You should give the tyre/size calculator a try on what's a good option on tyre combination.

I think 18s look great. Plus they don't make the ride so dam hard, and the the tires are cheaper
after i install my 18s...i think 19 is better.......coz pro-kit is not low enought to make the rims look bigger

When getting 18s, the ideal tire size to go with is 215/45/18. It's rare but it's the closest to stock tire size when going with 18s. In fact, the shop where I purchased mine informed me that there were only 3 tire manufactureres that make them: BF Goodrich (which is what I have), Toyo, and Pirelli.
225/40/18 is the next size I would recommend. You can refer to this link for further detailed info, http://**************.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1466

^^ It's shorter than stock, but it should work.

is the offset of the wheel okay? will it clear the fender? is 245 too wide?

245 seems kinda wide on a tsx go with 235's to be safe maybe even a 225/35/19 better to be safe them sorry in the long run after rubbing

civicsir07, I'm running 18s w a 235/40. I have goodyear eagle F1s, which are a great tire, but pretty pricey. This size is almost identical to stock o.d.(one tenth of an inch difference) Personally I chose 18s for ride qualty purpose as I have virtually no change from stock, but 19s look better if thats what you're going for.

consider the Euro-R gets 215/45/17 ... i think it's good to go with 225/40/18 and
235/35/19 ~ 245 is too wide.... remeber we got little tq to run these big ass rims+ tires ~ but 225/45/18 is not bad if u perfer nicer looks than performacne ~

so 18's would be an ideal set up with 225/40/18's as for goin with 19's which will be a harsh ride?

sir- did a little research and found this-
215/50/17(stock)-25.5 in
235/40/18-25.4 in
225/40/18-25.1 in
225/45/18-26.0 in
I used the website powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi to figure. hope it helps

oh coo, thanks man! you think if i go with 225/45/18 will fill up the gap more other than going with 225/40/18 with eibach pro-kit?
