18x7.5 thoughts?

Recently came across some wheels that caught my attention but only thing i didn't like was it was 7.5" wide.. Wanted to get some thoughts on this and if anyone have a 18x7.5 set up on 3G TL?

I believe 7.5" is the setup / width used on the TSX. They will probably fit but depending on offset, may look a little more "sunken in" and not be flush with the fender. Not sure where you found these, but you could try the manufacturer's website, or find a dealer and see if they are available in 8.0+ widths. Most folks are looking to go wider, not narrower

At least stay with the OEM width which is 8 inches. I would never recommend going under that. If you can go to a 9 or 9.5 wide.

Some thing with tire width, a 235 or wider is recommended, I personally would never go any narrower than the widths that came on a car. You want to keep the same driving dynamic, or go a bit wider for an improvement.
