If you run thicker sized tires your going to rub even more! In order to eliminate this problem you need to roll your fenders, run some negative camber, maybe cut some of your fender lining. The only way to eliminate wheel gap is to lower it more. Running a size 50 tire would just look silly imo.

I probably will rub up front if I fit 50s, probably better to stick to 40s. The rear shouldn't face rubbing issues. Some guys on this forum are running 275 on the rear

Oh I also want to avoid rolling the fenders, I'll probably need some negative camber if I go for 45s

Oh also just noticed, I probably should clarify, when I said Scrapping my car I didn't mean the wheels rubbing the fenders, I'm talking about hitting the bottom of my car when I enter steep driveways.

I really like the purple, goes well with the car and it's not the typical colors people have on their cars, like the ones listed above... Those would have looked good too but i like it different.

i actually like the purple on the tsx as well. just need to black out the tails cause the red clashes bad.

defratos - if your car was lower and maybe a little more stretched, it would fit perfect here.
