Thanks slick, i looked everywhere, and still cant find 2nd gen tsx with the offset posted above. i guess i just have to try it out ahha

SlickxAc

it wont be flush, you shouls have noticed from that thread that most of us are running wider/lower offsets to be flush.

Gib

they will be flush with the front fenders and about 5-10mm inside the rear fenders.

it will flush with the front. because I am using 9J +35 and it comes out about 1cm

Lol use a ruler. besides that lower the car first to where you want it then get wheels doing it backwards is not a good idea.

finally put on the enkei raijin

don't like it, sorry not a fan of black wheels it just looks like you cant even see the wheels since they are so dark.

See picture below. with the 17" stock wheel it settled and was about a finger gap all around, with the 18 it has a 2 finger gap. The tires went from 50 to 40 sidewall. i guess its time for the tein street flex coilovers

my bad for the bad pictures, i was just excited and posted it right when i installed the raijins. I will test fit the bonze volk ce 28 next. I just need to get new tires for them

Depending on the drop, 8.5 wide and +35 ET might stick out very slightly up front and the rears will be very slightly less than flush. I have 8.5 +30 all round with 245/40/18 tires and the fronts stick out but the rears are "flush" enough that one side rubs with a 1.0 inch drop and no camber adjustment (yet).

tsxoniner

Do you think +40 offset would still stick out in front and or rub in the back? All other specs would be the same.

c0mikal

i have +40 with 225/40 tires and it does not stick out. but with my +35 rimes it poked out a little bit.
