Foor those who have 18's can you plese post your offset. Our offset is really high so was wondering what you guys used when you went to 18's. Thanks.

 

Be great is you guys can post what type of rim, size and offset. Thanks.

 

Also, tire, tire size, do you have springs (i.e. car lowered 1 1/2" or so, and if so and rubbing? Actually it would be nice if we could get a list generated in the garage area? A thought..

If you can wade through the bickering, check out the <a href="http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001087.html">posting</a> from this past weekend. It might help a bit.

 

my whole point waas to not have to waddle through all that. just who ever has 18's, please post what you got.

 

This is an excerpt from the post referenced above

"In response to your original question... the offset of the stock wheels is 55. I put on some 18" BBS RK's (and 225/40/18 tires) with 42 offset and there are no problems with rubbing. I've heard 235's will rub. "

my Rims offset is 43 and check the Pics and the size from the SIG.

everything you're looking for is in my sig.

and no, i do not rub..
the tires before these were Toyo proxes 245/40/18, which are wider.. and they didn't rub either.

careful though... my car is a CL-P... and from what i hear, wheel offsets differ for Premium and type-s

my stock offset is 45mm.

bottom line is getting any 18" rim is okay... even 19"...
the thing you gotta watch is your width. certain widths require certain offsets. i recommend not going any thicker than 18x8.
my wheels are too thick...trust me. i kno. steering wheel gets jerky sometimes too.

just go for 18x7.5" with 225/40 tires with a variable offset of 40-50mm. (for Type-S, the closer you get to 50mm, the better. for CL-Premium owners, the closer you get to 40mm, the better. Good luck people).

The largest tire I could use was 225/40/18 with a 42mm offset wheel. Anything bigger rubbed. AND I needed shaved rear fenders.

But if you can find a wheel with a higher offset (as the previous post suggested), you can throw a bigger tire on. That's your best bet.

Problem is, not as many wheels are made with high offset. It's fairly uncommon among cars (except Acura) to have a low offset. (meaning you need a high offset wheel to compensate)
