i like 16's on civics it might fit well depending on whether or not your dropped if your dumped it might not fit. tire size depends again mostly on how much of a drop you have on your car.

english is your friend.

any ways, 16s will fit your car fine. I wouldn't go any farther then 16s since you will have the tires rub against the fender liners and other parts under the fender. also for tire sizes: 205/45/16 is the perfered size even though you can run 20/40/16, that is like running on a rubber band and has horrible ride quality(I'm talking from experience btw)

you need to raise the car up if the it's rubbing on 14s. that has no benefits to drop it that low and is a danger to yourself and others around you on the road. I won't lowerd it more then 2 inches. anything more then that is for SHOW purposes only.

Raise your car up a bit, and if you have 16s put them on with a 205/45/16 tire

I got the same setup except I'm on 205/40/16s. Didn't realize they were so low profile til it was too late.
