You can fit 19's no problem, but you'll have to be extra careful. Having a wheel that size you'll more than likely need a very low profile tire for it not to sit too high and for you to be able to drop it a little. And with the low profile tire you need to be careful with potholes and such as your rim will probably bend alot easier.

Saw a dude on here put 20's on an 06 civic sedan..... looked alright, but I wouldn't get 20's just not my thing, 18's are the most I'd go, anything above that, you're over compensating.

20s are way to big for a coupe. *PUKE*

Only 2door that looks half decent with 20" rims is a Mercedes SL600 and a BMW M6

If you want to pay more for tires, lose gas mileage and kill performance then I say go for it! To each his own, then again I got 19s on my 350z but thats a 350z. LoL

I could not agree more! I have 19"s and it stops at looking good. I run a 35 Series tire and its hell. They Roar, bumpy and dont handle with crap! But they look good. I have the car lowered also and have the camber correction kit front and rear. All I can say is they look good as hell, but nothing else is good about them. And right now I have 2 bent rims. I am waiting for my Black Rota Boost 17" with a 45 Series tire to come in.

Agreed. Good for show but not go. And also you cant corner for ****. When I go faster than 45 -50 mph in a good sharp turn it feels like the rim is gonna hit the road.
