Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster!
I just bought a 2018 Si Rallye Red coupe and I'm looking for a new set of wheels. I was looking at two wheels:
Konig Ampliform: 18x9.5+45
FC04: 18x9+40
I've read a lot of the aggressive fitment posts on here, and it appears that the fitment is different across the hatch, sedan, and coupe. E.g. hatches are able to accomodate 18x9.5, while sedans and coupes may not, etc.
I really like the Konig Ampliform wheels (18x9.5+45), but the problem is, I'm not sure if they'll rub when lowered on Eibach Sportlines. The FC04's are a nice set too, at 9" wide and +40 offset. I like the concavity on these wheels, but you only get the concave face on the 9/9.5" width. For reference, I've attached photos of what the 8.5" and 9.5" Ampliforms look like. The 9.5 on the Type R has that concavity that I'm looking for.
I would be more comfortable going 8.5 wide (as I've read that it doesn't rub at all on even the most aggressive drops), but I'll lose the concavity with that size. I either want a nice concave set of wheels at 8.5 width, or try to find a way to fit a 9/9.5" wide wheel without rubbing, lowered on springs that can accomodate the wheel size.
Also, to note, I was looking to mount the stock 235/40/R18's, or move up to 245/40/R18.
I just want to know if I'll rub with either of the specs mentioned above. Any wheel/spring suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
