I know this is a stupid question, but will universal fit 5x114.3 18inch wheels with 225/40/18 tire size fit on a 2004 acura rsx type s. I tried putting my friends s2000 wheels which are also 225/55/16's on and they would not fit on the rear because they were too wide. Can anyone help me out?

 

no you won't have any problems. i'm running a 18x8.5 +42 with 235/40r18 and have no problems.

 

sweet thanks man, what do u mean by +42

 

it's the offset. you'll need at least a +35mm or higher.

 

what do u mean?

 

it's kinda difficult to explin without a picture. do some searching, you'll find pleanty of info.

it should fit fine as long as the offset is 35+ or higher..

and referring to the test-fit with your friends s2000 wheels, i think you'll need 4 front wheels from an s2000 to put them onto an rsx

 

if you put some spacers on the s2000 rims it will fit, i'm guessing

 

Offset is pretty much how far the rim sticks out.

Right. The offset is just too far off with the S2000 rear wheels.

They would be okay for running really wide tires on the front -- maybe -- but you'd have to run pretty stiff spring rates to keep from wrecking your fenders, though.

(I may be talking out my *** on that last point; there's at least a couple RSX auto-x'ers who are running something like 275-width slicks on the front, and they poke out of the wheel wells quite a bit)
