Wheels size limit question.

Hi,


I am an owner of an 2012 TSX Base 6spd. I want to know if I can install 16inch wheels for the winter set-up? In example.. does RSX 16inch wheels would fit?


Thank you for your help.


Guillaume

If the bolt pattern and CB of the rims match up with your TSX, I believe fitment is fine per se. Since these are for winter, I assume you'll be running higher profile tires (50-60 profile). If you don't, your car will be lower than stock because you've gone down an inch in diameter in your wheels.

If you care about aesthetics, I suggest going for a minimum of 17" wheels, even for winter. 16" wheels are unheard of on this forum (even for a winter setup), and I think they're gonna look super puny on the 2G TSX, even with a thicker tire.

Oh yes. That is a good point I didn't think about.


For the little money difference between each size, I will go with 17inch.


Thank you sir.
