Ok. So 225/40. Thanks. I have stock wheels and tires on. Just wanted clarification cuz I don’t want to roll or pull fenders. I don’t mind staying with 7.5 to be safe. Lol

I recently just got some parts and planning to put them all in the summer. Need some advice! I got 17x8 +45 rpf1 and yokohama s drives 235/40/17. Also got buddy club racing spec coils. It's my daily and I just want a functional set up that I can do some mild aggressive street driving (maybe autocross and track in the future). What do you guys recommend as far and drop and camber to achieve this goal? Thanks!
I have the EXACT same setup except Im running 225/45 and I’m wondering if I should have went with 235/40? I like the extra comfort of a higher side wall I noticed, and I just swapped the new with the old today so it’s fresh and I definitely feel the difference. But I have D2 Rs coils waiting to be installed as well for ONLY a slight drop/daily driving as my 2015 si coupe is my daily so can anyone help a novice with clearance/ rubbing with a 225/45/17 Michelin pilot sport? I’d like to cut the wheel gap as of now in half but I only just put the wheels on today the suspension will have to wait so I’m calling on everyone’s expertise!

Thank you!!! I’ve been a si guy since I started driving 7 years ago the Civic is all I know but this is my setup i just installed wheels and tires yesterday. I’ll have better pics posted today the - rear than front. Would like to cut this wheel gap in half I have D2 Rs coils but idk about clearance/ rubbing fender pulling etc. I’m new to the wheel game so im a little in the dark about this stuff

Hi guys, new to the forum world and this is my first time buying new wheels and tires. I have a 2012 si hfp that came with ugly winter beaters instead of the stock wheels. The springs in the hfp are only a 15mm drop, I'm looking at 17x8 or 8.5+35/38 and 225/40. Really don't wanna rub or modify my fenders but also don't want a huge gap. Anyone have suggestions or pics of a similar setup?

17x8 +35 with a 225/45/17 is a very functional setup.
A 40 series tire would be undersized

Username: Safe Gabe just posted his setup in the meaty fitment thread. He is using 255/40/17 front 225/45/17 rear
he did mention having the front fenders rolled though
safegabe had 255's on the front, but rolled his fenders

Yes, his specs on his mods are in his first post here
Black 2012 Si Sedan
UPDATE 3/29/2018: The car is being parted out and sold in stock form. If anyone ever needs any tech info or help setting up their car for track, you can always email me at safegabe@gmail.com since I will probably not be checking this forum all that much anymore once the car is sold. So this is...
