might be pushing it a bit too far out. Stock is 17 x 7.5 +55 for base, and 18" x 8" +55 for lux.

the yanks run 19x8.5 with a +52 offset with their ronjon's. Look on the tsx forums, they look pretty good!

The difference between the 19x8.5 +52 and 18x8.5 +45 is only 7mm outwards. The actual factor would be the width of the tyres combined with the offset.

yep, and thats about 12-13mm out from stock.

I seen some pics of enkei gtc01's 19x8.5+42's with 245/35's, fronts looked passed the guards. The backs looked fine.

how do u even read those dimensions? i know nothing about tyres

18*8 5*114.3 ET45 CB73.1

the 114.3 whats that refereing to?
and is ET45 the offset? wats cb?

also is it possible to have different sized wheels front and back?

[Type R Positive]

18" = rim diameter.
8.5" = rim width.
ET45 = rim offset from center of rim
CB 73.1 = center bore size (big hole in the middle).
114.3 = stud spacing from one stud to another across from it (not next to it).

Yes you can have different sized wheels front and back, but it might not be legal to do so.

im wondering whats the best fit rims and tyres we could attach to cu2 to meet legal specification.. im kinda blind in melbourne about the restrictions. Is it 2 inches from ur oem rims? correct me if im wrong. cheers :)

^^^ I think every state is different. here in Sydney is 1" of the biggest OEM (correct me if I'm wrong) but the legal tyres should have 98 load rate, which cross most of 19" and 20" tyres.

has anyone else here got 19" inch wheels for their Euro? and if so, what size tires do you have on your 19"? I have been looking around for a set of 19" alloys for my Euro but not easy finding ones with offset btw +45 and +55 (think i saw this recommendation somewhere in another thread in this forum). Thanks guys :)
