Congrats, I'm still waiting for mine .... *sigh*

You can check out the Tires, Wheels, & Suspension at https://acurazine.com/forums/motorsports-news-7/ , I found that the The Tire Selection/Wheel Size Master Guide is extremely informative.

Congrats! 19's look great with a drop, but no drop looks like a 4x4.

Heres mine with 18's and the A-spec suspension drop (approx 1 inch). I already wish I had went lower.

Congrats on the purchase and welcome.

Pictures of 19s


Congrats and welcome to the site. Once the Wheel Gallery is back up and running you should be able to take a look at what 19s look like on the TSX (just be patient with Xizor because he is being generous and hosting the site himself). In the meantime, I've provided a link to some pictures from our SoCal Irvine meet a few months ago. Check out vwong's car. He's got 19in. Volks on a super slammed car.

Dude, 20's look rediculous! I wouldn't consider going more than 1 inch over stock unless you are a rapper wanna-be. IMO

I agree, the max I would go is 18's. But some people prefer looks.

To each their own about the rim size. But since I am posting from So Cal, if you have anything smaller than 17s you're looked down upon
