2014 with 255/50/19s on Fastwheels FC04 19x8.5
The tires are Michelin Premier LTX.....much smoother and quieter going over bumps vs. my ultra-quiet winter tires (Pirelli Winter Ice Zero)
wheels are 45 mm offset....I may add a 1/4" spacer to the rear if I get bored. I am happy with everything and glad I went to 255 instead of 245.

Thanks...you did help when I looked at your wheels which were gorgeous...I'm trying to get rid of this soccer Mom thing clouding up my head....it won't go away, since my nephew used that term just last week in referring to my ride, the little bugger....

Thx. I think that the RDX and MDX, are absolutely crying out for wider tires, or at least a different wheel offset, especially when viewed from a moderate distance on a highway while following behind...and its also evident when viewed at an angle (from behind) .. the OEM tires are just tucked in too far from the body and I think it looks like sh-t....a lot more so than almost all other SUVs/crossovers, whatever you wanna call them. Except the Beemers and Mercedes, they got the "stance" right. It is pretty clear to me that a 255 with a 45 mm offset is about as "stuck out" as you can go on the front without it looking bad...on the rear, since I have some negative camber going on, I could have got away with those tires "out" another 10 mm.
Oh BTW forget the 1/4" spacer idea, there would not be enough thread engagement on the lug nuts unless I used a special nut that eliminates that problem.

Yeah, most days I'm starting to just not wanna think and mess with wheels , offset and sizes on the RDX anymore, and just drive it as is. are the wheels still terrible? Sure, but I'm starting to no care Besides I have my play car to fart with, so I'm lossing interest in wheels for the RDX. Would be different if what I wanted came in stock, or the price of what I really want dropped.
Anyway, I think your car looks fine, yeah its not stanced out to optimal, but then again, it does not look modified either. Which I like, that's a tough thing to pull off. My other has a lot of mods, and does not look really modified, only to those that know.

Ha Ha, I know right? Crazy stuff happening in Toontown, On Tuesday the Building my wife works in was on lock down for package with suspicious white substance was delivered to the 14th floor. The Hazmat team and Fire responders deemed it was harmless, however this is happening more frequently. Each response to this is costing ~$20,000
