probably either 215/35/19 or 225/35/19
yes most people on here with 19's have to have their fenders rolled or it will rub. Yes you can put 19's on our cars. Not recommended, but you can. 19's is about the biggest you should put on our cars. 18's i think are perfect.
But the tires should be either of those two.
hope that helps

^ I hear ya, ricer would be 19" Chrome wheels, granted, they aren't JDM wheels but still he has done it nicely and can pull it off.
18's and 19's too big if your not swapped? Plz explain, that pretty much makes no sense at all.

Rep Power: 321 I've got 18's, and no swap or turbo, guess i gotta throw my wheels away, and yes, you can fit 19's on your car no problem and drop it 2.5", Riley (rijowysock, extreme2k2civic) all have it or had it done no problem, Blackbullet has 20's, granted he has an air ride, but others have done that too.
Why have a big *** spoiler on the back of your car? Our cars don't need it or use it? So why tell me why i don't need 18's? My new Volks are Forged 1 piece and are prolly lighter than most peoples 16" and 17" wheel. And honestly, between a 17" and 18" wheel, if your not racing, its not gonna matter one bit.

i figured drew would be upset...I'm glad you like my spoiler too man, grow up too about the spoiler comment man....i get it alot and your the last person i'd expect to here dumb **** from but ok....obviously you can run up to 20" with no problems really...i've had 19's and 18's granted each were fairly light my gram lights are way lighter than your konigs buddy....maybe not your volks....lol

Rep Power: 321 I'm not mad, it just didn't make any sense to say 18 or 19" wheels were too big for the motor. I would say 20" wheels would be too heavy, and should only be run on cars that can sport them and not look retarded, I bet your wheels are lighter than my Konigs, thats why i said my Volks are lighter than most 16" and 17" not all, but most. I'm not trying to start an argument at all, thats just not my style, i'm only giving you a hard time about the spoiler because i seen in another post you saying you want a smaller one.

Rep Power: 281 Not trying to get in the middle of this crossfire but running rims this big is it safe. I mean will the car still drive stock? Will you need to upgrade to a big brake kit? Also I heard the speedometer isn't accurate when you run rims that big. Please enlighten me but IMHO i think 17's are the perfect size for our cars unless you have a wide bodykit to match those big rims.
yeah man....just giving you a hard time....but alot of people buy 18's and up just to look good and they end up with some off-brand wheels that weigh 20lb's with no tire...i'd just rather see someone get a lighter smaller wheels if that fits their budget better....because the almighty d17 does not like heavy wheels imho

Rep Power: 321 Yea i hear ya about the wheels, i understand people's budgets sometimes are not that great, but when they stretch it to buy an 18" knock off wheel when they could have had a nicer 17" wheel. I'm soon to be swapped so it won't make much difference, but when i go to the track with the swap, you better believe i'll have different wheels on there.
i'm a ricer since i have 18s.
Some people put 18s and 19s on their civic because its a show car. Plain and simple. Your comment makes no sense at all. Not everyone wants to race their car. Some people just want to have a nice ride to get them from point A to point B even if that sometimes takes longer than others.

Rep Power: 0 I guess my steelies make my civic 5up3r m4d f45t JDM drift0r type y0. That was a stupid comment about the 18s/19s being too big. Whatever floats the persons boat, unless they are chrome 20s, then GTFO and burn in hell

^ i totally agree with you on the fact that 18's make the car accelerate and brake a lot slower. So don't get me wrong. My point was that your statement. that you should not have 18 or 19s unless you are boosted or have a motor swap. that doesn't make sense. thats why i gave my comment on show cars. that was my point.
i'm sure its easier to drive with smaller rims, but your comment was just OUT THERE. You don't have to have a motor swap or a boosted car to have bigger rims. that was my point.
Was in no intention of starting an argument though. Just found your statement making no sense.
