17's will fit, but as everyone else said it's not a good idea.
I had 17's on my civic for a while and everything people have said here makes sence to me. I had bump steer like a mother*****, and well the car wasn't fast to begin with so any extra weight is just a hinderance.

I would never put anything bigger than 16's on a sport compact again. And don't forget tires. For me, nothing short of 50's will do.

no Honda except the NSX or s2000 needs anything bigger than 16's ever.

you are an idiot. please post a pic of your car so everyone can see how ridiculous 18's look on an integra.


golfer, go with 16's. they are best performance wise and look the best when an integra is lowered. trust me

unless you are going for a show car, 18's are going to look ridiculous, let alone the power loss and the vulnerability of the wheels to get damaged. 17's max, but id say 16's with a front lip or lip kit all around (something clean)

your car looks hidious bro, sorry. get your car, same driver and the same mods except you have your big ugly 18s and the other one has 15 inch fat fives or something lighter and you tell me who would smoke who off the line. i had a civic DX and i had 15s on it and i used to smoke GSRs and other more powerful cars off the line(but i wouldnt go any faster because of the DX h: )

heh, you might smoke a gsr off the line if the driver is a 16 year old kid... but you're not gonna smoke anyone with a dx, civic = waste of money. and 15's and 16's are just retarded lookin, i dont think u know much. 17's are legit i wanted 18's.. but anything less then a 17 looks like crap.. might be a hair better in performance.. but not much and not worth the cheep look, imo

JoePannone...that's pretty ass to say his car looks hideous!! brothalynchhung's car looks mint. i love his wheels. Very clean car. All you people preachin' power loss with 18's are nuts....it's about as silly as sayin' "havin' anything more than a driver's seat on the inside of your car is causing power loss due to too much weight door panels, back seats, etc cause" If you people are SO concerned about power then buy a real "sports car" you can get a TT, Vette, M3 all with 18's and they'll blow the doors off your little Civic DX's. I'm not meaning any harm or disrespect to anybody here but i just felt like I had to say something the stick up for bad boys with 18's on their Civics or Integs. Not everyone wants 13, 14, 15, or even 16" wheels on their Civics or Integs. They definately don't appeal to my eyes. looks cheap if you ask me...and whoever calls somebody with 18's on the Civic or Integ golfers are jokers. THAT'S ridiculous. hey ED9man. who gives you the right to carve in stone "no Honda except the NSX or S2000 needs anything bigger than 16's ever." i don't know if you're aware of the population of this planet but i'm sure alot of people out there have different opinions than you. I think it's pretty arrogant to try and speak for EVERYBODY when it comes to something like that...since everyone said what they think i might as well finish off here....i find it HILLARIOUS to see a civic slammed on anything smaller than 17's....looks like you're tryin' WAAY too hard to have a "race car". gotta make sure your wheels are black too...then you're REALLY fast....hehehe. i hope i didn't offend too many people here........it's all just fun and games.

Hold up Noobie. You just got here, and you're already on your way out the door if you keep posting like that.
People can do what they want, whether it looks bad or not, but we hafta respect each other.
