***List of Wheel Sizes, Offsets, and Tire Sizes for RSX.

PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ASKING WHAT WILL FIT. I ONLY KNOW THE INFO ON WHAT IS POSTED BELOW. RSX Wheel Offsets and Tire Sizes. All sizes and offsets listed below are known to work and have been used by a member here. Another tire size or offset may work than those listed, if you have used or are...

Dude, you really should have done a lot more research on wheel sizing and offsets before you spent money. The tire size is actually pretty okay for the 9" width. I run a 245/35/18 on my summer wheels (18x8 Enkei Raijins) and the fitment is flush. Your problem is the offset. Hardly anyone runs a +5 offset wheel on an RSX. THAT is what's causing your issue. My offset is +40. Even if you go to a 215 tire, your wheels are still going to be sticking out way too far.

Where did you buy from? I got mine from Fitment Industries and they were very helpful in determining what would fit correctly. They also have this calculator that you can fuck around with: Wheel Fitment Calculator | Find Your Fitment | Fitment Industries

I'm honestly not sure what you can do to rectify this aside from selling the wheels and buying some new ones with a more appropriate offset. Good luck.

 

Any update on this? I am currently running a rsx i bought off a buddy with cosmis xt206r 17x9 +5mm offset has 205/40/17 tires. I feel every pebble also lowered on tein coilovers. Looking for a meaty setup keeping the same wheel, any recommendations?

 

Did you see my response? The offset is what's wrong here. Tires won't fix that. If you want a "meaty" look, get a wider tire, but it's going to stick out even further than it currently does due to the super low offset.

As for the road feel, the thinner the tire, the more you feel. If you want more cushion, go back up to a 45 from the 40. 45 is the stock size.

 

Is this thread still alive?
I have been looking at this wheel https://www.fitmentindustries.com/buy-wheel-offset/555781071/xxr-555-17x8-35?suspension=Stock It is +35 offset, would it be enough? In addition, is there anything else I need to know before DIY it myself (I know nothing about wheels...)

 

Yes, that would probably be fine. If you want to make sure, use the calculator that they have to see what the difference is between this setup and stock in terms of how far they'll stick out.

Are you getting tires also?

Yeah I am currently browsing at which tires I want
