I am fine with 17 Axis w/ 205/40/17, and has 40 offset. no rub, I used GC and Koni.
the ride is even worse when I used 16 with winter tire.
But yes the car slow abit cause the rims.
I think 18 is a little too big for civic, IMO
anyway, the rims (Axis 7) are for sale, because of the flakes bidder on ebay.

I keep hearing people talk about bending their rims. Man, what kind of roads are you driving on? I've had 17" wheels, with 40 series tires on my cars for years, and have never bent a rim (knock on wood). I guess Georgia has decent roads afterall.

the roads are awesome down south.....once i hit about maryland i didnt see any trouble through daytona beach. up here in the north, the cold winters cause water under the roads to freeze, causing bubbles in the pavenent, cracks, and potholes. sucks ass.

Get some 18's if your not to low
But your on the wrong board to be askin this. These guy's prefer performance over show and 18's are most def show...I would have gotten 18's but my insurance made me get Parada's and I couldn't find em in a 35 seriouse tire

Most of the northern state's roads suck because of winters and plows chewing up the road, the roads expanding and contracting from the different temps. Down south the roads only get hot and warm And you guys barely get any snow.

I bent a set of Konigs...now that's damn hard to do 
h:Even if we take them off for the winter and put the stock on...once spring rolls around, the roads are still shiat. Then all summer the construction is everywhere and it's even worse
