Sorry bud, but that ET on your rims will give you a lot of chipped paint along the side of your car.
If you just bought them from a shop, return them and tell that you need another ET. This is far from recommended by Honda (or me by that sake).
Take care of your paint!
What is the recommended ET from Honda? I am having a hard time deciding on 18's.

Thanks :)


It's quite nice. Also, it's just 15 minutes walk for me, but I'm a heavy sleeper so I always run to the car in the morning.


Now the tires are changes and everything is good :)

If I could walk to work in 15 minutes, I'd never drive my car to work. You're a lucky dude!

I refuse to put winters this early. :D
Historically I go with Conti DWS06 but this time I might go with Michelin PS A\S 3+ while you sacrifice a bit of lifespan and snow input, in return is to have a sharper handling and better on the rain overall. Let's see..

Soory, but I can't remember it right now. But my dealer struggled a lot to find for my CTR since their ET is quite high.
If I remember correctly, 48 and 50 is good. Maybe 45 too.

Near freezing in the morning now, so I just ordered 18x8 Platinum Elite wheels and Michelin X-ICE Xi3. Going to pack them in the car and get them installed at the dealership.

Enkei Raijin 18x8 gunmetal wrapped in Michelin X-Ice. The gunmetal looks awesome with my PMM. Sorry it is still dirty.

Yep, couldn’t figure out tires and wheels, and just bought a house so figured I neeeded a truck. Got a great deal in an ‘04 Tundra.

lol, I was considering both of the wheel setups above before I went for my NT03RR's. I think they both look fantastic, especially considering the price.

How do they handle? It's hard to tell how much difference is attributable to the wheel rather than the tire, but what do you guys think? How's the 8" wide wheel working out?

Just installed over the weekend. Didn't get a chance to drive yet. I probably won't drive fast enough to notice the difference.
