Offset on rims
#5
man, there are too many factors to consider when worrying about rubbing. i also have this question..
i have a 2.5 TL, what offset can i get in order to not rub:
18x8 = offset?
18x7.5 = offset?
18x7 = offset?

'02 TL-S ,+45 ET, 18x8's. Moderate trimming of the rear plastic no rubbing with a full load. Also dropped w/ Eibach ProKit.
+48 ET should be fine. It also depends on what size tire you are running. You should be good with 225's and maybe 235's (what I have). Just be prepared to trim the tab and some of the rear wheel well.

uhh
i would not suggest a 48 offset without test fitting. The break caliper and the wheel will have little to no clearance. Yes the factory wheel is 50mm offset, but doesnt the factory wheel come only on acura tl's? Yes, the wheel is MADE for the car. Id suggest a 42-45 MAX offset wheel. I run a 225 35 19 with a 44 offset. 19x7.5 and the car is lowered over 4 inches. NO RUBBING unless the back is dropped all the way and i have 2 girls in the back over 110 each.
Then it rubs going over bumps in a corner or entrance ramps to the freeway ballin too fast. Car handles like a btcc touring car as well, destroys my integra sedan with over 4500 dollars in suspension alone. I think its the wheelbase
