Default what is the best size of rim and tyre for honda civic 3door hatch back that will ultimately improve

its look? planning to put alloy wheels and don't know exactly what the size that will improve its look without downgrading its performance and safety. would it be ok to have large diameter rim and low profile tyre?

well i think the biggest size of the rim that could be fit on a civic shud be the 17''. but size 17 is actualy 3'' bigger than the stock size therefore it could have some nigitive impact on ur wheel base, suspension and everything. i can remember i read it some where that u shudnt go for any more rim that is bigger for about 2'' than the standard size. so i would say go for the 16''. this way it will match the size of ur hatch back civic too.

i say 16" because it will make it look really nice, and wont be too big or too small if youre planning to drop it. 17" is good too, but i would say its more for the show, not looks. Also, check out the Rota Circuit 8 in bronze. Looks great on a 3dr Hatch.
