Default Wheels for RSX-S

I just bought a 2002 RSX-S. I'm planning on going up an inch or two on wheel size. Any suggestions for wheel and tire sizes? I was thinking 18" but I'm worried about rubbing issues.
Thanks!

18" will be fine. I've seen 20" on RSX :run: :run:

It won't look very good without a drop, but that's up to you.

Use www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html to calculate an optimal tire size for your new rim.

You can go 18's. I had 18's with comptech springs and my car handled like a dream. If I could have done it over I would have got 17" advan RG's in gold though. Those look sick on rsx's.

I got some 18" Enkeis with Falken tires last Friday. They feel great and the car looks really nice.

Glad you decided, and glad you're happy. Now how about some pics!? Just kidding.

They are not the most expensive Enkeis but look fine to me... I'll try to post a picture tonight or tomorrow.

Ok, so here are the pictures. (Sorry I haven't been able to wash the car or shine the tires lately...)
They are Enkeis RS6 with Falken ST-115's.
