Default Wheels and Rims for an 88 crx

I know this may sound stupid but I've been dealing with this for a while and haven't bothered to ask. There are a few questions. Here they go:

1) Do 17" wheels fit on a 88 CRX DX? If so, Do i have to fender flare?
2) Should I go with 17" wheels with super low profile or 16" wheels with a thick tire?
3) How are you all doing right now?

Thanks alot, SUMMER BREAK FINALLY!!!

17's will rub if you're lowered. Do yourself -and us- a favour and don't get these. 16's are the biggest I would go, and they're pushing it.

Get a lightweight 15" wheel with lo-pro tires, no bigger than 195width, and you're good to go!

I like 16'' with 205 40. They look the best on our cars IMO. I run 16'' with 205 and No rubbing problems. Car is lowered and I didnt have to roll the fenders. 15's are ok but if your drag racing 14's are coo.

Right now i'm running 17"s on my crx with 205/40.. I like it alot.. it fills the wheel gap nicely and my car is lowerd. I dont have any rubbing problems. I also have a set of 16"s with 205/40. I pefer the 17" for handling and looks though.

I was looking at some 205 15 50 Pirellies and some 15" Rota Slipstreams in Flat black on my white 91 CRX, should look and handle pretty mean!
