Post your aftermarket wheel/tire set up

[Matthyahuw]

Yes rubbing on aggressive cornering. I ended up having my fenders shaved a couple mm instead of rolling as well as filed down the side marker. If you are not driving the car aggressively then you will be fine.

wondering if an offset of 45 would be any different then???
it's not much, but if a slight shave of the fender helped, then another 5mm would help then too, eh?

45mm you should be fine. If I could do it all over again I would go with a 255/35.

@gtman I think you can get away with a clean looking setup without lowering. 17's (which i run) look "off" at stock height, so 18's at +45 are your best bet. Not sure how wide you want to go or the style for that matter but 9" (imo) gives you more room to have a bigger tire to fit the wheel gap w/o having to go so tall. Not to mention more contact patch with a 9" wheel able to hold a wider tire. 255/35's are squared with 9" wheels and a side wall of 3.5"... 255/40's will have a side wall of 4.01". The overall diameter of an SI's stock setup is 645mm and with the 255/40's 18x9 +45 your overall diameter is 661mm. Since you have the non SI and is slightly higher, the extra 16mm might look more like a sporty conservative OEM. I think its mostly in the wheel selection to help dictate the size tire and look you want to achieve.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!
Any rubbing for either of you guys?
@SCcanyoncrvr , what's your offset?
And @Tkay , what's that fake vent mod thing you have going???

They’re functional bumper vents from Top1 motors. There isn’t much rubbing unless I take corners hard or hit big dips. I think I’ll be rolling the back fenders later.

255 35 on a 9.5 rim is golden. No rubbing what so ever. Only lowered on d2 springs though so not sure if you are lower than that

Does Sport Mode for the engine/steering still work?

Only for the engine it works! I just have a leaky CV boot so prob gonna get that replaced ://

Looks good. I know most people say 17's look too small but the benefits of smaller/lighter are pretty big.

Yep. Those wheels are around 17 lbs each. OP will notice an improved acceleration and slightly more NVH. The combo looks great on the Si. Ahh.. . the CTR seats bolted right on, just as I thought before.

that is correct, I get a lot of hate 1 because they are rpf1, and two because of the size,
