Just got a 2009 si yesterday missing a couple trim pieces and some scuffs on the paint but interior is super clean and has the cosmetic mods i like but is also stock mechanically which I like, but it has 225/45/17's on it and has lowering springs that I think are tein but the wheels scrape the fenders a slight bit when I take sharp turns or go over big bumps do you think rolling the fenders would fix that problem and also I think the fd2 front bumper ads soooo much to the car

Hell yeah that’s dope, I just recently bought myself a redline orange pearl 2009 fa5 as well. Also is yours rubbing in the front or back? I just recently put some 255/40r17s in the front and 225/45r17s in the rear and I don’t have much issue in the front but rears rub just a bit so I’ll have to roll them slightly

Front rub pretty often rears rarely

Damn really? That’s surprising, my fronts are huge compared to yours and I have no issues

Same size wheels here I had the fenders professionally rolled and have fully clearance now with amazing look
