Spacer on stock wheel
I searched and couldn't find the definitive answer on if the 2013 TSX SE will be flush on the with a 20mm spacer or 25mm on the stock SE wheels with stock ride height.
Can someone clarify? Thanks!

Ive use 25/30 fits and looks perfect at least if your car is lowered.
but since your car isnt lower , i say go with 20/25

If you are still looking for spacers. Shoot me an email. I'll send you a set to test.

Here is what the stock wheels looked like with 20mm spacers:

That wheel gap lol, so weird to see it after living without it for a while.

Also I'm curious if you had your skirts and bumper stock!

Those were Ichiba V2 20mm adapter spacers on all 4 corners, front wheels look wider either because of how the fenders are cut, or maybe front track is wider than rear. Car was 100% stock otherwise, bumpers and skirts are standard on US Special Edition cars.
I should mention that I only ran spacers for a week or so, then took them off and sold them. To me the steering and ride felt more numb with wheels further out, turn-in wasn't as crisp. And as weird as it sounds, I kind of prefer the tucked in look of FWD cars, and lowered 1" it looks pretty good IMO. When I looked for wheels, I specifically tried to find some that are a bit wider, but close to stock offset. I got a set of stock STi 17x8 BBSs with centerhub bored out.

The fact that the rear wheel isn't flush bugs the **** outta me. You can see what I'm talking about in my Avatar.

TBH, you get used to the change. These car give exceptional steering feel and it may take away 10% of what you would feel with a stock setup. Takes some time to get used to but the pay off is the wider stance and improved cornering. The car doesn't plow through corners and keeps the rear in line. Obviously that is a little more subjective given tire choice...

I didn't notice improved handling and I'm very sensitive to handling changes. Reality was I wasn't too crazy about having my wheels held up by studs going through less than 20mm of aluminum of questionable quality. Adapter spacers do work and are probably going to be fairly safe, but at my age I'd rather not run them.

absolutely satisfied with this, a nice subtle change in appearance for a fair price.
the build quality and customer service from Garageline was outstanding too.

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
I'm doing 15/20 with a rolled rear. With a rolled rear fender lip I should've went with a 25 at least. But it's only for winter, so I don't care much. Should be spacerless in a few weeks

Hmm. Timely resurgence of this topic. Just to confirm:
At stock height, +20 spacing on both front and rear would not require rolling of either, correct?
At -1" drop, +20 spacing on both front and rear would *still* not require rolling of either, correct?
Can you guys post a quick pic of your F/R wheels and what spacing/drop you've got?
THanks,

Yeah, but then #26 confused me a little (I'm simple).
So you're at -1.3 drop; did you stick with 25mm in front or go to 20mm? Rears at 20mm.
