You can also go to the TireRack.com and look at them on any color car. But you are limited to their selection.

a little stiffer than stock due to the low pro tires i have 30's in the rear and 35's in the front. you feel the road alot more but the handling in my opinion is worth it. what i want to do now is try to get rid of that rear end wollowy feel, that is why i might end up lowering it.

i like how it looks too! but i drive from palm beach to miami almost every week especially during spring break. and i work in naples every other day so at highway speeds i notice more and more of the rear end feeling sort of like a chevrolet caprice. i will need to look up a suspension forum. i am not going to drop it too much because i had a 91 civic SI that was ground scraping and was annoying.

lol I had a 90 civic hatchback too. Just sold it to a friend for cheap. It has a b18 engine in it with all 4 wheels disc-brakes from integra. Too bumpy, my back took the punishment.

Do the suspension first, if you need to, replace ball joints and control arms or it won't matter what size rims you put on the car. it will ride like crap and you will be fixing stuff that will cost a lot more than a set of wheels. look at my sig those are 18"s I'll send you a better pic if you need it let me know.
