Looking at getting some Volk LE37Ts with the following specs:

19''x8''
+48mm offset
225/35/19 tires

Will this fit on my 04 TSX with stock suspension? If not, what would I need to do to roll with these bad boys?

yeah it will fit with stock suspension, but itll make your car look stupid high. 4x4 status ftl. get coilovers if you get the wheels
welcome to the club btw

Haha, thanks for the heads up! :tu:

Any rec's for coilovers? And really, that stupidly high? Haha... Oh.

Also, keep in mind that I live in a half-year winter environment with salt... So I need something that will last.

Can I just install some Tein H.Techs??

*LE > TE

...... unless you are 18x 9.5-10 +20 to +35 lollll

H-Techs will help. Definately drop it before you get the wheels. If you feel you may want to go lower, I'd look into a good coilover kit. The specs of the wheels in question will fit perfectly.

The car is my DD, so I don't really want to go lower. And the streets here in Ottawa are absolute crap so it'd be risky.

I've got the H.Techs in the mail, and will then get the Volks. Hopefully they're not too overplayed. I was looking at the Work Schwert SC1s in the classifieds, but the fitment is sorta sketch...

im sure you know that youre inducing additional wear by running springs on the stock shocks. coilovers are a good idea eventually. For some reason i also think that the mild h-tech drop will still make the wheels look out of place cuz theyre 19s. i could be wrong though

also, if you have a winter to deal with, i wouldn't run the Volks year round. Id hate to screw up the finish on the wheels driving thru ice etc.

Don't go 19" wheels if you have bad roads. You'll crack those puppies in no time, not to mentioned you'll have a crappier ride.

Drop your car 1.3" and then put on some 18s and it'll look good.

PS - Welcome!

Yeah, I am planning to keep my stockies for winter driving. I was also concerned about how the 19s would look with h.techs... still haven't committed to the Volks but they're hard to resist...
