I don't recommend any rim greater than 16" because larger rims will require a lower profile tire and that may compromise the rolling diameter of the tire, not to mention ride comfort.
What do you mean by that term? Deflection of sidewall?
What I mean is how big the outside diameter of the tire is. That affects the speedometer accuracy, and the bigger the rim, typically the shorter the sidewall of the tire which affects the ride quality.
Here is a link to tirerack.com they have 235 different styles of Alloy wheels to choose from for the Civic. If this link works you can choose your car color and see what the wheels look like on your car. discounttire.com also has the same feature.
If this link Works there should be an Atomic Blue Civic Hybrid.

The larger the wheel diameter, the lower the profile of the tire, if you size it correctly. In the end, the diameter should be the same. That's how you pick tire size to match your wheel if plus-size.
