Hi, Im trying to order either 18 x 9.5 sportmax 962's or 19 x 9.5 for my 02 type s acura and I need to know if that will fit my car or not. Im running a mugen suspension with a 1.4 inch drop. ohh and the offset of the wheels is 38mm.

any help would b greatly appreciated

thanks in adv

 

i am almost certain 19x9.5 won't fit. the 18x9.5 is also highly questionable. why run a wheel that big? plan on running 255's or something?

 

I had some 18x9.5's on my old Lexus IS300, and they were beast. I was running 265 40's but I wish I had 255's because with the 265's they rubbed like hell. The wheel stuck out like an inch from the car. Here's a few pics. I had 18x8.5's in the front with 235 40's and they were perfect. My EP has 15x8 +25 and they are flush with the car, maybe just barely out and I have barely any camber in the rear and I rub every once and awhile on bigger bumps. You could probably make them work but you would probably need a fender flare or a super fender roll and neg. camber.

 

those are gangsta sizes you want...
these are 19"

 

Also the Lexus doesn't have rolled fenders or anything. I just raised it a little in the rear but with anyone more than me in the car it rubbed on every bump and hard turn. I had Tein basics so the susp. wasn't that stiff but maybe with a little stiffer set-up it would have helped a little. The biggest I've seen on a RSX is 18x9 and the fenders were rolled and the whell still stuck out.

 

Here's an EP3 with 17x9's before a fender roll and honestly this is just about the biggest/widest I'd ever go on a Honda. This should give you another idea of 9.5in wide wheels, just imagine another .5 of an inch on top of these haha. There's alot of RSX's with wide wheels where I found this pic, just go to ClubRSX.com and click message board then scroll down to the wheel/tire thread and go into the Official Aggressive Wheel Thread. Lots of sick cars.
