Don't do it, I have 17" Enkei RS6's & I HATE them w/ a passion. Don't go bigger than 16's.

if the smallest wheel size they will fit under is 17" that should tell you something. those will be overkill for a 2200lb car.

i was under the impression that the wilwood kit will fit with most 16" wheels.
check the spacing

I have 17's on my Hatch. No problem. Rides better than when I had my 14's steelies w/60 series tires on it. No rubbing even w/ 4 ppl in car.

I've got 17" enkei's I believe their RS6 boughtem second hand but they never scrub and I never have any problems out ofem and I believe they look good as hell...but I also have springs on my car but I dont think they even lower they car they are meant for ahdnling.

i have 17's on my CRX and they fit fine. my car isn't lowered at all though so it looks a little goofy. the ride is also a bit too harsh. i'm goin to get either stock Si wheels, 00 Si wheels, or Mugen MR5's.

Agreed, I have 17's on my CRX with 40 series tires, kyb adjustables and GC cilovers. Evan with the settings on the softest setting, it still rides harsh. I bought 15 inch tenzo sinkos (knock off i know) and i think that it will ride allot better.
