Default question for you honda guru's out there???

I have a 03 civic ex and I am looking at a set of 17" adr gt-sport rims with faulken low pro tires and wanted to know what you guys think. Will it look ok with the stock coils and shocks on or will I need to lower it in your opinion? Also as far as the 03's go I am pretty new to foreign cars so I am at a stand still as for what I should do next for more performance. So far have the basics, intake, header, exhaust and was looking for the next step. Unfortunately I am not rich but it is a sad feeling when my mom's olds has more nutz off the line than my sohc 1.7 vtec I have read a little bit about the edel bolt on turbo but have not seen anything about it for an 03 civic ex. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, you guys really know your stuff!!

a good suspension would be the next thing i would do, if u do that get a whole new system like tein, so if u dump that **** it wont blow out u're struts! read up on the suspensions, buying a shock system like tokico and putting a skunk2 coil-over on seems to be the thing to do, but i got tein which wasn't much more money but worth it to me!

Around here most people will tell you that 17's are too big and only look good on a few cars. The Civic is not one of them. Plus if you feel that your new Civic is slow now, it will be terrible when the 17's and their weight are along for the ride. Don't ask me how I know this.
Check the Appearance Forum for different looking wheels on cars. And use the search button a lot before posting common questions. That way, you will not get flamed.
