18's look like the perfect way to go on a Civic IMO.

certified newbie question if you guys don't mind helping me out:

Just purchased the 2017 Civic Hatchback LX with 16" wheels.

1.) is it possible to upgrade to 17" and still use the same tires? should I just look out for another 16" that will fit my tires?

2.) pretty much got the concept of offset, but in terms of practicality, what is the pros/cons of changing it?
-does it affect performance/handling?
-will it increase/decrease road noise?

3.) any suggestions for a wheel? in terms of color,
actually thinking of getting either black (matte preferably) or gold (matte or semi-glossy)

1-you cannot use 16" tires for a 17" wheel
2-i believe road noise is determined by the tire itself
3-imo either works fine since you have a white car but i lean towards black wheels

Will this fit my 2016 civic coupe? and if so, what tire size is recommended?

18x9.5 5x114.3 +22

I test fit an 18x9.5" 35mm up front on my coupe and it stuck out way more than I like BUT others here are running something similar with a stretched tire. Pushing it out another half inch past that (13mm)... I can't imagine that wouldn't look kind of dumb but that's just my opinion.

UPDATE: some pictures for reference:

Here's when I test fit that 18x9.5" 35mm...

Here's the final sizing, 18x8.5" with a 245/40/18:

Thanks for the reply allstar. I'm relatively new to the wheel/tire game, so its hard for me to "visualize" how a wheel will look on my car. The look i'm going for is that the wheel/tire are flush with the stock OEM fenders. I just worry that the ones i do get stick out like a sore thumb and i regret the purchase =(

But similarly, the wheels i like have another size. Will these sit flush with my 2dr coupe?
