04' LX Sedan --- Wheels/Height

I have the 2004 LX Sedan (the popular magnesium grey colour) , and I would like to put some rims on it. Will it look ridiculous if i put 18's on it? (too high sort of thing, approaching rice) is the jump from 17" to 18" really worth it visually?

I am unable to answer these questions myself because I cannot find many examples of people with '04 civc lx sedans with clean wheels who specify whether they have lowered or not. Btw I have no plans to lower my car, all I want to do is tint and wheels.

If any one has some examples of sedans that have been done right, nice and clean, could you please post em up.

Im sorry if I sound like a noob, some answers would be appreciated

Thanks

don't put on 18's or 17's without lowering first
it'll look ridiculous

why don't you want a drop?
just do a 1" drop or something

if you don't want to spend that much money, don't get 17"/18"
just stick with 15"s or 16"s
and use the extra $$ to get springs
