Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread

If I went 18x9 +35 with 255/35 tires on Pro Kit springs, will I need a camber kit? This is for a hatchback if that matters.

haha It looks so good. I'm on coils right now and can't bring myself to go lower due to the roads where I live. I have been so tempted to go on air suspension and this makes me want to even more

Added a foglight cover tinted to match the paint. Ties things together, IMO.

Thanks! I haven't experienced any so far. The little mud flaps under the front bumper drag a bit when I enter the gravel parking lot at work, but I supposed I could just unbolt those. Driving over speed bumps and railroad tracks at low speed prevents any scrapping. No diagonal approach necessary for standard speed bumps. No other rubbing so far. Front camber is stock and rear camber is adjusted to eliminate rubbing.

EDIT: I do get rubbing in the front around the corner light. Slight front camber is neccessary to avoid this.

Nice wheel setup! Do you think you can get away with having a 245/40/18 tire on those 18x9 +35 RPF1s? I’m looking to do this setup on my 2020 FC1. Can’t got wrong with RPF1s, considering they are 17.1 LBs per wheel in a 18x9 +35 size. Again, nice wheel setup and good flow!

As the car sits, I'm pretty sure it will need additional negative camber to prevent rubbing if I went any wider. Currently the front camber is still stock, I did wear a spot on the inner fender because it really needs slight negative camber, probably removing the pins in the strut mounts would suffice. I didn't bother with this because the stock camber gave me the look I was going for. The rear camber is dialed in purely for looks. With the SPC rear camber arms, it's no big deal to adjust.

finally got new rubber. 245/40/18 Michelin PS4S. wheels 18x9.5 +38. had slight rubbing on front fender liner on big dips. heated it up and push the liner back a tiny amount and that took care of it. -1 camber up front -1.5 in the rear, still plenty of room. I'll try to take a profile pic of the car tomorrow.

I’m looking at getting my first set of wheels for my 2019 Civic Si. I’ve read a lot on this thread but I just want to double check. I’m looking at an 18x9.5 +35 on a 245/40/18... Will I rub at all? I am on stock suspension.

Mine rubbed slightly on dips with that setup

Were you on stock suspension? Where did it rub?

On stock front fenders by side markers. Folded tabs and it helped until I lowered ?

did the tab mod fix the issue 100% on stock suspension?

As far as I could tell. I didn't stay stock long enough after to see long term

Anyone running 18x9.5 +35 wrapped with either 255/35 or 245/40 on skunk2 springs?. I wanted to know if they will rub that much during a u-turn, full turn, normal driving, and dips/bump? My front fenders are lightly rolled and the rear are untouched (planning to lightly rolled them).

Thanks

Option '2'... for both questions. These are 245/40-18's on 18x9.5", 39mm. No issues with scrub radius, or any rubbing whatsoever, even over bumps at freeway speeds.

Love your setup brotha
