Need a second opinion on these wheels, Work Gnosis GS1s been looking at these for awhile now what do you think?? I will be getting them in 19x8 +45 offset i know this is the ideal offset for these wheels, but can i get away with something a little more agressive like a +40 or +42 offset without any rubbing issues, also would be great if there are owners out there with WORK wheels on there cars already your opinion and help would be much appreciated Thanks

Here is a picture of the wheel

I've always hated wheels that are so big you have to wrap them in rubber bands. I think 18's look good on a TSX but 19's are too big and misfitting. 'Course, it's not what we think of your car that matters, it's what you think.
Your offset should be fine as long as it's 40 or higher I think. 8 inch wheels aren't too wide so wrap them in 225 tires and you'll be fine.

 

What offset will work depends a lot on how much (if any) drop you're planning on. If you're going for the slammed look, stick with +45. If you're going to drop 2" or less, +42 is probably fine, though that's just a guesstimate on my part.
