Im about to buy some Si wheels like my artist rendering shows (thanks Marnie, you kick ass). Does anybody have any idea what lug conversions run for? And will the tires already on the wheels fit on my car? Help me out here.

your speedometer will be wrong, and overall the tires will be bigger by almost 1.5". I don't know if that's enough to start rubbing. Probably not. It will cut down on wheelgap but this warning comes up too:
