As much as I hate to say it...
It's possible.

18 expletive inches on a CIVIC?!?! Gotta be ******* nutts man. And here I though 16's were a little too big already. I see alot of Hispanic with EURO lights rocking 18 inch chrome on an EG and it disgust me. Oh, and not to mention those weird ******* mammoth of a spoiler and fart-can exhaust. : SHIVERzz :

That all depends on the tires you choose. My del Sol had 18x7.5 wheels on it when I bought it. I believe the tires were like 215/35 and they fit fine. The overall diameter was probably an inch larger than the 15" wheels I replaced them with.
They rubbed at FULL left/right, like if I had to get into a tight parking spot, but otherwise never rubbed. So yes, 18x7.5 will probably fit on your Civic with the right tires. It's personal taste if you like the way they look or not. It's your car and your money, so make yourself happy and not everoyne here. Even though everyone will hate me for saying this, I kind of liked the 18" wheels I had. I sold them to help pay off the car though.

Re: (Flatland2D)
i currently have 18x7's on my sol with a neuspeed sport drop. no rubbing at all. so yes you can fit 18s, but i wouldn't suggest a 7.5 wide rim. also, my tire size is 215/35/18 be ready to feel all the rough spots in the road. and if this helps persuade you, i'm gettin ready to go back to 15s on it as soon as money permits me to get some 15" wheels that i like.

Re: 18'' wheels (SugaDaddy)
no way, stay with 15's and 16's there the best bet for a civic plus any bigger the wheels would be bigger then the daym car plus the 15's and 16's look the best too

Remember, the proper size depends on the year and model.
He has a '95 Civic Si, which came with 185/60-14 tires from the factory. The proper 16" size is 205/40-16, and the proper 15" size is 195/50-15. This goes for basically any pre-'96 Civic, plus the '96 CX Hatch, '96 DX Hatch, '96 DX Coupe, and '96 DX Sedan.
If you have any other '96 Civic, or any '97-00 Civic, then the proper 16" size is 205/45-16 or 215/45-16, and the proper 15" size is 195/55-15 (although 205/50-15 will also work).
