Finally pulled the trigger on some wheels after running stock rims with 25mm spacers. Work Emotion D9R 18x9.5 +23 on 255/35/18 Falken Pro G5 A/S
Lowered on D2 springs.

The fronts rarely rub but the rears rub like a beootch. I will be pulling my fenders tomorrow and will post an update on how it looks. Other than the rubbing issues in the rear (I was expecting them to) I’m so happy on how they look on the car !!

Rear fenders were rolled and pulled and now no more rubbing! Except for big bumps at higher speeds (Usually on the freeway)

Looks really good. I'm was thinking of getting an aggressive setup as welll. Looking at the Cosmis XT-206R 18x9.5 +10 and wondering if I could fit a meatier tire. I like how yours sits. I'm on Eibach springs. Would it not rub if you had put 245's instead of 255's or is rolling the fenders the only option?

+10 will definitely need a roll and you’ll probably need to run an even more stretched tire size to help prevent rubbing. If I went with a 235/40 on my 18x9.5 I wouldn’t have had to pull my fenders as much. I’m on D2 springs as well which dropped my car 2 inches all around. I don’t think Eibachs are as aggressive. You could do a 255/35 but you’ll definitely need a lot of fender pulling to fit it.

I had a couple wheels in mind and the D9R was also on my list. I wonder how much rolling I would do with the same 255/35. I think mine should be raised closer to an inch compared to the D2 springs.

Probably not as much as I had to but you'll definitely need to roll the fender lips.

Your car is one of the cleanest Si's I've ever seen. Quick question are your rims hard to keep clean cause they are white cause I think I want those same rim & tire package as you looks Hella clean!!!
