That size will fit under the fender. Only concern I have is with that offset, becareful you are not hitting your suspension (the springs). Stock offset is 35, you stated 42, so you've brought the tire 7mm closer to the srpings, make sure that is okay, and you should be fine.

For an Si, but I thought the rest of the non-K20 civic's had 35mm, could be wrong. I did find that a 45 mm will fit, but some people say it comes really close to the control arm.

It's a pretty good price for a set of 18's with tires from what I've seen, but I've also heard not to great things about Wanli tires. You may want to spend the extra $15~$20 per tire for a better brand.

I haven't been looking into 18's that much, but 215/35 seems it would bit short and will leave you with very little rubber between your rims and the ground. IMHO, 215/40/18 would be a safer bet.

Oh and stock offset information can be found in the FAQ at the top of the page:
