Default Wheel size

What is the common aftermarket wheel sizes most people use? I'm looking for wheel options while shopping for a TSX.

i think you can't go wrong with a 18 or 19. both look good dropped, the 19s fill up the space a little better though.

well lets put it this way, how much do you feel like spending on tires when they are needed, the larger the rim the lower the profile tire meaning the more expensive and less drivability in winter. but if thats not a aproblem with you then i would say go 19's i just got new 17s and im happy with them i dont want anything larger.

bumping this thread to get more input...

i'm thinking of going with 18x7.5 wheels and i can't for the life of me figure out this offset business. King said they could get me the wheels I want in +50 offset which seems rediculous to what I'm used to. Then some people get +45 or +48, but I've also seen people posting up with +35 offset. What will give a flush look? (I would only be lowering minimally, perhaps with the eibach prokit). thanks for anyone's input.

Hi ash, i've recently ordered 18x7.5" in a +40mm offset.

From spending hours trawling over pics of TSX's/Accords, i'm happy that that's going to get me pretty damn flush with a nice drop. I should just get away with minor inner arch tweakage, to go above the arch-lip edge. For you only going with a subtle drop, you shouldn't need to fiddle with liners and that fitment should be spot on.

Yes, lower offset and wider width is do-able but with the OEM ET being so high (55mm), the really low numbers become hard to work with and need lots of camber.
