As always, get a fitment guarantee. You have 15mm more clearance on these wheels from the suspension, toward the fenderwell than stock. The 15mm should clear the calipers, but "should" is the operative word, hence the requirement for a guarantee....also note their caution on big brakes.
You should also find out the bore size and get a set of hubcentric rings for the 64.1 mm Honda bore, because they are only hubcentric with the listed BMW models....
Also, make sure they are TPMS compatible, and that you install those units or you will be driven nuts by the error messages.
Finally, make sure you get compatible lug nuts, as the seats are more than likely to be 60 degree conical and not Honda flat or ball seat, and consider locks as necessary.

Those will fit OK. You will NO need spacers and NO Hub centering rings if the hub is 64.1mm. Please s
I went with Staggered set up BMW 102 and im presenting little vibration, The vibration not on steering wheel, but at the wheels. Feels like an Arms tensioner is loose or it can be the awd ystem since im riding rear 19x9.5 and not 19x8.5 like the front wheels.

I have not checked it out, but for 19", the ideal size is 245/40-19. It may not be a deal killer, but worth checking the load rating on the 235/35-19 in comparison to the 245/45-19. which are already carry less load than the original 245/50-17 tires.
It was just an idle thought...would love to hear what you find for the rest of us...

Chas, thnaks for the info. there is a lot of subjects when it comes to buying a tire for what i have seen. After buying a new set 245/35/19 of front tires last thursday , today I already ordered a new set of 235/35/19. Tires are arriving on Wednesday afternoon. Will see... how this ends.

Just installed the front tires today and as soon i got them on, I went for the parkway garden to revs Up the RL. The Tires size combinations
( Front 235/35/19 and Rear 275/30/19 ) paid off.
My car feels so much alive and runs way better, almost same feeling as running stocks wheels 17". I said this because low profile tires + big rims you feel the road way to much.
With this new tires set up You hit the pedal and car responds quickly. Went up to 80mph and didnt feel the vibrations on wheels as running 245/35/19.
I think and believe you can run staggered rims with the condition that maintain an Overall Diameter matched or 0.1% differrence + Rear wheels always running spedometer 0.1% SLOWER than Front Wheels.
By doing this, the AWD system will revs up rear wheels ( as supposed to )and NOT the Rear wheels running faster than the front wheels.
That was my problem, me running Front tires 245/35/19 making my Rear tires 275/30/19 to run 1% faster.
Hope this information help to anyone who is thinking running staggered wheels set up.
