yes look heree, im debating :-D
i own a em1 with 17 inch wheels, but the offset is correct, so there will be no rubbing if i lower it 2 inches.
so do u guys suggest i go with possibly h&r springs and lower it 2", sell my 17's and get me some 15's.
orr keep my 17's and lower i 2" and not worry about my shock blowing up on me or anything like that? im not gonna go autocross with the car, but i do tend to beat on it.
can u please give me the outcomes of both

Wheels above 16" are generally not ascetically pleasing, the tires are more expensive, and the cars were simply not made to have wheels bigger than 15", so 16" is still above the norm.

Your car isn't "Si Red" .... it's Milano Red. It's been used since 1992 on all manner of Honda's around the world, and is still in use today.

Re: yes look heree, im debating :-D (stock99si)
well lowering a car on stock struts is a slow painful death for them.... but it wont happen overnight. for a good ride on a budget i would however suggest sprint springs on a tokico blues.... i had that combo when i had 18's on my hatch and it rode better than it does now with skunk2 springs and 15's (i have the same tokico blue struts).. im sure there is better combos and blah blah but im just telling you what i know.
its even easier to just say red

15's-16's on stock body kit civic is a nice look and with the right suspension...its awesome!
However, if your car has a body kit or over sized lip kit maybe 17's-18's would be a better choice and a set of eibach, nuespeed, tein, etc... would do the job
