how is the 235 gonna look on a 9.5" wheel tho? ive been trying to find a pic of that setup with no luck even started a thread today to find one.

im going to be running a +14mm 20x8.5...hopefully besides the rolling fenders part...it will work

In words of Akon

I think you will need a little more then rolling of the fenders to pull that off. But if you are stock height, might work. But then the lyrics apply anyways

i have coilovers so im good...rolling the fenders will make them usable

Alright, so the moral of the story is, depending on how much you plan on dropping your car will greatly effect the tire size you choose. I'm planning on running 19x8.5's up front with a 35mm offset and 235's. And the rear will be 19x9.5's with a 40mm offset running 245's. I also just ordered megan coilovers, which will be installed first. Will I run into any issues with this setup?

colombianTL

little off topic but will 19inch with 225 35-19 tires rub with stock suspension?

I also wanted to know if i purchase these used wheels i am considering (motegi dpk off a pontiac) will they fit my 06 tl. Will I need a sort of spacers to make them fit in center hole properly? Or will they just bolt on?

I had a specs, but the curb decided to mess em up(only 1 survived).

Any help is excellent. I need some advice before I buy rims that dont fit, and I can't even drive my car . Thanks

I have the exact same setup and dropped about 2" all around. No rubbing but I'm rolling my fenders this weekend because I have 15mm/25mm spacers on the way. Since I'm running 245/35 in the rear I will most probably have to run some neg camber. I'm thinking about running 225's up front and 235's out back after reading this thread because I plan on going lower in the future....

legendbliss

any idea how 19x9 and 19x10 with +17 offset would look on stock suspension?

LostSol

OK brian, your probably gonna laugh at me for even thinking of this, but during your numerous wheel changes, did you ever have stock or Type S rims and use spacers to try to go flush? Im thinking 25mm spacers with 215/45R17 tires could look decent enough to last me until I can afford real rims.

1islandparadise

^^^Sharksbreath (Aaron) had 15mm front/20mm rear spacers back when he had his stock type-s wheels. Looked pretty damn good if I say so myself!

On a different note, is it safe to run a 215/50/17 (1G TSX tire size) on our 17x8 3G TL-S wheels? I want to put my TL-S wheels on the wife's PWP TSX but I've only read people on the forum using the stock tire size 235/45 and some even 225/45, none running 215/50's....

thanks for the info. should help me out with my journey to find some new wheels LOL

IndyBlackTL

What if you dont want to run a staggered setup?

chopstix

I ran with 19 X 9.5 with +25mm all the way around. Sits flush all around.

myron

iTrader: (4)

so same spec wheels fit perfectly flush up front and back? I doubt that very much. I bet the front sticks out more than the rear

geezr98

geezr98

want to get these 19/8.5 19/9.5 dropped on ht spec type 1s
dont know wat offset i should do and wat is required to fit without rub helllpppp!!!!

bforbrian

iTrader: (11)

Do +22 all around, with 215/35 up front and 225/35 in the rear (if you don't mind stretching tires). You'll like the outcome.

geezr98

Wat offset do u think is on the BMW in pic? N thx for the info

bforbrian

iTrader: (11)

....there is no way I can answer that question.

geezr98

O lol well would u recommend fender roll front/back? Camber kit?

murph145

^ just depends on the look you want if you go with that set up and a +20 something offset lowered and a 235/35/19 rear tire you will still need to roll rears or shave

i just added spacers to my rims to make my rears 19"x9.5" +25mm with a 235/35/19 tire and it sits flush... i had the inside of my fenders shaved this weekend because it did rub over bumps but now no rubbing

gotvtec_06tl

the stretch is what i have with 245/35/19 on nitto 555 extreme. wonder if I will get the same look. cause I want the +25 fitment.

AcuraAddic

How about 19x9.5 all around with a 33 offset with a drop around 1.5inch on 08 type s ? What tires should I go with and would I experience any rubbing issues? Thx

murph145

a 9.5" front is pretty large but at least its a +33 offset if i were you i would run a 225/35/19 you most likely will have to shave off the very front edge of the inner fender where it might rub/cut tire

AcuraAddic

Yeah it's what I expected lol Im trying to avoid rubbing issues and crazy stretching on tires .

murph145

ur guna have to run a decent stretch up front with a 9.5" rim no way around it

AcuraAddic

so what tires should i go with for the set 19x9.5 all around +33offset? and im a lil woried that my front wheels will stick out to much what u guys think?

bforbrian

iTrader: (11)

Didn't we just answer that for you? Or did you mean what brand and model?
You need to be more specific..

AcuraAddic

yeap you right bfobrian, u have answered my question . i should make my post more clear , im looking to get the opinion regarding the tires that would be stretched what brend and type of tires would u recomend also do u guys think the front wheel would stick out too much? any of you would go with that ofset and 9.5 up front?

AcuraAddic

or i should just pass on that set

bforbrian

iTrader: (11)

19x9.5 +33 is fine, but you'll want to run a 225/35 up front and 235/35 in the rear.

Good stretch tires are Falken FK452 and Dunlop Direzza DZ101.

AcuraAddic

thx B , any rocomendation for the webside or place in NYC area to get the tires from will be helpfull thx again .

Your spelling worries me.

I get most of my tires from discount tire direct since they have the cheapest prices.

murph145

AcuraAddic

u have to excuse my spelling , obviously I wasn't born here and I tried my best didn't work out this time
