I'm looking at picking up some 19's, probably 19 by 8's. Who knows the right offset? What about running 19 by 8.5's. I'm slightly dropped. (Got the Comptech springs).

 

19x8.5 won't fit..
19x8 need an offset of at least +45

 

Thanks for the help. Ok, 19x8, +45. Is that optimum offset? What about +50? +40? I've been checking out pics of 19's on TL's, but offset usually isn't listed.

 

The higher the offset, the better.

 

Does a higher offset move the lip outward? Would a +50 offset, for example have a higher or lower chance of hitting the outer edge of my wheel well?

 

the factory offset is a +55. the higer the offset the further in it mofes the rim inside the wheelwell. the lower the offset the further it pushes it out. with a 8" i would recomend trying to find the highest offset possible (+47,50,55 ect...)

this site shows wheel offset http://wheeltool.com/info/offset.html

 

19x8 +50 is the optimal offset. End of discussion.

 

^ he would know best

 

I have 18x8 with 50+ and H&R Sport drop, no rubbing issues. Go with 50+ offset or above

 

do 20x8 excisit???

 

no 20's!! not on a TL. 19's are pushing it...20's give it more ground clearance then my MDX!

 

Not true statement I have 20 on my acura and it didn't lift it that much matter fact i am dropped on H&R OE Springs. I will post pics if you would like to see. I am tired of people saying not do 20's, yes some 20's don't fit right but there are now new 20's out there that are 20x7.5 with a 42 offset or even higher you just have to research, there is a couple of companys out there with that offset. I have X20 Tricks, I believe TIS makes a 20x7.5. You will have to run 225/35/r20 they are made by Nitto thats what i have. Hope that clears up what people say about 20's on a acura. No rubbing at all once i cut the tab.

 

can u send me the pics of your car???elvin003@bellsouth.net

 

I'm gonna post pictures as soon as I get my new rims. I just bent one of my rims this past weekend.

 

Damn that sucks....i got some 20s on my tl now but there rubbing a lil too much so imma have to sell mine and get some new ones those 20x7.5 fit perfectly???

 

Okay guys, NSXNEXT says that 19 by 8 with a +50 offset is best. The guys at Eurosport are telling me the I should buy their 19 by 8 with a +45 offset. HELP?!

 

hey lx4life, i saw you had 20's on your tl, can u email me some pics please wickedstylez420@yahoo.com

 

nsxnext is right that would be best but its very hard to find that offset you can work with 45 offset like i have now.
