I have a solution for you, but the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 will only fit vehicles with wheels up to 16", so your 2018 Honda Civic SI with 18" wheels would not fit on this dolly. I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 since the wheel ramps can be removed and eliminate any issues with low clearance once the car is loaded onto the trailer. The Kar Kaddy comes equipped with disc brakes for better stopping power compared to the hydraulic brakes on the Roadmaster and it comes with the same steerable axle that will provide great handling.
