I just wanna see them on the car...I already have a set of new tires in 17's and I'm going to use my OEM 17's with my snow tires.

18s or larger. It will make a difference.

I agree with everyone else. 18"-20". 17's is for a smaller car like the TSX. Even then most of the tsx owners upgrade to 18".

^ 18 X 8 with a sticky 245/45 R18 would be the best handling choice for the vehicle. 20's look the best but increase the un-sprung weight on the corners significantly.

A 17 X 8 is just a waste of money. Are you planning on using the stock tires or something?

Almost forgot I promised you this. Had to do a very quick job this is literally a 1 min chop. Keep in mind I covered your 18" wheels so they represent 18" wheels in the photo.

No lift nothing else was tampered with and the wheels cover the oem wheels exactly.

I think the wheels look great, What do you guys think? 18's will probably be the best choice.
I wanted to do 17's because I have a brand new set of tires, that way I wold just get the wheels in 17 and be done. I don't rreally wanna lower it because I drive it year round, and in the snow. I guess I'll price out some tires and see whats good. I appreciate the p-shop.

I agree with the guys 18 or 19 inch wheels, the car is just too large to run anything smaller.

I think 20" looks best, if you want to stick with OEM sizes, I wouldn't go for anything less than 19".

19" is the perfect rim size for these IMO.

18-20 at least. I have 18's on my car right now. Still feels comfy on rough roads.

Can I do these wheel sizes?
(2) Front: 20x9 +28 Offset Semi Concave
(2) Rear: 20x10.5 +40 Offset Deep Concave
If so......what tire sizes?

You're going to be disappointed: TSW Nurburgrings have a flat wheel face regardless of the offset. The lower the offset, the deeper the well is where the lugs interface with the wheel.

Take a look at dankgummy's 20" Nurburgrings with a 35 offset (post# 3)

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ht=nurburgring





and compare them to my 19" Nurburgrings with a 41 offset (post# 34). There is no discernible change in face of the two sets of wheels - they are both flat:

https://acurazine.com/forums/4g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-298/4g-wheel-tire-specs-thread-pics-898010/





If you want mesh style wheels with a deep concave, you should get Forgestar F14s, Avant Garde M310s, or VMR 710s.

si1point6, why does your car look so much better/flushed than dankgummy's? His just looks a bit off and poked out. Is it because of the offset or that you're lowered, or both??

Stock suspension + 20" wheels + different offset

VS

lowered slightly (springs?) + 19" wheels + different offset
