How about trying oh I don't know...The wheel and tire forum?

Anyway, I think the biggest I've seen are 18s on a 4 door, not sure about width

i have seen a 19inch rim on a civic hatch here in town. As for why? No clue, I asked the guy and he just gave me the "it looks tyte" respone.
Personnally I suggest you get a 15 or 16inch rim

You can get 18's with a 35 series tire without doing too much damage.

You can get 16's with a 45 series tire without us laughing at you.

You can get 15's with a 50 series tire and make your car better.

I had 215/35/19 on my 2000 Si for a while. I would hit the fender well just as the steering wheel would be maxed out. Look at my sig if you want a picture. I have 205/40/17 OZ now. Much better.

I wouldnt go any bigger than 16" personally, but 17s dont look bad without a body kit and in import tuner there was a 4 door on 20's and air cylinders awhile back and didnt have to do too many mods...
