if you lower a car your bound to have negative camber later on down the road. just by a camber kit for the front and use the washer trick (search washer trick if you don't know what i am talking about.) it will save you from buying new tires every 6 months. and yes those 17's fit, but imo 16's would look cleaner.

You should get a wheel with an offset around 40-43 mm to make it fit properly.

You need a full tube frame setup to clear 17" wheels.

dont go w/ 17s on your ek.. i have a 98 hatch and im planning to go w/ either 15s or 16s... i ono.. lighter and better gas mileage with smaller rims.. IMO if the rims look sick.. it doesnt really matter how big they are.. especially if your going to drop your ****...

a 99-00 Si isn't a EK. it is an EM1. just some f.y.i., but yes they will fit but 16's look cleaner i.m.o.

My friend has 19"s on an EK, damn hot too.

But 18"s just fit the car sooooooo good.

19's on an EK?

Ive heard of 18's on Civics but never seen 19's. Gotta pic? Its a Civic not a freekin SUV, I say 16's max but to each their own.
