hey guys i was wondering what would i have too do in order too fit some wheels that are 18x8.5 with a 45mm offset and have a lug pattern of 5x112 on my 2005 tsx.. I'm lowered on coilovers and would like a flush tucked daily look..

there should be planty of threads regarding wheel fitment for 18x8.5
You should be fine if you run something like 215 40 18 tires and roll your fenders depending on your height (btw tsx has 5x114.3 lug pattern.)

You would have to re-drill them to a 5x114 bolt pattern or buy adapters like these 5 Lug Wheel Adapter - 5x112 and 5x130 to 5x4.5 - 1.25" Thick

If you go with the adapter option your offset will be +13. 18x8.5 +13 will need a 215\40 tire to tuck and roll fenders. If you re-drill the wheels you keep the +45 offset and can easily run a 225\40 tire and no fender mods.

cool thanks for the help. but i was also wondering would having a 1.25in lug adaptor bring my tires out a lot from under the fenders ??because im trying too go for just a clean tucked look..

Yup it will, you'll have to run some -3 camber. 8.5 +13 is equal to running a 9.5+26 outer fitment wise.

Never heard of a TSX with 5x112... Make sure its 5x112 and not 5x114.3 like every other TSX before you buy the wrong wheels!

:scratch:

5x114 is the TSX pattern! Wally must have mixed them up.

naw i do kno that my tsx has a 5x114.3 lug pattern but the reason im asking was because the wheels i want has a lug pattern of 5x112.. i am not confused about that aspect just wanted too kno how i would be able too make those 5x112 wheels fit..
