            20mm spacers do the trick. Some shops are pretty lame and will tell you that you only need the fronts to clear the struts. Don't listen to that, buy all 4 otherwise your fronts are wider than the rears.

              Yeah, this sounds like the correct size.

                ...or 15mm spacers, 225/35/18 tires.

                Jarvis' idea works too, but either way, use 225/35/18 tires. The 15s won't require rolling, but won't look as cool either.

                  I take it you meant me? After a quick look at tire rack's selection of tires, it seems that the more 'affordable' performance tires are available only in 215/35. Not saying that I would go with 215s over 225s, but since this guy is getting 18s made for a Honda civic, he's obviously not too concerned with performance.
