I have a all stock very clean 94 civic hatch dx, but the rims on it are ugliest things ever.

I found some 17in Lenso Rims with a 4, 1/2" lug pattern. Tire size is 21540ZR17.
Will they fit without any modifications?

anyone got a set of white rims for 400 im yours. but if these will fit im considering them.
there sick, but 16s are the best for Hondas... i put white powder coated LS Mesh on mine..16s looks BA..its just the perfect fit for the civics design.

yes, 17 will fit on your Civic, but i'll stay away from them. stick with 15 and 16,but it is your car. if you do get them post up pix how the look on you ride.

Thanks for the input man. How do you think it will ride though with 17s, is that why you prefer 16s or 15s, or is it strictly base upon looks?

Because A deal like this for having rims look an inch too big is something i dont think im gonna pass on. But if it is a horrible ride. I'll deff. wait out another deal on some 15s or 16s.

So hard to find a rim that size and cheap in louisville, everybody goes huge down here.

But trust me I'm taking everyone's advice into consideration considering this is my first car (18 btw hah).
Yeah I'll make a new thread here in a week or so with my car. Its mint condition, but i plan on building it up a little.

i had 17 in and its WAY bumpier, gas mileage goes down, and depending on the weight of your rims and the type of engine you have acceleration can be affected (at least for my d16y7) i got some 15's to replace the 17's and all i could say was WOW. nice and smooth ride, gas mileage went up by like 6mpg and i could speed up way quicker. your choice though. but i personally think now that getting 17's is sayin that your goin more towards looks than for performance

Thanks man. I guess im gonna have to pass. Although it is so hard to find white rims here.
But with my some type of D16 engine (just got it 2 weeks ago and i know nothing about cars, but VERY willing to learn) sounds like ill have the same troubles as you.
RATS!

well if you plan on lowering your car its better to have 15's or 16's. and if you hit a curb (like i did with the 17's way too much) its really really noticable curb rash. when you find some 15's or 16's youll prob fall in love with em pretty quickly. also the tires on 17's are way more expensive. GL with findin some rims! check out rotas cause they prob in your price range
