Fortunately I was able to get them on sale... Total with S&H was close to $1600. Otherwise, I think they retail for $500'ish per rim.

Luck bastah! LOL I am very happy with these Forgestars. Wifey likes them as well and wants a set on her MDX. Guess spring time project will be some Dubs on her truckster. On a side note. I wished I had my camera with me last night. We went out for dinner and had my TSX parked out front of the restaurant under the lights with the wheels slightly turn. Great set up and visual to show off the stance and the wheels. I kept looking outside cuz the car look so damn hot. Think I paid more attention the car during dinner than my hot wife LOL!

WTH happened to my garage
BTW, dayum those look good!
Specs for JDM FF cars from manufacturers like RAYS specify wider wheels for the front.
Will it ever catch on here? Doubt it.
FF staggered larger rear wheels are for looks. To each their own.
Real pretty, but...
Another staggered set-up on a front wheel drive vehicle.
Somewhere along the line people have lost touch with the real reason to upgrade wheels and tires. Call me old school, but my goal with new wheels is to lighten the unsprung load and provide a platform for the best tire.

Hey benbeb, I'm ordering my wheels this weekend. 19x8.5 and 19x9.5... By the looks of your 275's would you recommend I get those for the rear? And do maybe a 235/35/19 or 235/35/19 in front?

understeer is when you try to take a curve or turn, and the front end slips out, causing you to take a wider turn. oversteer is when you fish tail or your back slips out. oversteer is fun, unless your ass flips all the way around and you do a 180 so your right turn becomes a left turn. manufacturers make all cars slightly understeer to be more stable at highway speeds. our car is 62% of the weight in front and is FWD, so we understeer, ALOT

Is this conversation even happening? WE ARE FWD...WE UNDERSTEER!!
Its quite a feat to achieve a healthy amount of OVERSTEER in a FWD.
That being said, there are many factors at play that can effect benben's handling cause he has the staggered setup as well as the coilovers.

The fronts, go with a 245/35. You will have a lil bit more sidewall compared to 235/35. BTW, what wheels are you getting?

I'm ordering in Monday. The wheels are the Stance SC-5 and the tires are Nankang NS2.
Wheels - 19x8.5 (F) 19x9.5 (R)
Tires - 135/35/19 (F) 165/30/19
I was planning on rolling the rear fenders cause I'll be ordering the Eibach-Pro soon and it might be cutting it close with that 265.

Those Stance SC-5 rims are very nice! With just Eibachs, you won't get that aggressive look especially with the tires being 35 series. Coils are the way to go to complete the package.

Doing the same thing in reverse is pretty interesting since you can literally spin the car around on a dime. The front end can do a full 180˚ spin while the back end stays planted.
I use to ice race my Honda Civic back in the late 70's. The organizers would setup a track on a frozen lake and then we would run timed laps through the coarse.
Disclaimer: Best to practice this under snowy conditions with no person, vehicle or object in the area. That way you don't have to worry about driving off the road, hitting a tree, and dying.

Oversteer is so much fun in a FWD car! Go into a corner ... pull up on the e-brake ... keep the throttle on and the steering turned ... and voila!
