Crucial Question About TSW Kyalami Size. HELP!

First of all, thanks to anyone who may be able to help with this question.

I have a 2005 silver acura TL and i've been looking at putting some new shoes on it for a couple of weeks now. I've driven myself crazy looking at wheels and tire setups. This is worse then shopping for a home.

I've read several threads and view hundreds of pics and I've finally decided on ONE of the following setups.

1.

TSW Kyalami 18x8 with 245/40-18 (.40 offset) (toyo proxes 4) on all four corners.

or

2.

FRONT - TSW Kyalami 18x8 front with 245/40-18 (.40 offset) (toyo proxes 4)
REAR - TSW Kyalami 18x9 rear with 275/35-18 (.45 offset) (toyo proxes 4)

I chose 18's to keep a bit more rubber between the rims and the roads around the DC area.

I think setup number two would look absolutely sick, but im not sure about any rubbing issues. I've seen some staggered fitments on here, but not sure if they rub. I also want to make sure that the fitment does not stick out past the body of the car. Flush would be perfect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as im finally ready to pull the trigger.

Thanks in advance.

IMO staggered fitments arent the best option on a fwd vehicle. Rotating your tires is out of the question. If you develop any unusual tire ware... you will need purchase new tires instead of moving the tires around.

Those TSW wheels are nice and i considered the Kyalami for my Silver TL with 245/40/18 also.


Good Luck!
