There's not to much activity around here these days, hopefully it's because you're all out driving your cars with the windows down, and not 'cause you're in prison for speeding

It looks as though i'm getting some money back from the goverment, 'cause I paid to much tax! That's a pleasant surprise!
I hope to use this money on my car. 35mm H&R springs and rims/tyres. But I'm having trouble choosing, I want a compromise in looks, comfort and road grip, and think that 7.5*16 with 215/40/17 tyres will give comfort and a hell of a road grip due to their width. Am I right or wrong? I could go for 7*17 for looks, but it'll be a very bumpy ride, and probably rub like hell if I got people in the back. I think it'll look good with 35mm lovering and 7.5*16 to! Any opinions? I know Goosse got 16s on his similar shape civic, so it sure can look good

17" tires on 16" rims isn't a good idea imo... your road grip will be zero

I don't know what looks nice... 16 " is always good, but maybe 17" will look too large on a civic, I don't know.
Don't expect more grip from 'more width' ... when cornering it will help when your tires are standing 'more outside' , but bigger (more width) tires won't give you more gripp, because of the larger contact area the pressure on the tires/road will become less...
