18s are good if you are considering gettin a drop along with it. but if you're planning on keeping it on stock springs, then go with the 17s. personally i'd go wtih the 18s---much better.

Well if you do go with 18's do not go with anything bigger than 215. I have 245/40/18 on right now and those things scrub against the springs when there are people in the back seat. I am getting the dealer to put on 17" wheels instead with 215/50/17 so that will for sure work better as that is an optional size of wheels from honda.

245 is very wide for our cars.

You should be okay with 225. I have no problems with them on my 99.
