i looked at the forums and from what i read im still not convinced any advice on what i have to do to mount these wheels? I went to an alignment place and they were going to charge me 600 in order for the TL to get the camber i need.

alignment shop = whack

offset +12 might need lots of work...

you'll need roll... lots of pull... massive stretch. and lots of neg camber.


or... cut fenders up, do flares.

I thought this was going to be for a 3G, so I was going to say "Good luck."

But for a 2G... Don't even bother trying (unless you're going to have professional bodywork done, that is).

Oooook yeah thats what i was thinking. So if I go 18x9,5 or 18x8,5 i need to go with offset what? to just do minimal modification like fender rolling.

The other thing is they told me that in order to do camber i have to buy over 600 worth of parts is that true for our acuras?

thats just under $600..

imo, for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5, you could probably do like.. mid to low +30 and run around 215/40/18 for the fronts and 225/40/18 for the rear tires.

then let the front sit with natural camber and only buy the rear camber arms. rears will still need a good roll and very minimal pull

you'll need at least -3 camber front and -4 camber rear to fit these wheels comfortably without having to do major body work... 215/40 tire and you're set.

BUt personally, I wouldn't go passed a 18x9.5 +25. But that's just me...

I would recommend 18x8.5. I'm running that with +50 offset and a 225/45 tire and all I needed was to cut the rear bumper tabs. I'm dropped with maybe 1-2 finger gap in front and almost none in the back.

18x9.5 offset 12 ?

You'll need custom bulging fenders.

and a BFH to get them there with a +12

I plan on stretching my fenders to fit a 275/35/18 this winter

Are you shooting for a 1.0g+ skidpad number ?

Just the maximum amount of grip possible to scare my passengers That and for my new motor. Keeping over 300NA whp tame needs big rubbers.

Oh, and I can already get above that now with my setup and street tires (per g-tech pro) 1.07 Id love to see what i would pull with R compounds with a 275 though All i know is my seat cant keep me in it now with my 255s (i stuff a Styrofoam/foam board on each side of legs to help keep me in place on track days. I really need better seats)

Edward'TLS

^^^^^ You definitely need better seats, with that amount of tire grips.

Something like Sparco and a 4-point seat belt set up, will make sure that you're still staying tight inside the driver's seat while pulling some maximum g runs.
