Have you lowered since? Any rubbing issues?Ok guys i finally put them on. 18x9+25 255/35r18
Im actually going to be lowering it soon. Im going to need to roll the fenders for sure and possibly add some camber to the rear if necessary. I only rub on the back tires if i take a turn onto a steep incline and put all the weight on one corner.Have you lowered since? Any rubbing issues?
Rear is gonna be cambered naturally when you lower the car, I'm definitely more interested in the fronts as those are the exact specs I plan to be running! Be sure to update when you do lower!Im actually going to be lowering it soon. Im going to need to roll the fenders for sure and possibly add some camber to the rear if necessary.

Ended up lowering yet?? Love the specs, curious how the fronts fit when dropped.Im actually going to be lowering it soon.

Not OP, but I’ve got similar specs up front. I’m on coils so I don’t know how much I’ve dropped relative to OEM but the ride height measured from the bottom of the hubcap to the fender was about 14 5/8”. Excuse the bad picture it’s all I got for now. 17x9 +25 255/40/17 in the front, 17x8 +35 225/45/17 rear, -2.3° camber front, -2° rear. Dropped on Meister R coilovers. The 6kg spring rate along with the Type R sway bar I believe is making my ride stiff enough to not rub as much as others. I only rub under high speed dips, hard cornering, and hard brake to full stop. I’ll live with it, eventually it’ll shave off enough of the liner on its ownEnded up lowering yet??

I don’t think so, but I think 255 is a bit much on 8.5.Anyone think I'll have issue with 17x8.5 +38 with 255/40/17 tires on stock height (si) with whiteline rear sway bar?
You can't run 5x100 wheels on a 5x114.3 car. You will need to run adapters, which are at least a 20mm spacer or 25mm. After adapters you will be down to a 18x9.5 +18 or 18x9.5 +13. At that point you are going to need camber and stretched tires in order to run it.Sorry if this thread is done for, but been looking into fitment as well on a 255x35x18 tire along with a 18x9.5 38mm 5x100 Wheel. I’m on d2 lowering springs but once I get everything in I’ll post a picture. Got a Lunar Silver Si coupe and haven’t seen anyone on this forum or other places run this wheel. Hopefully it works. Can’t wait to post it.
Thanks for the clarification! Definitely didn’t double check, I emailed to see if they can switch the bolt pattern. If I do get those, you think it’ll be a flush fitment? Called a couple stores and they said it might be too aggressive but I’ve seen others run same wheel specs on same tire specs with a nice flush lookYou can't run 5x100 wheels on a 5x114.3 car.

In 5x114.3 those are perfect specs, my buddy and I ran those same specs with 265/35/18 and it looks great and aggressiveThanks for the clarification!
