17x7.5 axis reverbs - too small?

Do you guys think a 17x7.5 wheel is too small for the tsx? I was going to drop it on some h techs and tokico hps soon, and then put on Axis Reverbs in Gold.

They have them in gold in 18x8.5 with a 35 offset, will that fit with an h tech drop? It says on buywheelstoday.com that the size will fit..

I'm running 17x7.5j Sport Edition F7 Rims on our TSX with +50mm offset and 235-45-17 Potenza RE050A Pole-Position tires.

I think this is ideal as the 45 side wall allows you to keep the teeth chatter ride down to a min. And the extra width gives you the choice of some really superior tire selections.

I just bought 17x7.5 with a 35mm offset and I have a Tein H-tech drop. I will be putting 235/45 tires on them and I'm 100% confident it will be just fine.

I'm 100% positive it will rub and stick out well past the fender well.

I'm inclined to agree. I'm using TL wheels, which are 17x8 w/ 45 offset (with 235/45x17 tires). The drop is about 3/4" in the rear and 1" in front. They stick out a little and I can rub slightly in the back if the conditions are just right. Your wheels are a little narrower, but the offset difference will make the position comparable. Depending on your drop, you may rub.
