Does anyone know if a 18x8 with a +40 off set fit on an 04 TSX with 224/45/18 BF tires. I have a 1.25" drop on the car on a set of Tanabe springs.

 

that's close.
why the 45 sidewall? that's too high in my opinion.
I run a 40 sidewall on my 18's.

+40 is really pushing it, you will rub with an aggressive drop most likely.
you can roll your fenders, snap the clips, tuck the lining and whatnot
if you like.
1.25" doesn't sound like much to me, everyone seems to judge it different though.
If you can fit a finger or two between the tires and the bottom of the fenders,
you will be fine.
but if you are like me, and your tires tuck inside the fenders, then +40 is too low.
I run a +48 and only clear by a mm or two.
I run 225/40, anything bigger and I would probably rub.
I run 7.5 inch wide rims though, so for 8 inch wide I would run 225/40 or maybe 235/40.

 

Do you think I'm going to rub on the side walls or up top the fender well.
thanks for the feed back, anyone else have some helpful info.

 

whats up this site used to be great place to find out helpful info?

 

im running 18*8+30 with 225/40 tires and im way lower than you (no gap). i dont rub at all. like they say above, why the 45 series? you might be ok but thats not the correct size to run on your tsx. hope that helps.

 

 

Well thanks again guys. I actually just bought the rims and they don't rub at all. They look awesome and mesh well with the car. I'll post pics hopefully tomorrow.
