Default Are 17s too big

ive been looking for rims for a while now, i really want to find a nice set of 16s but it seems like all the good deals are on 17s, i used to have 17s on my ek coupe and i liked them i just want to know what you guys think.

Ive got 17's and there fine, even with 40mm drop, The sad fact is that civic's handle best and feel perfect on 15's. So 16's are just a compromise.

i have 205's on mine. wouldn't 215 be too wide? i dunno, i could be wrong. yea 17's are a good look on a civic. as far as handling, 15-16's would be perfect.

Ive got friends who have 18's on there civics/sols and even they fit so yes 215 will fit, but I wouldnt go above 205.
