It doesn't matter what size you put on you will still have wheel gap,
DONE PROPERLY & Professionally, your side profile will just get smaller but the overall outsid ediameter will not change. If you put larger tires on that don't calculate right from your stock tires, you will have speedometer problems and others may occur.
You are going to need lowering springs/coilovers to get rid of the gap. If you don't believe me, talk to a tire specialist. They will tell you the same thing.

Bigger Wheels = more rolling mass = need to upgrade the braking power.

Rep Power: 295 Just do it. I did and I got a lot of **** for it but I could care less as to what everyone says. I've gotten 4 magazines, who knows how many trophies and been in on tv specials. So apparently I'm doing something right.

Rep Power: 237 depends where you live. If you have no pot holes on your streets, GET IT. but i recommend nothing over 19 if its daily driven. ignore some of the idiots here saying its rice, do what you want, its your car. They say my car is rice cuz i hav 18 lexani chrome on mine, yet i turn every head i drive by, and have caused about 5 car accidents due to people turning back looking at my car.... or maybe its the 8 tv's.. i dont know

the only exception that i'll admit 20s are good on civic's is when they do it VIP style. and no, putting 20s on your car with a lame *** body kit does not mean you're VIP.

Rep Power: 220 civic on dubs not too bad of an idea. it can be nice. i had 19s on my old civic and it wasnt too rough of a ride, on air too. but this was like 3 years ago. i've had 17s that was riding worst then my 19s. civics on 20s aren't "ricey". you guys out there with wide body, crazy a$$ body kits, and metal shopping cart wings are ricey!!! that civic there ^^^^^ on dubs will $hit on most of you guys here. but me, i prefer my stock 17s now, alottttttt cheaper on tires. but if it was 2 or 3 years ago, i'd probably try some 20s on my civic just for fun.
