Dude for the love... I am not going to burn you but seriously what is this fascination with going to 17's when 18's barely fit and even with 18's on the car the wheels look cheap as hell. 17's will look like "dude why did you steal that civic's wheels".

Honestly, what ever performance gain you think you are getting by going smaller will not help you in the least bit. Upgraded brakes will help you more than dropping to 17's. 17's wont even give you .001 of a decrease in your 0-60 times so whats the point??? I dont get it? 17's FTGDMFL!!!

Just go with 18" rpf1s. Tires will not be that much more expensive.
