and it's staggered I don't want to do any fender work or lowering. Maybe I might lower a bit in the future. Also are they worth the price? or should I just wait and buy some from tire rack

first of all..what car u got? if u got a TSX I'd go 19" instead of 18's

it'd fit. the style isnt my cup of tea though.
also, with staggered, i believe you cant rotate the tires?

The tires are fairly close to original diameter which is a plus and the offsets sound doable. We know one member has 19X9.5 and it seems like he has room still so an 18X10 would probably fit in the rear. The fronts no problem would fit but man Id hate to give you a thumbs up then you buy them and the tires rub suspension or fender in the rear. A drop is a almost a must have if you are getting rims for the TSX. For reference Im running 18 X 8 + 30 with 245 40 and a moderate drop. I barely clear the fenders with 4 adults.

09 6 speed tsx black. I'd love to go 19" but I prefer not to lower the car and I heard it'll look ugly without lowering the car, also bigger rims = thinner tires and it's a luxury car, I enjoy it's smoothness. I'm bumpy rough rides (came from a lowered 300zx and EVO).

not sure how the staggered would look, and honestly i'm not too happy with the style either. I'm on and off about it I guess. Well what difference does rotating tires really make? Your still gonna end up changing the tires, in my opinion your delaying tire change but in the end your gonna end up changing all 4 rather then just two. I don't know.

It just hit me how thin the tires would be in the back, damn that'll kill the smoothness of the car huh? And in your opinion do you think it'll even look good? Hows the ride on your set up? and when you have time can I see pictures?



Thanks all for your replies.

I'm done** with rough rides (sorry forgot to include "done")

hmmm people with 19" rims on their TSXs: do you see a significant change in smoothness in your car from stock rims?? I'm trying to decide between 18s or 19s as well

i have 18's on my car, anything bigger the tire gets thinner and wheel gap gets more significant. I am still lowering my car just because i hate wheel gap. But with the potholes etc. depending where you live 18's are my choice because of the taller tires. Wheel gap with 19's not lowered can be horrendous and the need for a drop and 3-arm camber kit can get expensive.
