What the best tires for 18/7.5 offset 42
 
FTW! I just purchased some Works CR Kai 18/ 7.5 with +42 offset. I wanted a nice look I already droped it with H&R springs .. What size tires would make it look the best...???

wong05tsx 07-15-2011 04:14 PM

H&R drop is minimal I think so there is still quite a bit of gap I presume

Regardless, I'd go 215/40 on a 7.5... if you're slammed, 205. A 225 would be more 'standard' but IMO it loosk too beefy on a 7.5

What do you mean it's to beefy!?!?

RMEuro_R 07-15-2011 06:34 PM

These size tires would be way too small (short). The wheels are too wide and the car would look pretty dumb (as well as perform pretty poorly). I would suggest sticking with one of the plus 1 sizes. Ideally, you'd want the 215/45x18 size. 235/40x18 is an option, but 7.5" is a little narrow for the them, and with the 42 offset, they'd stick out a bit. And, if you're dropped more than just a little, you might rub occasionally with the 235's. But either of these would allow the same size tire as OE (diameter) and they should look good too.

Do 225/45 or 40. They'll be fine. I had 225/40 18 on my Volks SE37a's that were 18x7.5 +40 offset. Stock tsx rims are 17x7 so .5 more rim width can and will def be able to handle 10mm wider tires.

So what would be the best size? Going today to buy tires

I recommend 225/40/R18 as well.

What im running right now on 18x7.5 +42 Work vs-xx

vtboi4sho 11-01-2011 03:06 PM

225/40/18 would be best IMO

You could also do 215/45 but 225/40 is the most common for a 7.5" rim - that's Acura's recommendation as well.

225 on 7.5 is not beefy. So you could go with:
225/40R18
225/45R18
215/45R18

With 225/45R18 speedo reads exactly as GPS and the gap between the fender and the tire would be the smallest.
Here's the pic of how it looks with 225/45R18 with Eibach prokit springs:

also lower profile tire = more pressure to your suspension parts
