This is what I envisioned except dropped and tires tucked in a bit. Looks nice but it needs to be lowered asap. Stretched tires on OEM stance is a no-no.

The wheels came before the suspension set up haha, I couldn't wait to put them on. Fender work is being done in prep for the drop.
Coilovers will be in tomorrow! Pics to follow

You sure it's +30 MadeInAcura? They only have +20 or +35 in a 5x120.

TeamAcura, You are correct! They are +35 offset
I forgot I added in the 5MM spacer.
Fenders are getting pulled as we speak so to tuck them under there with the spacers after lowering.

nice wheels. Any reason why you got 5mm spacers on? You want these to stick out more? What do you mean by fender pulling?

Those are 10.5 +35, so without a pretty good pull on the quarters he would need a slight stretch from what I have seen.

nah, ive seen people pull off that type of offset of some vossens.


if i was OP i would have lowered the car first, see what the clearance was before i picked the right tire size... i could see him running a 255/35 instead of a 245/35

my 9.5+12 sticks out more than his wheels and i still run a 255/35 tire.. if i can run that, so can he.

It is kind of strange. It almost makes me wonder if the offsets are misstated, because of wheels like yours and I have seen guys running XXR 521 10.5 +30 that are less agressive than all the guys running Niche 10.5 +35.

Yes it is. I am not sure if he is on the forum. I have exchanged a few messages with the owner on IG and he said that the wheels fit ease, which makes no sense, since they should be more aggressive than the Niches. Something doesn't add up.
