Congrats on the purchase, but you're crazy for replacing your e46 ZHP with a TSX

You are going to like the improved reliability of the TSX much better than your 3 Series.

Congrats on your new TSX.

Clean E46

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's going from a E46 to a TSX.

Now I just need to sell my E46...

I thought the Delta Hotel looked familiar! Very nice shots, love the ones in the trees. Where did you take those?

As far as the wheels go, I'm pretty sure I've seen 20's on a TSX with little to no suspension modifications. It also depends on what, if any plans you have for lowering the car. Personally, on our roads, I'd keep a little more rubber on the tire with a higher profile and not go any larger than 19".

Then again, what year TSX are you looking at? I'm fairly sure the 09's can take a larger wheel than the gen 1 models.

yeah, 20's are the max really.
you could go bigger, but that's not the best idea.
some parts are interchangable between the Euro and the TSX.
depends on what it is.

Whoops, didn't notice the year on the OP.

As M said, 20's max. There used to be a guy running around in my area with a PWP with what looked like 20's. Just a little too big for my liking, a little too blingy (they were highly polished though).

I'd much prefer more sidewall for cornering and less chance of denting the wheels.

Conrats on the decision to get a TSX. It's a good car, that is very reliable. You mentioned that you were selling your E46. Do you have a link to the posting?

19's with a 35 profile and coilovers would be a great setup. Good luck on your hunt. Let us know what you decide to go with, and as always.....pics!
