um 1/2 inch radius

Don't worry, 18" on your Si is fine. Compared to your stock 17" wheels an aftermarket 18" wheel should be negligible in terms of performance unless you are actually racing and taking hard numbers to compare. Durability is not an issue, we test for larger size wheels and with the safety factor you have no worries. What is most important is if you are happy with the looks, because you are not losing any performance from a standard drivers point of view.
