2012 TSX Special Edition BWP
Hey guys,
Still new to the forums (I actually think this is my first post on AZ), I'm mostly active on TSXclub. Anyways, here is a handful of pics of my wheel set-up. I had been looking for these wheels for well over a year and by a chance encounter found some dude who was selling a brand new set, in almost the exact specs I wanted so I copped them from him. Let me know what you think!
Specs:
- VMR V710 5x114 18x9.5 +50 Gunmetal
- 5mm Front / 20mm Rear - Ichiba
- Rear is rolled
- Dropped on Megan EZ
- Wrapped in Falken ZIEX ZE912 All Season 235/40/18

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
Did some research... I don't think VMR offers 5x114.3 bolt pattern on an 18" V710. Wheelflip did offer at one point, an 18x9.5 +50 V710 drilled to 5x114.3 as a special offering for S2000s (why they chose +50 for this "project" is beyond me).

Backstory: I was searching craigslist one day and some guy was selling his set that he intended on putting on his S2K, but sold his car and had no need for the rims. I reached out to him, checked them out, and took them off his hands.

Looks great. How does it handle / corner on this setup?

Car looks great!
I'm curious if you had to dial any camber into the front to get the 9.5s to work?
I just lowered my 2012 wagon and I'm debating on doing 18x9.5 +40 Niche Targas on it, but I bolted one up without a tire to test fit and it's going to be SUPER close. I want it to look aggressive, but not at the cost of rubbing. I'm fine with a little roll and pull, but ultimately this is a shared car with my GF so I can't go too insane. Any tips would be appreciated. Love your sedan!

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I'm so torn on it, because I love the ease of driving the car right now, and I don't want to sacrifice that all. But these wheels look SO GOOD in 9.5 +40 because of the concavity. So if I can make them work, I want to. I'm cool with rolling the rear, and hopefully a little hand pull in the front would do the trick.
Here's the car with its current drop, and the wheel during a quick test fitting:

Hah, thanks.
Here's a shot from the side. We didn't have any time/tools left to jack the wheel up into the fender to see how much it would pull in, so it looks crazy from the side haha. I guess I need to just find some time to go mess with it again, but it's challenging since I just moved and have no tools. Maybe I'll go grab a cheap jack from Sears on Black Friday or something.
