    Default 18's on an EK!

    Looking into buying a 96 ek hatch. Has anyone ever tucked 18's on one of those? how did it look? and how low can i go without rubbing? Also if they do rub, does anyone roll fenders professionally?

    i had 18's on my eg. WORST thing i have ever done. The ride was loud and rough! I had to slow down to a crawl to get over train tracks. You feel every bump, oh yea, and they look will like ASS. It was with 35 rubber too. 16's look sexy, 17's look sexy but are the biggest you should ever go on a civic.

    i think CIVIC_MAN is right..16 and 17 is the most i would go...i've seen hatchbacks and they definitely don't look right with 18's...bigger the car..bigger the rims...you got a small car so i suggest stick with 16 or 17 at max.

    Please don't get larger than 17s on a 96-00 civic. Hell I won't even go larger than 16".

    yeah that car is hideous, but it does have 19's. I think 18's with less of a drop would be fine

    The only Civic that pulled off 19's nicely is MIWYFSHOT's old SIR.

    Other than that...17's MAX.

    EVeryone on here keeps saying 18's are damn ugly on 96-00 Civic HB's. Your not listening..stop with your assumption that one extra inch wouldn't be so bad..it just doesn't look good..just sell your rims and get some 15's to 17's..much more . Not a single person on here has said 18's look good on civics...
