And your suggestion to do some research, Well thats what this forum is for. And the INFO posted is from Real life experience with people who HAVE tried different offsets. I tried a friends +38 (granted it was a 8") and stuck out outside the fender. 95% who use +42 rub or have issues. Id suggest any one who's doing research not to try a +38

they will fit almost perfectly, and your gonna want a drop when you put them on, your wheel well gap will look huge.

Whatever. You have what you have thats fine.

If my profile was the same as my stock type-s wheels, 55 (still on the 19x8s), then I would need to have the speedo read 62.19mph to actually be going 70mph.
So it appears as if with my setup there is really no change in the speedo reading. The calculator I was playing around with is claiming sidewall (termed as aspect ratio) has a big deal to do with things...

18x7 with +40 ... should be OK if you don't lower it and/or you pick 225/40/18 tires. Worse comes to worse ... cut the tabs in the back and if you still rub, roll the fenders.
Sadly, measurements are not an exact science ...

Unfortunately this applies to the actual manufacturer of the wheels as well...

All depends on the rim. a 19x8 with 45 offset may have less clearance than a 42 from a different type of rim. Hard to say. I have 45 offset 19x8 Zenetti Fives and I have a good amount of clearance, but not sure for a big brake though I just got some brembo OEM blanks and EBC green stuff and I'm callin it a day..

This Is Scary!!!
This thread is awesome, but at the same time it got scary the more I read about this. I am scared to even buy wheels now with all this talk. The things that worries me, is difference in speedometer and odometer. I had that problem in my previous car when I bought wheels without any research.
I gave that car to my dad now that I am driving TL. But he didnt want to believe me that my tires were rubbing on the fender. But now, will all the info I got from here. I am sure I was right!!!!

^ yes. they will fit

Ok, I have read every single post in this thread about wheels and offsets. But I haven't came across anyone mention spacers. If the wheels you want have low offset, why not get some spacers? For Example: I want wheels XXXXXXX but offset is 38+, why not just get 20mm spacers to make it 58+???

Rubbing issues
I purchased a set of TSX 04-05 wheels 215/50/17 +45 offset I believe. I am at stock height right now and wonder if I got some H&R sports (1" F, .75" R) and some tokicos would I have rubbing issues?
I don't exactly know what the "cutting tabs" truely means, but if it means cutting into the fender liner, I don't think that would be wise for me here in WI since it would literally rust my car from the inside out. I am looking at a way to lower my ride w/o too much modification.
I know this is a "will they fit thread" but I think this should be ok to post here

UPDATE
Well, I gave in to the warm weather and put my 19x8 Zenetti Five's back on. (45 offset w/ 235/35/19 Falken Azenis tires)
I got out my trusty Dremel and trimmed my bumper tabs off. Put the wheels on and then drove around and no rubbing anymore!! At least so far anyway. To see if they would rub, I basically put my car at an angle at the end of my driveway to really "contort" the rear suspension since I have a pretty good size smoothed curb. By doing this, I am basically shifting the car weight to one rear corner and the opposite front corner and I have about 1/4" between the tire and the metal fender edge on the rear fender. Another way to do it is to turn the card hard on a turn to hear for rubbing, did that too and still good to go!
I know before, that tab would of been all up in my tire at that angle. So, with using my dremel, I trimmed the tabs in about 10 min for both sides combined. So all is good now, thank God!! I'll see about getting some pics up to show you all the clearance by doing this .

Of course, it's FKN snowing today!! Oh well, shouldn't be too much accumulation. I had to cut more of my bumper tabs back last night and I think I got rid of at least 95% of the rubbing. I may need to go back another 2 inches or so to completely eliminate it, but all is good at least for now. Luckily, I got about 1/4 inch of clearance on the metal portion of the fender, so I don't think a fender roll will be needed. I contorted the suspension on a hard angle to where the wheel was tucking into the fender and I could barely get my pinky in the gap (sounds nasty) but not what you all might think LOL! I did the same on the other side to make sure it was even, it was!
Plus, I bought those metal hub centric rings from Discount Tire and replaced my plastic ones. I have no vibration now other than road feedback!!!! Yes Surrr!

most of the searches i have done have been based on entering make and model on some of these website, and they give you recommendations. a lot of the results vary from zero offsets to negative offsets (deep dish)...its gets very confusing. with that being said, if i want 19" wheels and do not want to be cutting into my fender, what are my options...it appears that 19x8 is the best bet, but what is the range for offsets i am safe with

BUT it also has a lot to do with tires. Tire size will help you out there too. With 19x8 i think 225/40 or 235/35 would be ok. I am not too sure because i have 18x8 rims with 225/40 +38 offset. You should ask people who have 19 inch rims and see what set up they have along with how much of a drop they have. There are a lot of variables you need to consider besides the offset.
