Would i have a problem with a rim that is 18x7.5 and that is a +42 offset, would the wheels stick out too much? Rub? Thanks.

I have +45 and is fine. I do not know about the +42...

I have +42 offset... with Eibach Prokit.

225/40/18 Bridgestone potenzas.

No rubbing in front.
Some rubbing in rear. Had to gently roll edge of fender well with a crescent wrench. No problem now.

Also had to use a dremmel to remove small amount of plastic from rear lower fender thing above the mud flap right where it joins with the metal of the fender.

Isn't noticable at all if done carefully.

Now, NO RUBBING. Looks great. Fills wheel well wonderfully!

See sig for pics.

no problems here. in fact i think the +42 offset is perfect. comes out perfectly flush with the fender. NICE! did not have to roll fenders.

ELITE TYPE S

no rubbing here...i like the flush look as well...however my steering doesnt seem to be as responsive as before...feels kinda loose...should i get an alignment done?...anybody else experience this?

I got a +42 offset to 17X7.5 well it's not drop so no rubbing . I will tell you that there is one on the Acura TL board that is running MOMO rims 18" +42 offset with comptech srpings and he said there is no problem whatsoever....

I have Hagens with a +45 offset.........Soopa has SE7ENS with the same offset, and he said he has no problems. Also, our rims are 8 inches wide, I think you'll be fine.

GOT PSI?

Crazy Acura: +42 will not rub on the CL-S, but for the TL-S it's very close. Anything lower than H&R Race will prolly rub.

I have 18x7.5 42 offset for my Axis Se7ens with 225/40/18 and I am lowered with Ground Controls about 2.25f/1.75r and I shaved my rear fenders and I have to cut a good amount of the bumper lip...but I have no rubbing, the only time you would probably see rubbing wit yours is, after you tuck the rear fender lip alittle is when you have like 4 guys in the car and the cars goes up at steep driveway at an angle, where the body of the car torques in a weird way... but other than that, normal driving should be fine...

I had +40 offset in a 17x7.5. Discount tire bought back my wheels after 3 months of dealing with a terrible suspension resonance in the front. Correcting the offset to +50 eliminated the problem. It would be OK if ride and handling are not important.
