Default Rim Question

What is the biggest size rim a 2008 civic LX can handle? And also any good sites to buy after market parts from? Thank You.

Being Puerto Rican has nothing to do with it. I've seen even the most caucasian of caucasians slapping over-sized wheels on their under-sized cars down here.

One of my co-workers just recently put 22" 3-spoke rims on his '03 Impala. Ugliest thing I have seen to date.

Sadly, many people fail to grasp the concept that sometimes LESS IS MORE!

I know someone who has 22's or 20's on a Accord. I never really asked but the car looks like a 4x4 with big *** chrome shields as tires.

Its ugly *** hell, believe me!!!!!

Go with 18x7.5 with 215/40-18 tires. Especially since you don't have to worry about changing em out in the winter (as a Florida resident). I think that's the biggest you can go without going overboard. But yes, 20's are possible and 17's are recommended.

18's are as big as I'd go but since you're talking about an lx i'd say 17's. Less performance with bigger wheel.

I have 18" rims on my civic, I have a 06 LX, and I was wondering how much of an impact that that size tire has on my performance. Granted I have a LX with a CAI, exhaust, and Skunk2 lowering springs Im not really going for speed, more of show but anything that takes away from power I dont want, so should I go for a smaller rim size?

I think 18's would be the biggest you can go without making the ride horrible
