those are giant wheels for a 6th gen.

18''s will rub, depending on the off-set 17''s will be a very tight fit.

With a 2" drop and 18's that would make for a very rough ride, be careful what you wish for.

I just picked up a 95 ex and it was drop by the previous owner. It had 18s on it and they rub everytime I turned the wheels to much or went over any kind of bump. I just got my new rims today and they are 16s and the ride is so much better.

I wouldnt go any bigger then 16. I worked for a tireshop, and now do work for other people out of my garage, and would would be amazed how many people come back a week after buying 17"s and 18"s, and wanting to trade them in for 16" wheels.

i gotta 01 on neuspeed race springs w/ 18'' inch rims and 2 15'' subs in the trunk. the ride is rough but i need new struts cuz mine are still stock. it doesn't rub anywhere though. i've had them off and looked everywhere and no rub at all.
