A little advise on rims

Hey if anyone could give me some advise that would be great. I'm hella stuck on the 3 piece cr's by racing hart, but they only come in 18's and 19's. Plus my car is sitting about 1.7" lower. I'm pretty sure i could fit it but what about the turning and other sheee. The second thing is offsets, what would you guys recommend for any rims size? thanks for the help....

35mm-45mm backspacing 40mm is about the average

With the 18's & some 215/35R18 tires you should be fine @ stock height. The tire is slighly larger less than a 1/2" so you should have no rubbing problems if you dont already.

17's is the largest I would go on that car, for performance stick with 14" or 15" rims

if it rubs, roll the fenders. i think tirerack.com has an equipment you can rent from them to do it yourself. you can also just go to any custom wheel shop and theyll do it for you

Whats up TN...
Like JA had said...17"s would be the best fo ryour car and also any other import/domestic of that size (compact) for over all look and daily drive. If you want to show...go with 18/19". I had 18" RH M7000's on my civic and it looked tight..but to drive...it was hell!
Couldn't give you any advice on "rolling your fenders"...sorry.
Stick with 17 or lower...and remember...if this is a daily driver...you've got to think smart! 17" will give you a good look but less headache. I've even seen guys with your same car and only 14,15,16" rims and it looked tight....lowered of course.
