Default How wide is too wide on wheel sizing?

Bought a new Si with HFP suspension and exhaust. Looking into wheels but trying to figure out a good size. I want as close to an aggressive/concave look I can get without it looking retarded. I want SBC RPF1s, and the size I'm looking at are 18x8.5 and 9.5

Will the 9.5" be too wide without rolling the fenders or removing some camber? What would be a good size to recommend for the look I want?

Sorry, just now stepping out the 15-16" game, heh

9.5 would need fender work and camber to work, especially if you ever go lower...I'd go with 8.5 check out eighthcivic.com replace word w/ 8th cause h-t blocks all

9.5 on HFP suspension is going to stick out far...17x9 +35 with 235/40 is a good set up if you want to keep the HFP suspension.

I have a buddy with 17x9 +45 RPF1s he's going to let me test fit. I'd like 18s or maybe a thicker sidewall tire on the 17s to try and close the gap as much as possible.
