I am new to the TSX, I just sold my 06 S/C TL for something a little more practical. Anyway i have just reading up for a while and really could find the answer. I have a set of 06 350z Touring 18" Wheels just laying around off my TL and wondered how well they would fit a TSX.
Specs:
F: 18x8 30mm Offset
R: 18X8.5 33mm Offset.

I know this is staggered and i know its stupid on a FWD car but i have them laying around so why not?! The tires i think are to big (but they are junk). F: 225/45/18 R: 245/45/18

Let me know what you think, i would have test fit them already but its way to hot!

Man the TSX forum is dead! I guess I'll have to joint another one to get info on this car!

Are you lowered? If not, they'll fit.

Marcus's HT-Spec TSX is running 255's in the back!

No its stock hight, i am leaving it stock other then wheels because i am driving it in the winter. i just didnt know if that offset would work.

It'll look stupid at stock height. Just saying. I had 18x8+40 and it looked cartoonish at stock height - like a 4x4. A 1 inch drop would tidy it up though.

That was my thought too but i have to drive this car in the winter so ground clearance is a must. Maybe ill just leave this one stock.
How would the offset work on this car though? They were flush or a little in on my TL.

I have 235 wide tires on mine and I stick out about 1/8" in the front and I'm flush in the rear with 1 degree of negative camber.

Same wheels and specs?! That wouldnt be bad at all.

No, mine are 18x8,+40 so you'd stick out a few more millimetres than me in the front and a bit more than that in the rear. It looks great once you lower it a bit but I couldn't recommend it at stock height to anyone - I don't have any pics to share because I was too embarrassed to take pictures of it before I lowered it. This coming from a guy who's never modded and isn't into cars that are dumped - I like them pretty stock.

There's a guy on the other TSX board with 18x8.5+30 at stock height and it looks like a clown car.

Right now they have the stock 350z tires which i know will be to big 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 but maybe ill test fit to check the flushness and if i like it ill get smaller tires. Thanks for all the help Supafamous!

any pics? I would love to see what a tsx would look like with staggered 350z wheels. I did it on my '03 maxima and it fit perfect with and eibach drop.

350z wheels are mad heavy.
