Lightbulb Biggest rim size for 89 Civic Hatch Si

what would people suggest the biggest rim size with average profile tires would be on a 89 civic si hatch, it does have Ground control Coilovers and KYB AGX adjustable strut/shocks?

I ask because I'm possibly interested in a good deal on 18"

but I'm thinking for all safety and ease, I shouldn't exceed 17" - just curious what people think the best setup would be...

also, rim/tire places that offer financing besides LEE's?

- Sorry man, but I don't think you would like anything bigger than 16's, but it is your car and your taste. Check out tirerack.com to see your car with 18's. Good luck.

ok- i see you might be new into cars being that you are a new member. DONT get that in house financing shit- matter of fact- dont put anything on your charge card for your car especially unnecessary mods. Unless you have to.....Not trying to tell ya what to do but if it was not for my parents back in the day I would have been stuck paying for my motor on a very high interest rate- haha- anyway just a piece of advice to save you some money

Yah, I was hoping 17's would work, ebay got some killer 17" wheel+tire packages, but good looking

Yeah, my credit is new so, I won't be doing all that, got savings accounts going for my extra shi, I was just seeing if there was a nice finance hook up, some people do same as cash, in house, I could pull $400/monthly to pay it off in time, I would never finance luxury things on high interest rates, thanks for tip though, good look

Don't go over 16's please, even most 16'' wheels on 88-91 civic/crxs are hard to pull off. 17's and above look just like caprices with 24s....
