18s are wayyyyyyy to big for a civic hopefully it's not lowered or plan to be lowered.
And if it's not lowered it's going to look like you tried to make an SUV out of a car.

This reply and the one preceeding it are irrelevent. Just answer the kid's question and stop busting his *****.

If I did that in my civic, i'd wreck it (total)
If you're going to get rims, go all the way to 24's

constantly rubbing, cracking rims, putting eggs in tires like it normal, expensive tires, shitty ride, extremely heavy, bad breaking because of weight, hmmm what else..

215 35 18 42-45 mm offset you wont have any problems. i used to run that size and my buddy ran 19's. we never had any problems. good luck with your project. if lowered to the correct height it should look good.

it was one of those awesome times when i was changing a cd, driving down a road where they decided to put in the awesome king size residential speed bumps. the fist one is at the top of a hill where ricers like to go way to fast in a 25. after that speedbump the fact that my tires rubbed was not my main concern. my biggest issue, was the $450 kaminari bumper, that i was throwing in the back of my car because it broke all of the mounts.

these arent bling bling rims dousches. google konig toxxins. they are nice wheels. these are for my girlfriends car. she just wanted something thatd look nice. when i bought teh wheels i thought they were 17. only after i got them did i realize they were 18. the car wont be lowered. this is the only thing that will be done to the car cosmeticly.
i am in no way a ricer, but i dont have to prove my self to ignortant people. such as all of you that posted dick remarks have proved yourselves to be.
for all that posted helpful remarks, thank you. its much appreciated. i dont know the offset of the wheels. i only opened one so far and the sticker on teh back was gone. ill try to find it on one of the other ones.

you call people dicks and ignorant
only an ignorant dick would let his chick drive a unlowered civic with 18's.
you should post pictures of this beast when you're done, it sounds hot.
