Unless You Roll Your Fenders, Youre Going To Grind The Tires Out, When You Hit Bumps Or Stop Hard. Civic Should Really At Most Have 17"s Unless You Have A Air Ride Suspension, 18"s Look Good, But Its A Hassel, But Anyway Its Youre Car So Good Luck. P.s. Make Sure The 18"s Are 18x7, Or 7.5 Anything More Than That And You Will Have A Problem.

bro, why don't you go looking for some more street racing movies :disappoin

It's more than likely you'll rub with those 18s. But then again you might not have any problems. It depends on offset and the width of your tire. 2" isn't a huge drop, but it might create some problems. 1 way to alleviate some of the rubbing is to keep the negative camber, it'll keep it from rubbing the outside of your fenders, but you might rub the plastic in the inside of fenders. The only way to really find out is drop it and put those wheels on. If it doesn't work out just throw your factory ones back on until you can either create some more room or figure some other way out to fix the problem.
