19"s on a civic??? Don't you think that would look weird?? I mean, a smal car like that with 19inchers. Why don't you try to find some pics of a civic with 19s first to see if you like it. Personally, I wouldn't do it, but it's your car.

PLus have you researched the prices of 19" wheels and tires? And do you realize how SLOW your car will be with those on? And your speedo, odometer and such will be off. And how much you will have to modify your fenders, and how much suspension components will wear out quicker with 19s?

I would go with 15s or 16s personally. More performance tires in those sizes than 17s or 18s.

I actually know of a Civic near me that has "19's on it. It's nicknamed "19 inches and 10 switches" since it sits on air-cylinders. ANywho, it's been featured in Euro Lowrider magazine, and wins HIN for the Wild catagories. Here's a pic of it....

and that's why you get a body kit, bigger bumper and bigger side skirts means you don't have to lower it much

Yeah but most people come back saying "Why is my car so slow and my mpg went from 35mpg to 20mpg".

When they have something like ""G S R - S2000 tailight conversion - trunk & moldings shaved - Tokico Gas Shocks-Skunk 2 Coilovers- JVC El Kameleon Deck-Pioneer Digital EQ RF-150W RF-300W Alpine-600W Subs-10" Kicker Comp VR"" in their sig like he does, I'm sure a body kit isn't out of his price range.

Umm...I guess so. As long as you keep it under $700 I'm sure we could work something out.
