i have a 05 rsx type-s and im thinking of getting a set of 18x8.5 volk te37s with a plus 22 offset, but dont know if i should need a spacer or not. anyone running a similar setup with info would be greatly appreciated.

 

No you shouldn't. For the most part it depends on the wheel. Also, most higher offset wheels usually +40 and above will tend to need a spacer. Google how offset works and you will understand why. 18x8.5 +22 will sit super flush with your fenders, I think that would look pretty sick. I can almost guarantee that you will need a slight fender roll though. Look on CRSX.com and check out the Aggressive Wheel thread. There will be plenty of RSX's there with wheel specs close to that.

 

LOL no u dont, 22 offset is good enough

 

Those wheels will be sticking outside your fenders. I hope that you are not very low.


I am running a set of Volk CE28N's in 18x8.5" +40mm offset wrapped in Nitto Invo tires (255/35R18) and they are sticking out a bit from my fenders. I think that a +22 offset will be way too much of an offset and I would stick to something around a +40mm offset. A +22mm offset will push your wheels outside of your wheel wells.

 

This is my 18x8.5" +40mm offset wheels with a 225/40/ZR18 Nitto NT555's before I went with a wider wheel. I don't have any pics with the wider tires yet.

 

thanks for the info guys. been really helpful

 

Archull, you have one of the cleanest RSX's I've ever seen. Nice work.
