Tires are Kumho Ecsta ast 225/40/18
Rubbing was an issue in the front until I bent the plastic fenders under the metal tabs that held the plastic covered screws.

Warning: These rims protrude beyond the tire and leave no room for error when parking, curbing these would ruin them. I would'nt suggest these rims.

^thats why u should keep the OEM si wheels... they look sexy no matter what... and the ride is good in them... I have an 08 with the tire monitor and that the biggest reason why I rather stay with the stock ones...

Your wheel should never just turn to the right, regardless of whether or not you have 18's. Sounds like you need to have the car aligned.
