'96 Civic Height, Wheels & Tires Question
I just bought a 'nice 96 Civic Coupe. I'm thinking about adding some aftermarket wheels & tires. I'm not going to lower the car. At stock height, can I run 18" rims with no rubbing issues or should I stick to 17's? Most of the 17" wheel & tire packages I've seen come with 205/40/17 tires and the 18" wheel & tire packages come with either 225/40/18 or 215/35/18. Also, because I'm not going to lower the car, which wheel & tire will show less gap between the tire and fender. Hope this makes sense and I'd appreciate the help. Anyone have any pics of a '96 Coupe with 17's or 18's that is stock height? Thanks in advance! Bill

you can run, 18's on a civic at stock height, and obviously they will show less fender gap. i think 18's might hinder performance a bit though only because they're so large. but if its just for show than they will be fine. with the 17s i had on mine at stock height, there was just way to much fender gap for it to look good so i lowered it a couple inches and haven't had to deal with rubbing or bottoming out. just some thigns to consider
