what sized rims would look good on a non lowered hatchback. Would 17's make it look off roadish?

I am going for 17", and if u lower it properly it can look good, but until you do lower it, it will look like a 4x4

Get coilover so you can raise it up during the winter.

17's with stock suspension looks like a monster truck!!! 16's are also big looking on a stock car - imo.

Hey m8 check out my website, I had my civic running on 16" with a 45 tyre wall, it wasnt lowered, i dont think it looked bad at all really, and the speedo was thrown out much at all because i used 45 profile there was a VERY small difference in the overall size of the wheel and tyre.

well i had 14" wheels stock on mine though, i think you have 13" though so it would be out more than wot mine would be but as for the ooks I agree, i didnt think it looked that bad considering it wasnt lowered

no it wont throw the sppedo off as long as you get the right size tire to match.
with the 16's i have 205/40/ZR16, and with my 13's i think they were 185/70/R13 i put them next to each other and the 13's were like a millimeter smaller, so it wont throw your speedo off by much, maybe +-1mph
