if you follow the wheel-tire ratio, no matter what size wheels you get, the wheel well should always be nearly identical. So the only thing that matters is how much you tire profile you want to see see.

i go over 9 from the entrance to campus to my apartment. and they are all different heights and some are on hills which makes it worse lol. my buddy in his slammed civic scrapes everything. I got the 18s in a trade for my old 16s because i was worried about scraping the ss kit i got this summer

Oh I know, I.took a shot in the dark buying my wheels. And I think they are perfect! But if I ever bend or crack one I'll replace them with a nice 5 spoke like I posted

the only thing i worry about scraping over speed bumps at the moment is my exhaust, after time you learn to straddle bumps whenever possible but if i get coils like i want to and still run 205/60/15 i'll be a little low, possibly too low for where i live

Like I said, only if I ruin mine. Because they are discontinued and nearly impossible to find
