Hello,

I am looking into purchasing a 2006-2008 CPO TSX and would upgrade the rims the day I purchase the car. I have a set of rims in mind and I would like to know if these rims would fit.

They are ASA GT1's, 18x8. Offset is 48mm, bolt pattern is 5-114 and the tire size is 215/45-18. Would these rims fit well, and also is that a "good" tire size, meaning overall quality and length of the tire. This car would be a daily driver and the rims would never come off, except if I buy snow tires for the winter.

Any help would be greatly appreciate, thanks.

Yes it'll fit fine but I think 225/40/18 is better for the tires.

^ I agree. I would go 225 or 235. Those are big rims in the weight dept though. I know it isn't much but they weigh 25lbs each, you could get lighter ones which help with gas mileage and what not but to each their own.

Thanks for the help guys. What's the difference between the "215"/45-18 when compared to the "220"/40-18 or "235"? Thanks.

I like the design of the rims and the price can't be beat, or at least I don't think so. Do you know of any similar designs that are comparable?

The difference between a 215/45/18 tire and a 225/40/18 is the width of the tire is different, as well as the sidewall height.

215 is ideal for a 7 inch width rim, where a 225 is better suited for a 7.5 inch or 8 inch width rim.

Thanks for the explanation.
