Axis Seven mod

Size: 19x8
Bolt Pattern: 5x100, 5x114.3
Offset: +35

I was aiming for 19 but if it will be hard for me to fit this then I guess i will have to go for 18. Thanks in advance. Does anybody have 19 on their tsx? Any advice?

Dan Martin

Offset is too low. Stock is +55 so try not to go any lower than +45.

There are lots of people running 19's and even a few running 20's. Check out the wheel gallery stickied at the top of this section.

thanks how about

Size: 18x7.5
bolt pattern: 5x100, 5x114.3
Offset: +42

Will these fit alright?
I'm a noob, can you tell me what "offset means" and will 18inch with 42 will be good for my stock suspention TSX???

Dan Martin

That should work fine. There are a number of members running that size. Go with 235/40/18 tires to complete the package.

Here's a good link to explain offset: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/...jsp?techid=101

There's quite a few people running 19s, and even a few 20s.

The offset has nothing to do with the diameter of the rim.

It does have a relationship with the width of the wheel though.

Stock is 7" 55 offset. The lower the offset number, the more the wheel will protrude away from the car. Go too low and it will stick out past the fender. Also, as the wheel gets wider, some of that extra width will stick out too. So, your first example, 8" 35 offset will stick out .5" due to the extra width, plus another 20mm because of the offset, for a total of about 1.25". And that would be true whether it was a 17", 18" or 19" rim.

If you got a rim like the RonJon for example, you'd be looking at 19" x 7.5, 50 offset, which would be perfect-only 1/2" more than stock, so it would be well within the fender of the car......

hahah thanks guys, I love axis mod wheels, i guess if i can't go with 19 since its offset off, then i will go with 18, i just have ONE more question, will 18inch with 42+ fit into my "stock" suspension setting? or do i need to adjust it to get these rims fitted???

18x7.5 with a +42 offset will fit perfect, however, with the stock susp you will have gappage.

Dan Martin

Nothing needs to be done, some people like to lower their cars when they go with bigger wheels so that it looks better.

yeah i'm just buying rims for now as well, i'm putting them up with a-spec suspension, so 19 won't be fitted??? there is no way???? i guess 18 is big enough... =/!!

laee3

how about ride quality??? when you choose to go with bigger rims

Dan Martin

You can run 19's, you just need to find the right offset. Look through the wheel gallery to see what works.

Dan Martin

It should be a little more firm but it's generally not that bad.

along those lines... could I run a 19x8.0 5x114.3 +43?

Dan Martin

I think that's the same size dzuy is running.

Alin10123

Yea, in a TSX the enlarged wheel size shouldn't be that bad.

TSX.Fury

dzuy that true?
