Rim/Tire Questionz!

Im looking to get an 18 inch gloss/hyper/black rim with a chrome lip 3/3.5 inch deep..anyone know of any sites that have that type of rim..not just a random site that sells rims..i want to pin point a rim like i mentioned. And where to find spacers for the TSX (bring the tire/rim further away from the car) so i can get wider rim/tires and custom fender flares..any and all help would be appreciated

Try iForged wheels or even HRE. Either can make any custom offset you want.

Good luck! 3/3.5" dish is extreme for a front wheel drive. My rims have about a 2-2 1/4" dish on them and they are about the deapest I have seen on a TSX. I would love to see that much lip tho. That's kinda like the rears on a new 350Z. Phat phat lip!

Or you can get the Racing Hart Pro J8 or J5. These wheels have some big lips, however the "face" (or the spokes) will NOT have the "deep dish" look to them. This is member 228's ride on 19" RH Pro J8.



If you do want big lip with "deep dish" look, the best bet is iForged or HRE. Or you can compromised and go with something else. My 19" Volk GT-7 has about 2" lip.

The RH's have a fake lip IMO. I think no matter what wheel you make, there's a limit to the offset you can have and you wont get a 3" lip, but try it out.

keyword, widebody, you need flared fenders like marinetsx to have rims that are wide enough for that, you need at least a 8.5" wide rim

Try Crow Automotive aka Russell Machinery for spacers. They are located in Gardena California. They will make billet adapters for you that are hubcentric. As long as you know the exact measurements you need there should be no problem. Good luck!
