Ben, you are correct sir.
A 9 +35 would no doubt be about 1/2" to 1" inside the coilover spring hahaha. there's no way they'd fit. you'd need at least a 15mm spacer.
and look, a lot of people confuse ROLLING with PULLING. ROLLING is when you very softly bend the lip of the fender upwards in order to fit a more aggresive, and wide wheel. It does not damage paint, the fender, etc. NOR does it tarnish the value of the car. (99% of people wouldn't notice anyways)
A PULL is when you FLARE the fender using a baseball bat, jack handle etc. THIS is bad for the metal, and is usually irreparable.

And I know the difference between rolling and pulling, hence why I want a flush wheel that will require a roll and not rub(or minor rubbing) and I want to avoid pulling as I said in my post.
I don't really like the look of a non-concave rpf1 up front and a concave one in the back, but if I need to do too much modding to my fenders I will probably settle for an 8 +30 up front.
@Ma7daPOW3R, when I first bought my '7 I felt the same way. My stock radio worked but the screen didn't and the speakers were blown so they had to be replaced. But when I still had everything stock I loved listening to the classic rock station while driving at night with the windows down, aha. Made me feel what it would be like in the 80's. All my interior lights work great as well, and my clock!
I also like the 2nd shot in the parking garage.

Next time just install extra bumps stops to raise it a few inches. Slice down one side so you can slip it over the strut "rod" without dis-assembly. I've used that trick before getting on and off trailers. Then just remove them afterwords.

One of the only pics I've taken since the coil install. Can't even fit your fingers in that gap, yet without that flare both in back and up front, no way they'd fit without jacking it up like a truck. Yet it looks good, better even IMO, and wasn't done with a baseball bat like the Honda kiddies.
Also what hate? Who's hating? There's no hate; I'm telling it like it is. I simply corrected what I felt was a completely wrong statement, rolling and flaring is a completely viable and sometimes needed option.
