Default headlights and wheel sizes...

I just ordered new halo projector headlights and was wondering if they are hard to install , should i have them payed to be installed or just install um myself (btw i won't be driving for a few months so if i mess up i can always reinstall them but i was wondering if i can seriously Fk them up)

Also i heard different things about wheel sizes that the biggest i could fit is 18" also heard 20"s and 19"s i was wondering if i could fit 20"s (my bro's friend has 20"s he would sell me cheap which would save me alot of dough) only thing he lives in cali so to have um shipped just to find out they wont fit is pointless any way if you know what the biggest size is please let me know thanx

by the way its 98 civic ex (coupe)

Shouldn't be too hard.

Also i heard different things about wheel sizes that the biggest i could fit is 18" also heard 20"s and 19"s i was wondering if i could fit 20"s (my bro's friend has 20"s he would sell me cheap which would save me alot of dough) only thing he lives in cali so to have um shipped just to find out they wont fit is pointless any way if you know what the biggest size is please let me know thanx
If you're asking about wheels larger than about 17" you should ask in the appearance forum, not the performance forum.

As for the biggest...I dunno...how much money do you want to spend on modifying your cars body to fit them?

Remove the bumper to install them. Without removing the bumper its a pain in the butt (in fact it's almost impossible).

Civic looks good with 15" and 16" rims - anything larger is not only a waste of money on wheels and tires, but a significant sacrifice in performance. Save big wheels for a big car.

Damn, 20's on a Civic. poor car. Is this strictly a "show car"? If not I would not do this. It will ride like crap, handle like crap, drive like crap, pickup speed like crap, and quite frankly look like crap. Not to mention the ball joints and tie rods you will be changing every week.

Drivable where? It is also not good for your suspension parts or differential. But yes you can make them fit w/ modifications.
