Hi I have a 2007 Acura TL base I just ordered 18x8 Aspec wheels from eBay the off set is +45 my question is what would be an ideal tire size that would be oem fitment and that wouldn’t have any issues thank you.
the acura recommended size for the 18x8 Aspecs are 235/40/18 and 245/40/18 for the 8.5 wide aspec. I would run 245 on the 8 or 8.5 inch rim to provide a bit more protection for the rim, it's only about 5mm more on each side (inside and outside of the tire) in width.
Don't cheap out with tires, they can make the car ride and drive like crap. If you live somewhere where it does not get cold, the Continental DW aka ExtremeContact Sport 02 is an epic tire (cannot be driven on in below or near freezing temps, will damage the tire). If you live somewhere where you need to go through snow, the Continental DWS06+ rocks.
I've gotten both of these tires and their previous versions since they debuted in 2009 and cannot speak highly enough of them. I get more miles than the warranty is for, grip is great and comfort is great. I don't recommend Pirelli All Season tires, every single one I've had has sucked besides the P7 Cinturato that was from the factory on a BMW 3-series.
You can research tires on tirerack.com and they own discount tire so you know you'll get the best price and service. Discount tire also uses the Hunter balancing machines that are VERY accurate!
