I may be wroung,
but this is what I heard back a couple of years ago,
that 20in rims was too big & that 19's was the biggest you could go,
that is on stock suspension & practicly even dropped!
but your on the wroung website if your asking about big rims....gl thou

Personally, I would not go any bigger than 16"... 17" will rub and look like ass IMO...

i got a set of 17's & they dont rub,
I've had 17's with cut springs & still didnt rub,but the rear was sooo close,you could'nt even see up inside the fender well,
if I could start all over again,
I would go with some black 15" slipstream rotas!!!!
but I'm putting my lowering springs on with adjustable coilovers & keepin the 17's,
I keep my stock 13's for the track
+ the traction on these tires are unreal
(you put the 13's on & spin like crazy,but the 17's dont wanna spin,
it makes the car hop)---I try to avoid that & burnin out as much as possible while in the 17's,

When I bought my crx it had cut springs and 16"s, and I dont see how anything bigger wouldnt rub... Even when I would hit a big enough bump the 16"s would rub... But eh, either way I wouldnt do it... I dont see how ppl can think it looks good... When they spend money to drop the car, and then throw on a set of 17"s it looks like a frickin monster truck... Maybe not the wheel gap, but the gap from the bottom of the car to the ground... Big rims look good on many cars, sedans for instance, like an Accord... But they do not belong on a Civic or CRX... Course is this is all just my own personal opinion, do what YOU like, it is afterall your car...

I think I would go with what hydrid said,
go with the 22's except put a 4" lift on it,
:icon16:

shit my 15"s rub...but im dropped 4"...lol its only the front when i hit big bumps or hit the breaks really hard, they dont rub when i turn. but i noticed in the hatches the rear wheels rub (my wheels on my friends car one night) with a 3inch drop... kinda odd
with a normal (2") drop id say no bigger than 16"

Its not the size thats making your rims rub, its the offset.

i had 16" rims on my crx when i got it. it had a two inch drop. you know what i did i put some stock 14" honda wheels(just stelies) and cut an inch and a half off my 2" springs. but in the end i had to put my civics springs on it and cut them down to like a 2 1/2 inch drop looks nice i think

cut spring and nice should never go in the same sentence when talking about suspension on a automobile.

You know why right? Cuz those 17s weigh so damn much. By the look of your sig pic it looks like you have positive camber too.
IMO, the only way big rims look right is with adjustable coil-overs but that doesn't mean it works right...
