The rattling sound in the front of a 1995 Honda Civic wheels can be caused by wheel bearings. These bearing allow the wheel to turn and when they fail the produce a loud noise.
You can fit 7.5x17" wheels on a 1997 Honda Civic. See the specs below: Rim size:7.5x17" PCD:4x100 Offset:37-45 Tyre size:205/40R17
Honda Prelude 1979-1991 have the same bolt pattern so they will "fit". Then it just depends on the width of the wheel and the offset (the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the plane of the hub-mounting surface of the wheel). Honda Prelude 1992+ wheels will not fit.
A Honda Civic is front wheel drive
I am no expert. But different selling markets have different offset as they do not have specific set of wheels to sell along with the vehicle. But anything from 35mm to 45mm would be fine. Try to see the offset value written on your stock wheel. If you are going for a bigger tire, max opt for an offset of 45 otherwise it will look damn ugly (as it will be outside of the fender area) and also rub the fender well on turns.
The 2014 Honda Civic has front wheel drive.
