17´s or 18´s?

[V-Tech 606]

What´s up everybody? I was wondering, what´s the best option to go with for a 95 Civic EX Coupe. 17´s or 18´s? The specific rims I´m looking at are the F1 OZ rims. Also, how much should I drop my car, I like it low, but I don´t want to scrape against my wheel wel or anything like that. And one more thing, I´ve found the OZ rims online, but I can´t find pricing for 17´s or 18´s, if somebody could help me with pricing I´d really appreciate it, thanx. You all take care, pe@ce out.:alien:

i think your car would look better with 17 in rims. cuz civic is a pretty small car, on something like an accord a little bit bigger i would get 18s. but 17in looks pretty good and 18s will slow your car down a whole lot.

I have seen many Civics sucessfully use both 17 and 18" wheels.

The bigger your rims the heavier, and more expensive the tires are.

Having even 15" rims will look a lot bigger and more stylish by eliminating wheel gap. So that should be your first goal.

If you must lower your car excessively, you will need a to replace the stock shocks with something that will handle the decreased travel and higher spring rates, of the lowering springs you choose.

Lowering without rubbing on Civics is dependant on the offset of the rims you buy, the width of the rim and tire combo and your alignments.

Also Tire Rack should carry the OZ 17-18" wheels.

Thanx for the help Dezoris, I think that with that said I´m gonna go ahead with 17´s. I went to tirerack.com already and they don´t have 17´s or 18´s, right now they´re only carrying 15´s for the F1 OZ's. I also checked out the OZ web-site and didn´t find prices unless I didn´t check good enough. If someone could help me out with pricing for the 17´s that´d be straight, appreciate it yo, pe@ce out. :alien:

Go with 17" because i think that 18" are to big for a civic my thoughts

I am selling my rims. they are 17in with 215/45/17 tires on them. They are a 4 lug pattern. They are silver. The center caps are honda. Also i will incude lugs and locks.

i would go for 18 inch rims. It might not fit well and have a bumpy ride, but you will definitely get props from people. Almost everyone with a civic has 17s be different and go w/ 18s

i had 17's, now i have 18's, and hopefully by this time next year i'll have 19's, but i like show cars, and thats what i'm building. so thats what i wanna get.
