Capo, here's a few options without having to roll your fenders. You can run wheel size 20x9 offset 37 all around with tires 245 35 20. this setup will be conservative and no fender rolling needed.

if you want to run 19's. You can do 19x9 offset 37 all around. tires 245 40 19
no fender rolling needed. The good thing about work wheels and other company that make 2 and 3 piece wheels (HRE, DPE, Volk etc.) you can build the wheels to whatever spec you want. In your case a conservative fitment not aggressive...these are just a few of the many offset options you can go with.

Wheel offset and tire size plays a big part in if you have to roll fenders to make it fit. It's clear you don't want to roll fenders so you'll need to go with a conservative wheel/tire fitment.

There were like 15 acuras in the show. I won for the appearance category but an RSX which i don't have pictures of edge me by little because he had a BBK kit and Turbo. On another note...I did order a full customized BBK kit for my front and rear with everything including rotors and calipers. I'll post pics when i installed it.

I guess I should say thanks?...b/c you just made up my mind to not do anything else to my car and try to pick up a 4G after school. I really didn't like them stock but your car is just beautiful man. Love everything about it. The exhaust sounds amazing..and that's coming from a Ford v8 guy at heart. It sounds deep, a little raspy, and exotic. I want that car immediately

Brian, anything close to an aggressive fitment is going to rub in the rear because of the rear fender having so much inner lip...I did roll my rear fenders way back when i got the car last year. In the pics on this page i was running 20x9 +37 front and 20x9.5 +25 rear with tires 245 35 20 all around.
The work varianza is a nice wheel and very popular. Work does make some quality wheels...I did order some new customize wheels from Work which is currently being built. They are a new design wheel and way different from my current wheels and more aggressive. I'll put them on for the new year and post pics.

Thanks. They are mixed feeling of the 4G in stock form but with a few mods it transforms into a beautiful machine.

Thanks bro. I see what you did to your acura TL with all the mods...so if you ever decide to get a 4G i have no doubt it will be one of the hottest.

Thanks. I do run the same size tire all around and get a good alignment and have no issues running staggered....
I know you've been wanting to run like a 20x10.5 in the rear. You can do it. There's room. To change things up a bit my new wheels that i'll be putting on for the new year is more aggressive and i'll be running 20x10.5 in the rear with a low offset. Thing is there ain't much info as far as aggressive wheel fitment to follow on the 4G so for me i have to keep pushing the envelope to see what works and what doesn't !!!
