most preferred rim size for civic sedan
between the 2, which size would you prefer based on looks (wheel gap) & performance?
hey guys, i need some advice on choosing rims sizes.
i drive an 04 sedan and i'm installing the eibach prokit.
which tire size would accentuate with the springs better and not create a major gap or chances of rubbing.
thanks bro-ski's

Rep Power: 341 17's look great, but 16's look good as well. i was debating this, but i have decided on 16's for my sedan because they are cheaper and still look great imo

Rep Power: 279 i have a set of 18's with a 225/40/18 with eibach prokits as well but also using kyb agx's. in all honesty the 18's are too big. i think 17's are perfect but you will need a 215/45/17 to fill in the wheel well gap. i have about and inch now with the 18's and 225/40's so the 17's with 215/45's will be about the same. the pics that i have are already uploaded in the site so i cant repost them here but i do have pics in the clean 7thgens thread

Rep Power: 314 17 if you dont mind the more harsh ride compared to 16 (and more rubber). I chose 16 b/c my Civic was a daily driver and I'm in NYC so.............

Rep Power: 279 it all depends on the tire as well. you can get a similar size sidewall for the 16 as you can for the 17. so basically its down to what size do you like. i personally dont like bubly tires. i love the way a 215/45/17 looks just enough tire not too much rims or tire, but that is me

Rep Power: 296 You have an 04 EX right?
I'd keep the stock 15' rims and get some 205s later.
If I had the chance I'd trade my 17s for some 04/05 EX rims anyday.
Just noticed you are in GG...funny that I've never seen your car on the road before.
