[seven6zero]

what would you guys go with 17x7 or 18x7.5? and will the 18x7.5's fit?

17's because it looks better to me, and plus they dont weigh as much as 18's.

Seriously dog, I've got 18x7's on my whip and I hate em, they look great. But Monday I crossed some railroad tracks as I normally would at 35/40 mph and bammm! blew out the tyre and cracked the rim:'( so I have been driving around on the (may-pop) for a few days now as my new wheel is on back-order. Overall they are not worth getting for just looks. My car feels like a buick le sebre in the turns, brakes further, and just feels clumsy and sluggish. I will be selling them as soon as I get the new wheel and tyre installed.

Hehe 40 series, damn I wish, I've got 215/35/18 I cruised by a local tyre outlet to get advise about two weeks ago on getting larger rubber, but was told that a 215/35/18 is the or smaller is the only rubber you can get away with on a Civic without rubbing while making a U-turn. I may have overstated the handicap in performance a-bit, but If you really love to drive you will find them an inconvienence.

all the more reason to stick with 17's...35 series tires are just too thin for comfort
