hI to you all, i'm a newbie here since i bought ma 2005 base TL about 2 weeks ago. Really happy with my car it's a black on black beauty
I'm looking for wheels and found these on adds near home here in Montréal.
The specs are:
-size: 19x8.5
-Bolt Pattern: 5x4.5" (5x114.3mm) & (5x115mm)
-Offset: +30mm (1.18")
-Material: Aluminum
-Back Spacing: 5.93" (150mm)


I am on stock springs for now but i already bought tein S tech to go on it. Will +30mm will be ok without Rolling fenders? will it rub? the wheels are awesome and the price is a steal!


And what about the tires? should i go with 235/35 or i am Lucky enough to have 245/35 Under there?
Thx in advance

 

First, you will need to roll the rear quarter front lips for safety. It's *possible* that you could get away with a 245/35 without rolling, but improbable.

Second, if you were running 18's you could fit all the way up to a 265, but since you're running 19's, it's going to depend more on the aspect ratio of the tire. To fit the widest tire, you're shooting for the stock OD of 25.3".

235/45/19 = 25.5"
245/35/19 = 25.8"

Neither are way out of line. I think you would have no problems with the 245/35 with a slight quarter roll. If you don't want to do a roll, stick with the 235/35.

 

i really appreciate the answered.
Since it's not really a priority to have the widest, i'm really ok with the 235. So i'll try with 235 without Rolling, and if there one little rub, i'll pay someone to roll them
I don't want to put 18" on my car since, from my own opinion, there is not enough difference between 18 and 17, so at that point it's not Worth the money.
I really love the look of 19 on those cars.

 

Aesthetically speaking, most consider 18's to be the best compromise for the car, and when you look at the difficulty of keeping the stock tire OD with a 19, 18's are usually the choice. Personally, I think 18's look the best up front, and 19's look the best for the rear, but with the difficult of matching the tire OD's, not being able to effectively rotate because of FWD, there are simply too many challenges.

 

To be honest, the only wheels that click my mind in the 18s, is a picture i've seen here on the forum from a member who put Civic-accord hfp wheels on, with spacers and the color was bronze. Fall in love with the look, and the fact that they weigh 20 pounds, but god they are hard to find, and the price of it is sometimes ridiculous just for the wheels themselves...

 

Never seen that car, looks fantastic! But I'm a fan of much meatier tires.

i gotta admit that it looks great i like it, but i like the other setup a little bit more
i've just sold my gtp with 255 on 20s , now i want a different look for this one

 

I'm wearing 265's, and will get 275's next time.

 

wow it must be a real go kart in the curves, pictures??

 

Civic HFP wheels may look good from the side but no way would I run 7" wide wheels. Plus added spacers with then will make you look like a rolling pizza cutter from behind

 

haha good one, i'm still thinking about those 19s anyway

 

Not really, no TL is a go-kart in the curves, they are way too heavy. For reference, this is my toy...
