you can, but at the cost of your turning radius, I would stick to 17's, but also i got flamed a lot for this, but dont buy a rim that is thinner than the stock. for example the stock rims are

16X8 F&R

so go bigger like

17X9 F
17X10 R

WTF are talking about???

You can most certainly put on 18" and even 19" wheels on your FD. You do however need to mind offset and the bigger/wider you go necessitates modification (coilovers, rolling the fenders, aftermarket trailing arms and toe links, etc.)

Here's a car w/ 19" Advan Sienas.

I wanta go to 17's my friends are like 18 or 19's but i dont wanna ruin the car. I think 17 with a half inche drop would be perfect for me. But the white 1 does look nice.
