Help

Hello I have a 2009 Tsx and I need help I'm trying to get some rims and tires I would like a set of 20's or 19's but I'm not sure also I have a friend with some 20 inch mottos with a pair of nankang ultra sports tires however they've been sitting since 2005 they were on the car for 2 days they are for a 3 series BMW I know they won't fit hes asking $1200 but to make them fit would cost me more right so what do you think

My opinion is that 20's look too big on a TSX. Also, the ride quality will suck ballz cuz you will have to get a rubber band for a tire. Go get yourself a nice set of 18's or 19's and drop an inch or 2. I paid $1700 out the door for my 18's with yoko tires.

In my opinion 19' are enough for tsx but 20' if done right looks really good too all depends what rims you want to get

20's are not too big, and the ride is very nice

I would say depends on what rims you're after. Personally, I'd go with 19" though with those rims posted above ^, the 20"s look 'better' imo.

Wow, I stand corrected on the looks, these 20's look dope. Probably depends on rim type too. If there was no lip, they might look way out of proportion relative to the car body. No rubbing issues with these? And if you live somewhere with good roads (somewhere warm most the year), then I am sure ride quality is ok, but in the midwest, you always have to factor the shitty roads into your tire/rim setup and opinion of ride quality.
