That's why it's important to do your homework before you drop you hard earned cash on rims. Again -- if you read the first post, it's very hard to find a 20" setup for our cars that work without rubbing issues. It's been done (to varying degrees of success) but not many manufacturers will do it for our very small niche market. Most people go 19", tops.
Good luck.

Only one way to find out!

Has anyone tried 225/50/17's on their type S rims?
I'm thinking about putting a set of these on the rear.
I'm lowered on Tein H-tech springs. Any idea if these are too wide?

OEM Type-S rims are 6.5" wide. 225/50/17 should be mounted on 6-8" rims. You should be OK. (Your speedo will be slower by 1.5% but that's within acceptable limits)

hopefully someone can answer this question as acurately as possible, as I'm contemplating purchasing some new rims ASAP for the summer months
however, after reading through this post I'm worried that the ones I've picked out might not fit.
these are what i want.

just incase the link doesnt work, they are these ones
anyways, I'd prefer not to roll my fender in, however if i do then so be it. I'll be running TEIN SS lowering springs and I'd like to be rolling on 18's or 19's.. will these fit? and what type of tire/size should i run?
19" 8.5" ET45 Black 5-114.3mm
18" 8" ET45 Black 5-114.3mm
thanks for the input and feel free to give your opinion.. the car is firepepper red..

Sorry -- but I wouldn't advise this setup. Either a thinner rim and/or a higher offset.
Cheers.

You mean these...
Diameter: 16" X 7
Bolt Pattern: 5-114.3
Offset: 40mm
+40 is a bit low, but you may be able to squeeze by given these are only 7" widths. My personal opinion would be to pass on these. They're

Will Motegi FF7's fit properly on my car? I know the offset is the bare minimal, but will I have any rubbing issues riding on stock height/springs and stock tires?
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - Will they stick out (looking ugly like 3rd gen TL wheels on a 2nd gen)?
Rim Diameter (in): 16 in.
Rim Width (in): 7.00 in.
Backspacing (in): 5.500 in.
Offset (mm): +42.00mm

17X7, 5x114.5 and +45 offset. from a 2006 Civic SI... will these stockers fit? 215/45VR-17 would be on them. I'd be putting them on a 2000 TLP.
Thanks,

If you had the 16" rims (205/60/16), you need something closer to 215/50/17 or 225/45/17. 215/45/17 ... forget it ( > 4% difference in circumference to stock). It might mess up the ABS system ... just buy the rims if you want them.

It'll fit (just barely)... but if you lower too much ... it'll rub. TIres: go with 225/40/18 to minimize rubbing potential.

19x8.5's
I'f I ran some some 19x8.5s on a 225/35/ZR19 ON stock suspension, could I make these fit without rolling the fenders? I wouldnt mind rolling them because the rims are sick but arent made in 8" wide rim. I would have no problem with minor cutts to the tabs or whatever, But I'm pretty sure they would fit with them rolled withought rubbing. Whats the verdict? Has anyone done this? Thanks guys, bought to graduate from TTU and get a sick job so its time to shine!

Hi derrick. I see in your sig that you have 235/40 18 on your wheels. What is the offset on your wheels? I'm trying to figure out if that same tire size is going to rub on a 18" x 7.5" with a +45 offset. My car will be lowered on H&R sports -1.75F/-1.5R
Thanks!

How about 18x7.5 with 40mm and 225 / 40 / 18 tires and NOT lowered. Will that rub?
Also has anyone ever heard of BSA wheels or Nexen tires? How's the quality?

will the third gen tl rims fit our second gen? according to the specs on the first post, they won't fit but wanted to see if anyone has tried it yet. if anyone has, please let me know the results i.e. if they rub or stick out too much, etc. the dealer told me the specs for the third gen rims are 17x8 45 offset. sorry if this topic has been beat to death ahead of time but i couldn't find anything when i searched.
thanks
thanks

40 is to low Stock is +55 people have issues with +42 and +45.
the 3rd gen fits but the offset is to low and to most doesnt look right due to the amount they stick out

I think this will fit just right. Can anyone confirm this?
