Even if they fit, it would look like ***. Don't even try.

Your question is dumb, not the answers.

18's would look stupid on a little civic. Period.

People are sayin not to do do it because it won't look right, and will ride ***, for real!
Handling is also robbed, and the car will be a lot more gutless with all the extra weight.

Here is a customer's car we did... We did a lot of things to it... very naughty things like an H22A swap and discs all the way around, suspension you name it was done... but it also got 18's that we had to put on it... felt very wierd spinnin the 18's with a H deuce it would let go and grab real quick... felt wired but koo... that is all I will say... obviously hatch and crx have the same clearance issues...

Honestly, save your money and get a nice set of 15s or 16s.
