Default Finaly Droped it

Ok I finally dropped my car and I love it. But I have one last question for you guys. I have Konig tantrums on my car now that are 17" and they are just bad luck, and are beat to shit. I want to buy new rims and these are the ones I want Rims. Now I dont know what size to get 17" or 18". I am sitting on AGX shock & H&R Sport Springs. If I were to go with 18" and Tires being 215-40-18 would I rub my fender or control arm at all. I guess that is my biggest concern about going bigger. I was thinking bigger cause my 17's now 225/45/17 just look so small on the car. You know, can you guys please give me some advice thanks

Oh by the way I have a 96 VTEC Sedan

If you get the proper offset wheels, you shouldn't have a problem with it. I suggest an offset between +42mm to +45mm.

how's the ride quality? what are your AGX's set on? i need shocks, cuz i'm riding on H&R sport springs with stock shocks.. i'm looking at AGX's or tokico illuminas. koni yellows are just too damn expensive.

i think 17" rims look good on 5th gens. 18" is a little too big for my tastes, but if you think it looks good, go for it.

I absoulty love the ride but I really dont have anything other to compare it to, other than stock ride which sucked on my car to begain with. AGX is def worth it bro you dont need that much ajustability anyway unless you autocross.
