Need help with Wheels

I have a 2002 Honda Civic DX with the stock wheels (Tire: P185/70R14) 4 Lug Pattern. I am planning to upgrade the wheels to a bigger size. Can i straight away install a 17" wheels or do i have to make some adjustments with the Suspensions too ??? Appreciate your input in detail if possible...

Yes you can go straight to 17's. Just match the lug pattern, and offset which will be around +40. You may also need hub centric rings if the wheels have a different diameter center.

Re: Need help with Wheels

no suspension adjustments needed, unless you buy wrong wheels, like said above (offset is crucial to not to have the tires rub on fenders.

of course, it will look like a 4x4 without a mild lowering...
see below what a mere 16" will do...
