Sup,

I've finally decided on the rims that I want. I just have one question that I think most of you can answer for me. The rims come in either 17x7 or 18x7.5. Now I really want the 18s, but is the wider width going to pose a problem as far as rubbing? What is the widest wheel/tire that would fit on the 2k1 (without any modifications)? My car is low right now, but I can raise it up to fit the 18s, I'm just concerned about the width. Thanks ahead of time for any input you guys and gals can give me.

18x7.5 should be fine

Yeah you'll be ok.

Get the 17" inch. 18's are huge, and definitely look too big for a Civic. But that's just my opinion....
the 17 is the best all around size for performance and looks....or so the tests say.

i agree with antidote, 18s make a civi look disproportionate.
and 35 profile on 18s make a rough ride.

Get the 17's or else you will feel every rock and pebble on yer ****.

Man, I really want the 18s, but I guess the 17s would be ok too.
It's only an inch difference.
I'm not too worried about speed right now, I'm kinda going for show.
I dunno, I still have about a week to decide if want to live with pebbles in my [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] or not.
Well, thanks for all the info, my question was definately answered...

just a small advise from bkk... don't get the tenzo wheels... i think they are the basically a locally make wheel in thailand... i got a set of 17 in tenzo SHU4 before. it cost like 80 bucks a pc here...

this is just my opinion maybe the tenzo there and the lenso (local name) here is different but they look identical. i'll post some local samples soon.

AEMcivic

nah, I was looking at the Racing Hart Evolution Z5000.
One of my boys has 17" tenzos and he got a pretty good deal on em. He sure payed more than $80 though!!!
