Looking to upgrade my stock 2010 tsx wheels. I really like the stock Accord Sport 18" wheels/tires and can get them in a package (link below). 18x8, Tires 235/45R18, same bolt pattern and bore.

I would like to keep stock suspension, will it work out smoothly? will it be flush and opinions on how it would look? Just got the ride and pretty clueless so detailed responses would be appreciated.

i have 19 x 8 on my wagon with a +48 offset.

I am far from flush. see pics in my progress thread.

the wheels you have will have a higher offset probably +55 so they will be in even further than mine.

i also run a 245/35 19 tire. it is almost the same as stock diameter.

I am pretty sure a 235/45 18 is going to have an extrra large sidewall.
And be much more diameter than stock/.

use a tire calc to confirm. all over the web/

 

 

The Sport Accord gets 18''s and we get 17"s? WTF Honda.

 

Thanks for the info. So could someone help me put those numbers together? what is the minimum I would need to do to get this to work and look good? worth the hassel? or are these wheels/tires not going to work at all?

 

^it will work right out of the box.

because you arent dropped and how conservative the specs are, it will fit exactly like your stock rims....it will look the same, and be sunken in a little more than your stock wheels.


if you want them to be a little more flush, buy spacers.
try 15mm up front and 20-25mm in the rear.
those are suggested widths, you might or might not want more aggressive spacers....

 

Why are the spacers different from front to back if the offsets are the same? thx

 

Strictly to give it the "staggered" look. Some rear wheel drive cars use wider wheels and lower profile tires on the rear. The fact that the TSX is front wheel drive seems to be lost on some, and like to make the car look like it's something it isn't.

 

Actually, they'd stick out about another 1/4" since the Honda 18" wheels are 8" wide. I think this would be a pretty good swap, and is probably the tire/wheel set-up that the 2nd gen TSX should have had to begin with.

 

Post some pics if you ever get I done. I am also looking for new stocks either TL or Accord wheels

 

the different width spacers is because, you can be more flush in the rear because there is more space.

not because of the illusion of being "staggered"

you have less space up front to be flush.

 

This is as I get my car, complete stock, no spacers and not lowered.

 

Those look nice, what are the specs of the wheels and tires?

 

This is a picture of my 2011 tsx tech lowered on tein s tech with 2013 accord sport wheels

 

Looks amazing! May I ask what you did specifically.. drop? spacers? Do you ever get any rubbing or does the ride feel any different. Thx

 

nice, but looks too much like an Accord now

still have the "H" emblems on the wheels?

 

Technically...... it IS an Accord

 

What color is this?

 

Hmmm looks nice...!

 

htec, what tire size are you running? I want to get HFP 19s with Tein s techs. Would a 245/40/19 rub at all?

 

the car is lowered on teins s tech stock accord wheels and tires 235/45R18

 

I have an Accord Sport for anyone wondering the wheels are a +55 offset, they look really nice with the gun metal

 

I am contemplating this swap as well. Sounds like the size/clearance will not be an issue, but I am worried about the effects of the extra weight on MPG, handling, braking, etc. Any thoughts/advice?

According to the wheel-size calculator, the weight will increase roughly 22% compared to the stock wheels/tires.
