Low offset (+40) is ok for TSX
with 7.5" width, +40 offset is still good. Already 2 weeks, and had 2 passengers at the back once, no rubbing. Wheel doesn't stick out. May be the front tho... it sticks out like 2 or 3 mm. But in general, it looks good.

The 3rd one may look sticking out a bit. Actually it doesn't, the picture was taken at an angle as you can tell, b/c I want to get a shot on the front wheel only.

yeah... lol, they are still TE37. I thought u guys want pictures on the +40 offset
LE28N is coming end of this week according to the pos dealer whom I bought the wheels from. And it is a +43 offset =)
I am not planning to lower my car tho... Last time I lowered the car, and it has been a nightmare. It was an accord lowered with neuspeed spring, tokico shocks, and also front and rear neuspeed sway bars. 1st 1.5 year was fine... after that, noise started coming from the suspension esp. the sway bar bushing. It is fun to lower a car, but bitch to maintain imo. (just like a gf lol) So... no more suspension mod for me hee... Only things I would do now on any future car are: ground wire, voltage stablizer, light weight wheels, K&N drop in filter... that's it =)
I really recommend ground wire on TSX. You can measure ur TSX before you do it. For mine, I read 0.07 on the meter!!!! (less than 0.02 is considered good). Acura really did a poor job on the TSX. I measured 0.01 and 0.02 on RSX tho...
