Ok,

So, assume 2 is more important than 1 while going with 18’s...so +45?
+45 would be the way to go IMO. No need to worry much about rubbing or fender mods. I run an 18x10 +40. More aggressive than some people but I have my reasons. The whole torque steer thing is truly blown out of proportion... are you lowered at all?

I got these bad boys installed today. They're Volk Kuro Edition TE37 Sagas (with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 245/40/18), and they drive like a dream. A big thank you to Jason on these forums for selling them to me!

Wow. They look gorgeous. Now that I'm back in the game, I'm gonna have to do my best to find another set! :)

So glad you like them and I hope you and the Mrs. are doing well!

Here is a quick test fit of the new wheels before putting them up till spring. I know staying 20 is not the popular choice but i'm not tracking and i love the way the 20's fill out the wheel wells.
FlowOne race spec F3 wheels in matte bronze.
20x8.5 +32
Tires are the OEM CS6's 245/30/20

Man I'm torn now. I'm not tracking my car and I was trying to decide if I wanted to stay with 20" wheels or downsize to 18" wheels with a taller profile tire. This makes it even harder.

This is personal preference of course, but i think putting 18's on the car takes something away from it. i get why people are doing it and respect that but i gotta stay with the 20's. my only goal was to get something that i liked the look without going any heavier. I picked these up on sale and actually saved about 5 pounds per wheel.

I feel like Honda engineered the car with 20" wheels for a reason. Still doesn't make it an easy decision.

I'm with you on keeping the 20's. I think I'd only go down to a 19 because you can achieve basically OEM tire diameter while having a ton more of tire options (245/35/19).
