Wheel size

[Mehdi]

The 2009 TSX that I have today has the P225/50R17's on them, instead of P215.

Mehdi, that's where I was going to go with this, that the 09's have 225's and supposedly, these are the specs and allowable size....(646x215mm). Bolt pattern: 5x114.3 (5x4.5). Offset: 45 to 55 mm. Tires up to 666x235mm. Rims up to 20x8.5".

I got that info from Custom wheels, car rims, truck wheels - RIMS-N-TIRES

So, using the chart above and some math.....

666mm / 25.4mm = 26.22"

646mm / 25.4mm = 25.43"

25.43/26.22=0.969 or >1%

I recently went into a local place, :::{ No Limit Baltimore }::: (I was so impressed with them that I will definately get all my replacement wheels and tires here) and they were ready to have me out the door in an hour, with a sweet set of Motegi MR107's 20"x8.5" and a set of Nitto NeoGen's 235/30/20 (price includes switching out the TPMS, lugs, locks, spraying the calipers with high heat paint, RoadForce balance and all labor) for 1.9k. Oh, and they price match so, even if I find it cheaper I'm set.


I haven't shopped around so I don't know if that's a good deal or not.

This is definately the setup I am going with though, unless I decide to drop back to a 19" in an attempt to increase the sidewall height. I do drive into the city every day and I'm not the type of guy that likes to slow down for bumps. Maybe I need to get used to that because the 235/30's look sooo good on a 20" wheel.

I like the Nitto Invo too, as possibly a better but surely higher priced alternative to the NeoGen as long as I can stay in that 2k ballpark. I have other favorites too but to walk into a place and have someone else do all the thinking for you and to come up with a great looking set-up that works like this one does for as little as this is, it's hard to pass up.

Any thoughts on on this set-up from the collective group???
