19s r 18s?

I got 17s now but i wanna go bigger...

I use my car everyday for about 2-3hours of actual driving time.
The roads down here arent great, but not too too bad. Would i be pushing it with 19s?
or should i be safe and get 18s?

I know 19s r def better cuz they're bigger, but from a cautious point of view, which one would be better?

Also i want white rims, so which rims do you reccomend in 18 or 19?

I would be safe and stick with 18s... but that's just me. 19s just seem too big for a Civic. *shrugs*

Real true bout 19's lookin real good but the tires for those things are like mad crazy expensive, so i hear. Something about odd numbered tire sizes that makes em more expensive.. anybody know why?

Aren't you the guy that doesn't wanna drop his car cuz you got a kit? If 19" will close the wheel gap just put those on.

i do deliveries in my car all the time in baton rouge. its a rough ride on 18's for the most part, considering our state has the crappiest roads around. No bigger than 18 IMO.

I have had my mind set on 17s...but now I am thinking 18s...would 18s rub if i lowered it? And would 18s bog my engine down more becuz of bigger rims?
