Hi if only it was that simple. It is not the rims need to have the same offset distance as well other wise they will rub ob the bodywork or scrape the inside of the wheel arch. Also the speedometer will read some difference as you are using a larger wheel.

Karl,

You can certainly use a 17 inch tire and wheel set up on your 2003 Civic. However, to stay within Honda specs 17x7 sized rims and 215/45-17 sized tires is recommended by Honda. Could you use a 215/50-17 sized tire instead? Yes, absolutely, but your speedometer would be ever so slightly out of calibration. And as DR+ mentioned you have to be careful with the wheel offset as well. Only hunt for rims that have a 35 to 40mm offset.
