I'd like to know what tire size you're using and if you had any rubbing issues.

Some people have run the Si in STX, but I don't think they frequent this board. However, I know they run the widest wheel the class allows (8.5" I believe) because the Si desperately needs it.
Otherwise there's always Street Mod or Street Prepared... Wheel sizes are unlimited there.
Rubbing won't be an issue if the springs are stiff enough to control the body roll and subsequently if the dampers are valved right to control those stiff springs. Thus a 245 or even a 275 could fit, but the wheels would stick out somewhat.
Ah... Thus begins the pains (or joys if you have lots of time and money) of competing in a class other than Stock. I faithfully played the "game" for 12 seasons with my other Civic... I am enjoying the sport more than ever now that I run the new Civic in Stock. I really only need to bolt on some R-comps and focus on driving. Enjoy!
