    Bought new TSX Wheels

    I just bought some used TSX wheels off eBay.

    This is my car with stock



    this is the new TSX wheels I bought chopped in. I'll have to get spacers I'm sure, but it looks pretty cool huh?



    Need to get some tires and spacers... then I'm set!

    it actually really looks really good.
    I was thinking about this the other day when I was at a stop light and a TSX was at the other lane.

    Ehhh i'm not a big fan of the CL9 wheel's... I saw em on an FG2 the other day... looked kinda off imo. I think the CL7 rim's look better than the CL9.

    I'm going to test fit them when they come in. If they hit the calipers...I'm sure I'll need spacers. However, I always thought spacers were 20mm...but there's more/less....

    What's a good thickness? Will 20mm fit without mods?

    Thanks Amigos!

    the offset on these is 55...stock is 40-41... does that mean the the wheels will be 15mm closer towards the center? I notice a small amount of rubbing on the rear with my OEM wheels... The camber looks higher than in the front... Spacers? readjust camber?

    They're not here yet, but I'm just planning ahead

    yeah basically the wheel is about 15mm closer to the center. I think your going to need spacers, I was going to get some euro accord type-r rims but they had a +55 offset and didnt want to deal with it.

    well, the guy had them on his 2006+ si, so if that's the case I might need the 5mm? Like I would if I bought Si wheels?

    Hmmm....worse comes to worse...they'll fit my wifes Accord..

    OH...and where can I buy some quality spacers should I need to? I'm beginning to suspect I shoun't have purchased these wheels...the 15mm difference may mean the back of the rim hits the lower trailing arm on the suspension.....

    Im sure you wont need spacers for those, if they are +55 they are further from the center not closer.

    The closer the number is to 0 that is when you will have caliper clearance issues.

    I think you may be confused on that.

    Or we are understanding diff matters of this topic.
