strut - so i decided to get coilovers before rims.
i guess you could call coilovers adjustable springs - but they replace the entire strut/spring package - the standard ones are pretty wide where as a coilover is alot thinner meaning you can have a wider tyre/rim fitted.
once i have my coilovers i dont plan on being high and on 20's - even if it requires a hammer and angle grinder lol
it only scrubs on the guard.. there is heaps of room between the strut and the tyre... the coilovers have alot of adjustment.. so that u can sqweeze it into the guards lol.. they are also hight adjustable.. and will limmit movement so the tyre will not bottom out
