18x7 +42 question

I got my hands on ROJA Formula 7 18x7" ET+42 wheels. Would these wheels fit on my tsx without any issue? Would they stick out from the fender? I want it to be a perfect fitment without any rubbing issue. My car will also be going to be dropped with H&R and Konis.

Also, if someone has ROJA wheels, does the oem TPMS fit on the wheels? Any comments will be appreciated.

I think they should work just fine. They should sit almost flush with the fenders. I'm running a 18x7 with a 45mm offest on Koni's and Neuspeed Sports and I have no rubbing issues. You may get an occansional rub on the fender liner tab if anything.

I agree, you should be fine and I would jump on them. I am on 18x8's with +45mm offset, my wheels are pretty much flush with the front fender.

it depends on what size your tires are, 225 40 18? i was running 18*8 with 38 offset with 225 45 18 tires with a 1.7" drop and i rubbed alot.

^^^^^^ i think it's cuz you have 8inch width in addition to 38 offset. I think i'm going with 215 size tire cuz 7 inch width is too narrow for 225 width tires. Thanks for the help guys!

It's not depends on tires. The reason why you rubbed alot is you have a 18X8 rims w/ a low 38 offset; and your 225/45/18 helps to rub too due to the high sidewall.

I'm running 18X8 +45offset w/ 225/40/18 + a 2.5" drop (1 finger gap all around); and never rub.

For OP, don't worry about your rims and tires, for 18X7+42 and 225/40/18 tires, even w/ 3" drop you will NEVER see rub. GL on your rims.

I'd go with a 225/40. A 215/45 is too tall for my tastes.
