Default What wheel size should i get?

i just bought a ej civic and i am wondering what size wheel i should get. I am pulling more towards the 16'' but wasnt sure if i should up it to 17's. i do alot of city driving so i dont want any lower of a profile of tire lower than 40. I am planning on doing a 2.25 inch drop. If i have to role the fenders i will. just wondering what you guys think.

I was thinking of getting the rota circuit 8.

you definitely do not want 17"s, especially in a city

we live out in the country and my mom was constantly bending 17"s

15"s or 16"s will ride so much smoother, and allow for a bigger tire

i vote 15"s for sure

where are you ordering from?

Why is your mom driving your car? I have 17s and I love the handling improvements. But I went from 14s to 17s, so I have never experieced the handling with 16s.
