Pics of a-spec suspension with 19's?

Anyone have pics of a tsx with the a-spec package and 19 inch rims? I'm just curious what the wheel gap is. Thanks

The wheel gaps will be exactly the same regardless the size of the wheels, as long as the correct plus sizes tires are used. Basically, keeping the overall dia. as stock.

While the actual wheel gap remains the same, there is an optical illusion created anytime you decrease the sidewall that makes the gap appear larger. When you have like 3" of sidewall, a 2" gap appears large by comparison.

In order for 19" rims to look good, you need to drop the car right down so that there's no gap to speak of. Of coarse, now you won't be able to drive you car everywhere, but don't let that little detail stop you .
