(OFFSET) 30mm or 36mm

Hi, im new to this site and i just bought a 2010 tsx. Im try to learn about offset. Im looking to buy some 19x8.5 wheels, im looking for a little deep dish look but still tucked in nice all around without pulling fenders or rolling panels . I was looking at between the 30mm or 36mm. Offset . Can u guys give me a little input . Im putiing on h&r 1.25 drop springs .thnx

I have 18x8.5 +38's and they just barely fit without fender work (225/45/18) So a 36 would be your best bet. Either one will require that you do not buy a camber kit to "fix" the natural camber. I wouldn't go any wider than 245mm for tires.

Agreed. Also, the 30mm offset wheels being that wide, would look a little silly (I think). They would stick out noticeably.

They wouldn't stick out. They are 8mm...or about .32" more agressive than +38's in the same width. There's about .25" of room left on my setup, between the rear fender lip and the wheel face.

I have 225's on a 8.5" wheel...so the tires angle in toward the top just a bit. 245's would look squared up. So...you're really getting close there lol.

But....up front, you might be right. They might poke out JUST a hair.

i have 19x8.5 et34 with 245/35/19 dunlops. short answer: just about perfect. no rolling needed to be done anywhere. i'm lowered on coilovers so i'm definitely lower than those springs.

but seriously though, do some research on the board. there's tons of info and you'll do yourself a favor learning instead of being spoon fed this info.
