Yeah I slow down a ton leaving my driveway on stock ride height just because I'm that cautious
I only have good things to say about it. It'll keep you close to stock height but kill some wheel gap in return. I'd say go for it!

Anyone know if these will fit my 19 civic si, really like the look of these. 18x19.5 what mm offset do I need? I see some with 22, 35, and 43
idk about offset but the civic bolt pattern is 5x114.3 and those wheels say 5x100 so they won't fit unless you have an adapter or something

245/35 to give you a hint of stretch, and better chance at clearance even offer 235/40. Haven't tested 255/35 with that spec so I can't say 100% you'll have little to no rub
what wheel specs have you tested 255/35 with? i'm trying to decide between 18x8.5+35 , 18x9.5+40, and 18x9.5+30. also stuck between these 3 tires, 255/35 and 245/40 for each.

for lowering springs i'm thinking d2 or eibach sport, most likely with spc rear camber kit due to the drop. i'd appreciate any help

Very little rub after the fender tab mod.

Very nice setup! I was looking into getting the same wheels and the same tire size except with some eibach sportline springs. Do you have a rear camber kit or anything else to correct the alignment?

I know that my rims are not 8.5 wide, but hey the stance is really nice with that nice aggressive poke, and think it need s a spot in this thread.

That set up looks awesome! I'm looking for a set up exactly like that! I'm looking at some ARC AR1 17/8.5 35mm with some Continental Contiprocontact 215/55 R17. I'm running on a stock suspension as well n would love the same look with less poke. Would love some advice. I'm sort of new to this n just want to know if the set up i mention would look good on stock like yours? Anyone?

Does anyone know if 265/35r18 tires on a 18x9.5 +35 wheel on Skunk2 lowering springs on an Si coupe will rub? Also how much would the eibach sportline springs rub with a 265/35/r18 on a 18x9.5 +35 wheel?

+35mm is a little too aggressive of offset for that big of tire without some extra work. I wouldn't recommend the Sportlines, unless you are willing to roll your fenders completely flat, and run the natural negative camber all of the time. It might even require some front fender work as well. I am on Sportlines, with 18x9.5", 45mm with 265/35's and occasionally get a little rub on a tight turn with ruts or dips in the road. My rears are rolled completely flat, and I have most of the negative camber pulled out, (- .9%) with Godspeed adjustable camber arms. Eibach Pro Kit would be a little more forgiving.

100% rub. Try +45 or +42, and +38 if you're willing to roll your fenders slightly

How about 18x9.5 +38 with a 265/35r18 on skunk2 springs? They lower the car a little less than the sportlines do so that should be enough for me to run them without rolling the fenders, right? Iā€™m willing to do what it takes but Iā€™d prefer not to roll the fenders if I donā€™t have to.

255/35 would be a better fitting tire for that setup

It will still rub when the spring is compressed hard or carry more passengers. Safer with +45 or +42 or 255/35.
