Hi, have some insight to this as I run a similar setup 18x9.5 +35 with 245/40/18 with eibach prokits on my 2018 Si Coupe.

I had to get my fenders shaved because it was rubbing when going over bumps/dips on the highway when travelling 80mph.


Another thing to note is that I also had to trim the back of the side markers in order for it to not pop out when hitting these bumps/dips.

Here are some pic of my specs.

Wow this is top notch *chef's kiss*
Thank you for the advice, I'm going to keep digging for info - It is looking like something is gonna have to give along the way somewhere lol. Before I give up tho, im going to look into +40s and see if pulling the tire in a little more is an option to stop rubbing. If not, then I will just either not lower the car or shave some fenders. Essentially, I am trying to avoid doing anything permanent to the car so I can always revert to stock and sell when I need to. I absolutely love my car, but I am using it as a learning experience / daily so I can pick up a different project car separate from a daily when I can actually afford to lol.

I run 245/40/18 on a 8'' wheel lowered on eibach sportline and rub some on really big bumps but nothing crazy.
Do u happen to know the offset on your setup?
