Default 17's on crx too big?

I am thinking about buying some 17's for my stock 91 crx si. It has no suspension mods. Are 17's too big? Feedback is appreciated

i personally think 17s are too big for a CRX. i have 15s for mine, and i wouldn't go any bigger than 16.

Ihad 17's on my rex and decided after a while that the 17's were just too big. They are sluggish feeling and you feel EVERY bump in the road. I would stay around 16 or 15s. I hae 15s now and I love them!

Dude i got 17's on a 1991 civic gl, true it is lowered but there is no scrubage on the arches and it looks awsome!!! jst watch the handling cuz it becomes a handfull (not unsafe tho!!). Welshie2020

17s are def too big on an EF.. 16's MOST! 15s look best IMHO. Any bigger than 16's start to look to big for the car and out of proportion.

I would go with 15's so you won't lose to much torque. I've got 15'' rota slipstreams and it rides and performs really good.

OK non needed banter.. all in all 17s are tooo damn big for a crx. Totally throws off the look..

Its like a MKII Golf on 17s or 18s too big.... Throw some 16x8s on it though
and dump it and you have one sick ride ( saw you 2 were from europe )
and had to throw some VW in there Play nice people!

17's are too big. They make EF's look goofy, especially when they aren't lowered.
