LFA "style" wheels
Has anyone put these on or tried? I was trying to get the 19" set, non staggered. All the companies I've talked to will only sell them staggered. It's hard to find any good info on wheel fitment for the RX and seeing if any one had the answer. My wife's car needs tires soon and I was hoping to get wheels and tires instead of just tires.
Specs are as followed:
19x8.5 offset 38
19x9.5 offset 45
Any help would be appreciated.

I would say do a search on the forums as it has been covered many times before, regarding what offset you can have on the RX and whether staggered is achievable or not (hint: most people will recommend you can't or shouldn't do staggered if you have an AWD).

I understand saying search is the easiest thing to do, but I have looked through info and was hoping some one could chime in. I'm not worried about the fronts, my concern in the rears. Sounds like it should work but I don't have the time/money to gamble right now with a baby on the way. Otherwise, I'd order and just resell if it didn't work.
I also did not see any one running these wheels yet in my search either, hence the question about these specific wheels too.
Her's is a FWD as well.

Staggered rims look sick but i wouldn't bother on the rx. I'd go with a 20" over a 19" because it will always be cheaper and easier to find tires. You'll also be spending more in the future on tires because you cant rotate them. Those offsets sound like the rim will sink in from the fender(just a guess tho), my wife runs a 20x9 with a 20 offset and they sit flush(the guys at TSW said to go with 40 for factory specs). Rims look a lot nicer when theyre flush so take your time.

I have AWD. I am on 21's and am staggered. But every one here pretty much already knows this. It takes some homework to do it all right. Your 8.5 and 9.5 is not a problem but your offset might me.

Offset in what way? would some 15mm spacers do to make them work? Is it even worth making these work?

I've definately seen your ride around on here, and it looks great. I'd love to go with a better nicer wheel on the RX but we have alot of financial things coming up and will not be able to put that kind of money in to wheels at this time.
