Wheel Size Question, will it fit without modification?

[1Si]

Hi All,

I'm planning of getting new wheels for my Si. I'm thinking of getting an 18x8.5 +35 but I don't want to have any rubbing issues. I'm currently lowered on Swift springs ( I think 1in drop all around). My main concern is I don't want to do any fender rolling or anything like that. Anyone here running this exact setup?

Also, I'm planning of getting either a Konig Ampliform or Enkei TSV, if anyone have those in the same fitment, pics would be awesome.


Thanks

Haha that's what I'm trying to avoid. Does it rub on all four corners or just on that fender tab area? And what's your wheel and tire setup?

And what's your wheel and tire setup?

from what ive seen yours will be just fine. ha mine is 255/50/16 with excessive fender roll and scrapes all four corners

18x8.5 ET+35 shod with 235/40R-18 tires should fit great

Here's a recent posting of this exact set-up:

Is this a +35 offset? Did you bend the fender tab or rolled fenders?

45 offset, no modifications to fender. Thinking about getting some 12mm or 15mm wheel spacers.

Oh nice, +45 is actually the other choice I have with the wheels I'm looking at. Do you happen to have a picture from above the fender that shows how far in it is? I know its not gonna poke out, but having it sit a little more flush to the fender than stock fitment would be great tho haha
