18x8 +35mm offset, will they work?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Ch...Q5fAccessories
I just really like these wheels, but they seem to only off them in +35. I am lowered on s-techs. I need some input to whether or not these will stick outside of the fender. If its just a little, I can add some negative camber and I should be fine. As far as tires go.. 225-35-18. I think that should be optimal. Any suggestions? Thanks!

those are... interesting.
bright and shiny.
but really, really heavy I bet.
heavy rims make your car handle poorly.
anyway, yes, they will fit on a TSX.
would they fit on my TSX? no. I am lowered too much, I would rub like hell.
S-techs is not a huge drop, you're not tucking tires or anything.
I run 18x7.5 +48, and the 18x8 +35 will stick out 19mm further. 19mm is 3/4
of an inch basically, and therefore by measuring my car I can tell you that no,
they will not stick out past your fender. but yes, they will be flush with the outside
of it. I need to run a more conservative setup because my tires tuck a bit.
with an S-tech drop you should have at least a finger gap right? and then you
can run flush wheels usually.
225/40/18 would be the tire I would run on a 18x8 +35.
35 is too small of a sidewall, the tires would be too small overall and the ride
would also be harsh.

thank you thank you thank you! that exactly what i wanted to hear. Yes know the wheels are different but i really like them for some reason. Coming from a guy that loves volks, works, etc etc. I really like the 5 spoke design and I really wanted chrome.

well that is what is important.
it's your car and making it look and drive how you want is the name of the game.
as long as you are not slammed and have a little wheel gap,
you can get away with it, it's really pushing it though.
that's a very aggressive setup. there is a chance you will need
a bit of negative camber, but probably not too much if anything.
make sure of course to get an alignment after switching rims.
if you are worried about clearance and still want the tire to be smaller,
I would stretch a tad to a 215/40 before I'd try a 225/35, but in the best
case scenario and my clear choice is the 225/40.
they have a nice deep lip, and like I mentioned before are probably a bit heavy.
so when looking for tires, if there are a few brands/tires that are in consideration
with one another, look to the weight of the tire and try to pick a lighter weight one.
a good goal to have is to have the rim/tire combo not exceed 48-50lbs. per corner.
I think stock is somewhere around 46 if I remember right.

dude i am slam with zero wheel gap all around and im running a more aggressive wheel than you. same size 18*8 but with a 30 offset and 225/40 tires. the lower you go, the more camber youre going to get, please keep that in mind.
you should be fine with 225/40 but since you are not that low, you might need a camber kit. or maybe you could run 215/45/18 if you want to be safe, which im thinking of getting for my next setup.
