2005 tsx 18x8 +35 fitment?
Hey guys, looking at a set of wheels that are 18x8 with 35 offset. My suspension has some natural sag because it's still original. I plan on lowering it eventually but I still want it to look good AND fit well for the time being. Will these fit with stock height almost flush? I dont want it to look like a monster truck. Also I DO NOT want to do any fender work. So please help will they fit well? Also plan on going with BF goodrich g force comp-2 a/s (kinda beefy tire) should i go with a 245/45 or a 235/45? thanks so much in advance!

You'll likely need fender work for large bumps. And on stock suspension, it will look like a rollerskate.
The rears should be fine if you leave the camber natural (or correct it using a lower control arm kit).
But the fronts may rub on big bumps.
My reference is that I am using 17x8 +45 with 225/45/17. And I don't think there is 3/8" of front clearance remaining....and I doubt a 245mm tyre fits without rub. BUT...it might just barely fit.
Try it out though. You may be fine.
If you end up rubbing up front...
You can buy a low profile front UCA camber kit if they exist. I think maybe Skunk2 makes one. You'll need to replace upper ball joints pretty often. But...they're fairly inexpensive.
Don't buy extended/offset camber joints for the front, though (SPC, eibach, etc). There isn't enough room between the shock tower and UCA to house those type of joints.
