well, im not planning to lower my car, (i know its worth it) but :S
what options do i have on rims sizes and tires, without looking crazy with a big gap>

i heard if i do not drop , its better for me to get bigger rims? it this correct,
what rim size and tire size would you guys suggest.

thanks all.

Your car will look like a 4x4 if you get bigger wheels and no drop.

Stick with 17s if you are not going to lower it. I have RonJons in 17s and it doesn't look too bad. I didn't lower my car, either.

Yea you don't want 22's or anything stupid like that on your car. You could go up to 18's but I would suggest against anything bigger than that, even if you end up lowering your car. Any tire with a profile lower than 40 looks bad, rides badly, and is bad for your performance. You don't want big ugly wheels on an otherwise clean looking car.

I don't know who told you bigger wheels are better, but they are mistaken. Smaller and lighter wheels are better in almost every apect.

If you want bigger wheels because you like the look, nobody can argue with you. Get what you think looks good and enjoy it.

17" is ok if you are really low, otherwise get 18", and tire size 225/40/18 is good

ok guys, just an update,,
i got TL A-spec sparkle SIlver rims. 18x8 offset 45.
now i just gotta lower the car and get tires....:S (THINK OTHERWISE IT'LL LOOK WEIRD??)

I think for lowering im gonna go for a-spec. cause otherwise it'll be too low and i'd rub!
tires might be 225/40/18 ,

You won't rub with 18x8 +45, I had the same wheel size before lowered with 1 finger gap and I never rubbed.

IMO A-Spec suspension doesn't lower the car enough.

That rim setup is a safe size to lower it more. I agree with icemiko that ASPEC doesn't drop it enough for the money, save a bit more and get a nice coilover setup which you can put to what height you want, that's what I think you should do but your call. That tire size will be a-ok too.

ok,
im a noob at lowering cars. never lowered any of my cars in the past.

if i get something like
this (click me)

is that it. or do i need something else... i believe it would already have camber adjustment?

With Tein Basics, getting the front camber aligned within factory spec shouldn't be a problem. The rears however have limited camber. There are aftermarket rear camber kits that help bring the rears back to factory spec.

Apec will improve handling, no doubt, but it leaves a bit to be desired on looks.

You just need a rear camber kit for sure, front you can get away with.

when i dropped my 07 tsx on skunk 2 lowering springs my camber went in like a bmw im glad now even though the inner part of my rear tires will wear faster i really dont care because the more i turn the more grip i get. unfortunately i convinced myself before i got my new rims to get my camber back to normal. when i put on 18 inch rims on, my right rear side would rub. it was either a fender roll (sketchy) or take out the camber kit. classic case of stupidity so i just took out the camber kit.
