Default Largest wheel on civic?

Whats the biggest size wheel you can put on a 91 civic? And what do you have to do to it for that to happen. I just want 17's.

17's can be done, but if not done right with a proper suspension setup it looks like you are ready to do some serious off-roading. I prefer 15's but 16's are still cool in my book.

I think after 17s is when you need to start moddifying

i've got 15" x 6.5 rotas with eibachs and i have had rubbing. if you're just tooling around then 17" would probably be okay with a stiffer suspension setup. if you're going to be racing through any corners you're gonna rub.

save the money from the big fancy wheels and get more power. You'll have a lot more fun with more power but what are you gonna do with big wheels besides stand in your driveway and stare at them saying wow, I just waisted my money. But if you want to get them then thats cool, to each their own.

For a 91' 15's are optimal, 16's will work. Nothing larger.

Since the earlier civics are smaller in appearance compared to the newer ones I would say 15's or 16's will look good on the car as long as you have a decent drop. 17's will work but look a little big IMO. Good luck with your choice!
