Default Will 18's fit or not?

Will 18 in. rims fit on my 94 civic EX. I currently have 17 in. rims and there is about a 2 to 3 finger gap in both wheel wells. I want to trade my rims for 18's but I dont know if they will fit, I have stock springs on. If anyone has any comments they would be greatly appreciated.

ive seen a couple of your comments and im glad you held back the urge to explode on this noob hahah

anyways,...since you are not dropped then yes 18s will fit,..you will look like a freaking 4x4 without a drop but they will fit,..i had 18s on before with a drop and they only rubbed when i made an extreme turn

I try to help out the new guys, its just when they
ask for it they need to know how things work. This
is a tech forum and I guess this was a valid tech
question. I dont think 18's would work because when
you turn they would hit the inside frame. Im not up on
my math terms but I think you would say they have to
big of a diamiter.

if you have wheel gap. ******* LOWER IT!
don't expect getting bigger rims will fix that, and still look good.

17's not icy hot enough for ya, eh? Yeah, they'll fit just fine, but don't expect the wheel-gap to go away. Ground clearance will increase another .5 inches...so you can probably offroad that sumbitch by now.

Asuming you started with 14 inch rims and 50-series tires, you should be anti-lowered between 1.25 and 1.75 inches depending on the original widths you were working with. Damn, son, you're the kind of kid that I laugh and point at.

What the hell is everyones deal on this page. A year ago there werent this many ******** on HT. I asked a question , just because you dont like the question I asked, or you dont like somebody's style other than your own, you think you should flame on them. I am not expecting to decrease the gap with 18's, I wanted to know if it would hurt anything to put them on. Since I dont have a lot of cash flow, I take what I can get. I can get a brand new set of 18's by trading my year old 17's. Sounds like a good deal to me. This site is supposed to be to help people out. I never insulted or flamed on anyone. What's the deal?
