What offset do you guys think will work best with the TSX? 29, 35, 43, or 48? These are really cool rims.

Thinking about 19 x 8. How is the ride? Is it like stock? Does it rub?

My ride is bouncy i'm on Tein basics (which I should've went sport at least), rubs when i hit bumps but i'm not that low, My tires don't curve enough (Nitto 555s, 235/35/19). I'm thinking of going lower like vwong's.

Here's a pic of how high I am....

Maybe you should trim your bump-stops to lessen the bounce.

Thanks guys for the input. IM thinking about getting the 19 x 8 w/ the 48 offset. Dont no if the wife is going to let me get them tho. $700 a wheel. Maybe if I tell her that she can get it for me this Christmas and she doesnt have to get me anything for the next 5 Christmas? I have to come up with something. Those are bad ass wheels.

That's nice wheel but $$$$. I already order 19x8 TSW Volcano with 225/35/19 from Discount Tire C0. I told the guy that works there that I want 235/35/19 but they said that the wheel is 19x8 might be having trouble with rubbing. So They said that it is better to have 225/35/19 with 19x8.

I thought I read on the other list that you discovered your wheel wells were cracked up from severe rubbing and you were considering raising the car or machining the wheels to a higher offset. Are you saying the RSB reduced rubbing to the point where you're no longer considering those options?
