looks off imo, but thats just me.. i dont think i can drive with the tires that close to the fenders... i like to drive my cars aggressive at times, and that will definitly not let me do that haha.

Thanks for posting that. Are the spacers for a rubbing issue or to give a more aggressive look? My buddy has coils in his integra and they can be a PITA to set up at times. I don't remember seeing it but what brand of rims are they? I like that style.

Those rub, but if you can live with it that's cool.
You must have your fenders rolled if you're claiming it doesn't rub.

They will rub. Maybe if you choose a smallest tire like 235 or 225 they will fit with little or no rub.
Trust me, im lowered with TEINS, I have Enkei RPF1 18x8.5 30 offset and they rub like hell with those 245 tires, needed to roll the rear fenders.

The problem is not the wide of the rim, is the offset you use.

I choose 8.5 rim because I want the tire to be more wide that the rim, I like that look. But you can easy fit a 9.5 like this guy, the only thing is that you never gonna fit a wider tire. You need to look for the perfect wide , tire, offset combination.

If you want a look at my setup look here.

A 255 will fit a 9.5" wide rim as I had 255/40/18's on my previous car with 8" wide rims.

The thing you've got to worry about, for p00shy at least, is at 255 his sidewall is going to contact the fender. Good thinkin' on stretching those tires onto those rims bro, the angle of the sidewall is likely saving your ***.
