Koenig Ampliform

I’m running on coil overs from tein TEIN Flex Z Coilovers Honda Accord & Acura TL (2003-2007) VSA80-CUSS3, at stock lowering height, I’m trying to get these rims Koenig ampliform. I have a 2005 Acura TL 6sp with brembo brakes. I want a flush fitment but I’ll probaly have to stretch the tire a little bit. I was thinking of running 18x9 +35, or a 18x9.5 +25. Is there a better figment with these rims since they’re already concave? I wanna keep the concave as much as possible but still have to clear the brakes. What would be the best rum size, width and offset?

Hey OP. I just bought second hand a set of the same rims ( spelled "KONIG", not Koenig btw). Surprisingly, I couldn't find much info on them on the Acuras. I guess not many people are running them on TL's. The specs I have on my Ampliform is 19x8.5 (square setup). They do indeed clear the Brembos. I originally wanted 18's like you but I got them for a good deal. I can't say much about the 18x9's. I have TEIN Basis Z coilovers lowered to about 1.5-2 finger gap all around. I don't rub (so far). Tires are 225/35/19. They are skinnier than I would like but they fit pretty well and don't rub so I can't complain.
What I would suggest is to find someone that has a similarly spec'd wheel and go from there.

Do you think you could go 19x9/9.5? Why’s your offset?

The only pic I have at the moment. Hopefully this helps. Brembos only has a few millimeters between the rim so clearance is very small, but does not rub

Damn those look hella nice, I can’t wait to get mine. Why’d you switch to different Brembo calipers? You know you already get them with the manuals right? Anyways yeah that looks like a great fitment. I may do that but with 19’s I’m not sure.

Do you or could you get any side view pics? I wanna see the fitment from the side, that’ll help with me figuring out the offset on my set.

I didn't switch calipers at all. I just painted mines.
I'll try to get more pics for ya when I get a chance. I still rather go 18's due to tires and the sizing of 18's is perfect Imo.
