Wheel Fitment Question?
Ok so the day its getting closer and closer and it looks like I'll be jumping on a 2gen TSX. Now I'm into having my car lower and having a nice wheel fitment, what is the lowest wheel offset that can be put without any body modifications and also tire size?
Btw I'm looking into F20x9 and F20x10.5
Thanks

it really depends on the offset and how low you wanna go
i test fitted 9.5 and 10.5 with 30 offset (you can see pictures in my thread)
back needs to be rolled and maybe pulled

If you don't want to mess with body mods, you have to take a couple of things into consideration. The width and profile of the tires will play a lot into whether or not you can get aggressive with fitment. If you are going for the super stretched look or as my wife calls it, "bitches wearing heels too big for their feet," then you can get away with some lower offset wheels and negative camber. However, you will have major poke'age if that's the look you are trying to achieve. On the flip side, if you are going for the refined OEM+ look, your optimum fitments are as follows:
F: 19x8.5 +45 on 245/35 or 19x8.5 + 50 on 245/40.
I recently discovered my fronts running the +45 offset with 245/40 were rubbing on full lock to lock with a 1.5" drop. However, if I do a negative 2 deg. camber offset I "should" be ok.
R: 19x9.5 +42 on 265/35 will be ideal with just a fender roll. Otherwise, be prepared to do some careful and patient fender and bumper work like I did with my 275/35s.
My lessons learned from this venture, ideal combo with the least amount of work is..
F: 19x8.5+45 with 245/35
R: 19x9.5+42 with 265/35 (30) ** depending on how much you can stomach on the cost of the tires.

Tobwac and benben have both been active in answering this same question you are asking chaqui. The thing is, theres still not enough of us stancing our cars to have a solid answer for you. As mentioned, many things come into play like if your going to roll your fenders, lower on coilovers or springs, run camber and i think most importantly, stretch your tires. I am in the process of going the stanced route too and ordered 9.5 + 22 and 9.5 +30 for my ride.
You can definitely go 20x9 and 20x10.5 though, as long as your in the 30-40 offset range for those 10.5's
