It's not exactly well modded. Those look like 16" to 18" wheels. What he's done is that he's increased the ride height of the car by fitting bigger wheels, the outer circumference of the tyres are almost touching the wheel arch.

Now, while this car might look good on display, on the road, it would bcome very unstable at high speeds. Imagine the amount of air getting sucked under that chassis, this car is all setup to turn over.

Look at this Modded Civic. it has equally big wheels but see how he's maintained a low ride height. look at the height difference between the bottom of the skirts and the centre of the wheel.
