Tires and Wheels



RonJon Vega
RJ11/19/52/1GM
5x114.3
19"
8.5"
+52

What do you guys think? I've got the same Palladium Silver. Personally, I like the look on the car.

Ron has said he likes Falkens and Toyo tires but neither are available through TireRack.com or Big O Tires which is a block away from me.

I'm thinking about the below tires, those Michellins are soo expensive but I'd like to have nice quiet tires. I'm in Southern CA so I don't have to worry about rain too often. Opinions?

Michellin Pilot Sport PS2 245x35x19
Kumho Ecsta SPT (KU31) 245x35x19
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 245x35x19
Continental ContiSportContact 3 245x35x19

I think they look great. Definitely go for it! Needs a larger offset though.

It would be GREAT if you could go with the Michelins, but if not, out of those, go with the Summer tires: the Contis.

I suck at offsets and how to calculate how flush it will be with the fender. So +52 probably is tucked in a bit so would 19 x 8.5 +45 fit better, especially if I'm looking for a brake upgrade when the OEM ones wear out?

you want to have flushness, I would go +35 or less. it will fit perfectly fine.

We've done 42mm offset 19" x 8.5" Inspyres on the TSX without a problem. I think the 40mm offset Vega would be fine, but a custom 45mm offset Vega would be the safest way to go.
