20x8.5 +38 Offset (Will it fit???)

Im looking to purchase some new rims for my ride and wondering if they will fit...

They will fit but you won't be able to drop more than an inch or so safely I'd say.

Please buy different wheels. If you think the TSX is slow now, it will feel like a 100hp 3 cylinder if you put 30lb+ 20's on it.

That's surely one expensive way to ruin the looks and performance of your car

Air Runners isn't going to help you're weight problems much either. The TSX is a heavy car to start off with, adding the weight of the wheels at each corner and the compressor, pneumatic shocks, and control modules for the suspension you're talking some serious weight gain.

If all you're going for is looks then feel free to get your 20s and air ride, just keep it classy

You also have to confirm that the centerbore is 64.1mm .

Personally, I would never add wheels over 19" to the TSX for all of the reasons mentioned above. I've seen 2-3 TSXs with 20" wheels on them and I thought they looked really cheesy. But whatever floats your boat, I guess...

please reconsider your wheel selection. In my opinion 20s dont belong on a small car like the TSX, they are just too big. These wheels are way too wide with a small offset. If you want your car to look good take your money buy some really nice 18s with at least a +40 offset and not much over 8 inch width. If you are going to get 8.5 inch wheels look for even a greater offset. After your wheels get some nice coilovers to drop it. You will be much happier in the long run.

don't do it. But if you're high on Cush or Haze, it might look good

i dont know why people are saying it wont looks good. just the other day i seen a white tsx with chrome 20's, it was crazy. the only problem is that you will prolly rub. i was going to get 19's or 20's but i went with 18's with 38 offset with a drop and i rub when i hit a big bump. no way will you be able 2 drop your car with 20's. get 19's with a drop. but its up to you. make sure you dont live in an area with alot of potholes and bumpy roads or you will regret you ever bought them. if you live in a decent area than just get them, and post mad pictures!
