I posted this in another wheel thread but wanted to ask here as well. I Was also looking at these Wheels in a 19x10+35 all the way around. My only concern is the Inner clearance of the wheel. I'm currently running 19x19.5 +34 and if I get 19x10+35 I Will have 19mm less Clearance on the Inside. Is there any concern of rubbing on any suspension components?

They should.. The +30 clears STI/EVO brembos (same caliper as ours). Hope that helps!
18x9 +30 has been done before with brembos. The wheels were rota gforces which share a slightly similar spoke/lip design in the 9" range. The XD9 appears to have a bit bigger lip on the face side which would reduce your clearance some but like I said above it cleared those calipers on other platforms.

That's on the +33...with the +22 I would recommend a roll and smaller tire. Like a 235

You can run a 225 or 235 upfront, I'd recommend it. No need to run a narrower tire than factory, especially with the power of a Type-S. You could do either of those options without a fender roll at that height.

Don't know if it's the right thread but...
Our stock tire has Revs per Mile: 821.27/mi
What is better? More revs per mile, or lesser revs per mile?
Does it effect speed? I mean what's good or bad?
No idea, can someone help?

A lot of guys run shorter tires for auto-x because of the added boost in gear ratio basically. For example at a drag strip it would reduce your 60ft times but at the cost of reducing trap speed and mph as well.
So if those two driving events are why your asking then a smaller tire would possibly be what you'd be looking into. I don't have any experience with using a bigger tire than factory. My new setup will allow me to gain some first hand experience since its actually taller than stock. So if youre curious pm me and Ill let you know if feel or see the difference driving or in mpg. The gains of going with a taller tire would be increased ground clearance and its supposed increase in gas mileage as well because of the increase in diameter. The gas mileage improvements may be offset by the increased weight of that bigger tire however.
Hope this helps

Ok, need some advice, and this is the place to ask...
Rim size: 18"
Width size: 8"
5 bolt with 114.3mm
And I don't know what 35BMF is. Can anyone explain and if this will fit my 05 TL 6mt? And what size tires are suggested? 245/40/18??

I'm assuming 35 is the offset. With that setup and a 245 you will be fine. That's only 10mm more aggressive than stock. I believe our stock wheels are 17x8 +45. I'd suggest a 9" wheel with that offset and same size tire, this is assuming you get your fenders rolled.
#2493
No way in hell a 245 will work without a pull or camber. I'd recommend rolling completely flat and running a 225 maybe a 235. Ran an 18x9 +10 and rubbed in the front with passengers and turning. That was with a roll and a 225. I'd suggest getting the skunk2 front camber kit. Your rears will be good with the roll. Should clear a normal 235 just fine (non federal).

thankyou I see a loot of guys using 225/35 up front with varrstoen es2 19x9.5 square, I though that I could go with a less aggresive offset and use wider tires 235/35 continental dws. my biggest concern is the wheel clearing the brembo calipers.

Do all A-Spec Wheels clear brembos?
Question on Brembo/Big Brake Clearance
Transmission (Manual):
Year/Trim (07 Type-S):
Wheel Make/Model: Acura A-Spec
Wheel Size (**X**):18 x 8.5
Wheel Offset (+**): stock
If lowered (amount): None
Couldn't easily find the answer to this question using the search function. Will both the 8" wide and 8.5" wide A-Spec wheels clear my MT Brembos?
