Default rims

gentelmen, i want to replace my civic 4 door lx rims with 2006 civic si rims. Any ideas if it is possible? I was concerned about the 17 inches being too big compared to the 16" i have. Dont want it to rub against the fender when turning. Please advise

The SI comes stock with 17" wheels and tires and it doesn't rub or have any issues... why do you think that you would? Not to mention that honda sells optional HFP 18" wheels for the 06+ civics as well... It seems pretty obvious what the answer to your question is... you got the comment and link from Spyris for that reason

16" wheels are tiny. u can have 18's with no rubbing issues. 35 offset on an 18" rim with 225 tires used i believe someone had as a setup. i'll be going along those lines.. when i get the money again
