im looking into these rims but not sure how the specs are

The wheels are Elbrus I06's in 18x8 +42, these wheels are discontinued. Overall I'd say wheels are 9/10 condition.
The tires are Continental ExtremeContact DW's in excellent condition. Staggered size (Front: 225/40/18) (Rear: 245/35/18)

Is the tires thick on these rims ?
what does staggered mean also?

thank you

Not sure what you mean by "thick". The front is stock width and the rear is 20mm wider than stock.

Staggered means the front and back are different widths, 225 vs 245. Typically people use "staggered" when talking about wheel offset differences front-to-back. But it sort of holds in this case as well.

They should fit.

I like the look too - a nice design.

No idea on that manufacturer though; never heard of them.

thick as in meaty.
profile to width ratio

with tires, you want to remain as close stock rolling diameter as possible.

thanks guys, so is this close to stock?
thick meaning i didnt want low profile tires, because of shitty city streets...

so will i be good buying these with stock suspension set up?

is there a way to check how these rims will look on a silver tsx?

what specs are stock tsx tires?

then input stock tsx tires into here:

both front and rear tires will be smaller than stock.
the speedometer will be off!

z643167z

it says
Diameter Variance:
-2.98% for the front tire...

does that mean these rims wont work for my car?

no no! the rims and tires will work!
its just that the overall diameter is less than the stock set.
which will make your speedometer off by a little.

no big deal.
Just know that when you're going 60mph, you're not really going 60mph..lol

haha when did all this get so complicated.... maybe i should just stick to stock... i dont want a crappy ride =/

You know you can get new tires put on, right?

Ones that are closer to stock diameter?

z643167z

how much would those tires run?

justnspace

thanks for your input guys, i think ill go with this set... only thing im hesitant about is how big of a gap between the fenders it will be with the tire....

the rear will have a larger gap, as advised by the tire calculator, it shows it will be 1 inch less than stock rolling diameter

use the tire calculator!! as it shows the difference between rolling diameters, how far off the speedometer will be, etc.
