Will those fit in my car?
yup... you can run those till they fall off hehehe... ur good to go...

BUT

reconsider your tire choice... 235/40-18 or 245/40-18 are ideal

I got a rim fitment question for ya..

2005 TL 5AT
Stock braking system

Will......

19x8.5 +35 225/35/19
19x9.5 +30 275/30/19

fit? I don't mind rubbing right now, I'm not going to drop it to the point where it will rub because i'm pretty sure a series 275 tire with width 9.5 will rub; I just want to know if that'll clear the stock brakes, spokes seem to be pretty straight to the lip, with a tiny bit of a curve

That front will be perfect, but that rear will stick out way passed the fenders

Ok I have a rim fitment question also. I have been researching it and I think it is close/tight fit.

The fronts are
19x8.5 +38

and the backs are
19x9.5 +42

I believe the fronts will be ok but I am unsure of the rears.

These are volk sf-winning wheels. Anyways if they do fit I will be purchasing them I believe.

Looks like they missed a couple of the plugs or left something unplugged, where are you located? there are usually aziners ready and willing to help out on wiring problems

the type s tails are pretty bright, you should have someone hit the brake and stand back about 20 feet, they are infact really bright, the only led which you can swap out is the turn signal... hope this helps

I am very familiar with that wheel as I looked at it for a few days just thinking damn that price for that 18x9 is friggin awesome

FITMENT: YES... since you do not have brembos they will fit perfect

Tires to be considered
235/40-18 (factory spec fits, but it will not provide lip protection)
245/40-18 (My current setup on an 18x9 wheel)
255/40-18 (what I consider to be a good fit)

04 tl auto

Just purchased TSW 20x8.5 +40 offset chrome rims and already mounted them. See here:
http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...ro-Chrome.html

Now car feels like it's draging a**. Is there some kind of adjustment needs to me made? Everything fits perfect. Looks great.

Please help as I have to drive it 150mi. on Saturday. Wanna get this taken care of.

what tires did you throw on?

also keep in mind that 20" wheels get up there in weight... I wouldn't be surprised if those wheels weighed in at 40lbs a pop... I'd say they weight in at 35lbs each... lastly keep in mind that you may also just be feeling that lag for now because you have not come accustomed to it... rolling big has its down sides

You're positive? So if I run 225 series tire on a 9.5 width with a 30 offset will it rub?

if you roll the fenders and negative camber it will not rub... but your lip will be a couple mm off the ground... so the hardest bump would bend/crack or both that wheel

Like a NOOB that I'm, I ask you this question on another post and didn't realize you have an official post setup.

Year: 2007
Trim: Type S
Color: WDP
Item you would like fitment verified: Need your expertise on TSW Mondello 18x8 wheels... can they fit with the BBK? If so, what offset do you recommend?? Do you recommend stepping up to 19s and will 19s make a signifcant difference in ride comfort/performance?

Sorry for the multiple questions within a question..hehe.

Thanks a lot!!

You got it... The diameter difference between 245/40-18 and 255/35-19 when compared to each other is minimal

Pm me when you do it... Def wanna see this

Where are you getting these g35/350z/rx7/(fitted rwd) offsets from

Unless you are stock height and never put anything in the trunk, never go into turns, and want to look like an isuzu rodeo go for it, but in all reality it does not fit... Even if you wrap 225/30-20 NO GO

Ps. Writing "lol" atleast tells me ur half serious

Tsw sadly has like 1 maybe 2 wheels that fit without requiring a +30 or +32 offset... Soooo in that particular wheel you"d have to get something like a +35 or +37 and run a 5mm spacer if +30 or +32 are not available....
For spacers I called Fred @ wheeladapter.com

Do you recommend stepping up to 19s and will 19s make a signifcant difference in ride comfort/performance?

Sorry for the multiple questions within a question..hehe.

Thanks a lot!!
19" in my opinion are purely for looks, no matter if you are running a 255 wide tire, they simply rob from the ride quality and sportyness of our cars...

I have a 2004 NBP Auto/Navi/ A-spec

Fitment I would like verified:
What size are the OEM 03-05 Accord foglights? I want to do the grill mod but I dont want to spend the $350 for the OEM Accord fogs. I also don't want to put the cheap Ebay junk lights down there either so I figure I would buy the fog kit off Ebay, keep the shrouds and wiring, and swap the cheap lenses for some nicer(at least glass covered) ones instead.

Fitment I would like verified:
What size are the OEM 03-05 Accord foglights? I want to do the grill mod but I dont want to spend the $350 for the OEM Accord fogs. I also don't want to put the cheap Ebay junk lights down there either so I figure I would buy the fog kit off Ebay, keep the shrouds and wiring, and swap the cheap lenses for some nicer(at least glass covered) ones instead.

sorry but I've never done this mod on any members car... you'd have to ask one of the many guys who has and see what they come up with

you are supposed to be running 245/30-20...
Speedometer: 56.7 mph 94.6 km/h (WHEN IT SHOULD BE READING 60MPH)
Speedometer Difference: 5.646% too slow
Diameter Difference: 5.35% <- BAD
I changed it all to 35psi. 245/35ZR20 is not rubbing. any other reason to use 30 over 35? I already have 4 tires

Just thought I would help ya out, Seems like this thread is very informational, helping alot of people, and keepin you busy!!

But MinDawg, MPH stands for Miles Per Hour, speed in which your car travels, running a 35 series as Stillhere stated will show your speedometer to be off.

For example when you are actually traveling at 60 Miles Per Hour, and you have 245/35/20 your speedometer will show a speed of 56.7 Miles Per Hour. But if you have 245/30/20 then your speedometer will show 58.9 Miles Per Hour.

You also need to know that the added weight, places strain on braking as well, your braking distance required is increased as well.

Also it is recommended that your overall Tire diameter not be more than 3% than OEM (originally Equipped by manufacturer). Running 245/35/20 is placing your overall diameter at 5.35% more than OEM, but if you have 245/30/20 the overall diameter will only be 1.79%.

LOL...I did know what MPH is...

Everything else did help a lot. How big of a deal is this? should I sell my 35s and get 30s? I did get better rotors from exelerated - slotted/drilled with all new ceramic pads.
Thanks for all answers.
