I like a wheel and I can get it in 18x8 or 18x9 5x120 +35/+48 offset would that fit ?
I am almost sure about +35 but would +48 fit and what offset would be better ?? THX
Also I can not find anything about the center bore in any forum ?? Does anyone know the centerbore ??

I know for a fact that the 35 mm offset would fit just fine. Honda's offset on their rims is 45 mm and I just finished installing 20 x 8.5 with 45 mm offset and it was...let's just say....very tight.
I believe that Honda's hub diameter is 64.1 mm just in case you're installing hubcentric rings.

Thank you for the quick response. The Company told me that they offer the rims in 18x8 and 18x9 with +35 or +48 offset. Would it be better to go with the +35 offset?
I ask my Honda dealer about the hub diameter but he did not know. The reason I ask is that the wheel manufacture did not know the hub diameter and the build the wheels the way I want them. The only way I make sure is probably take one wheel of and measure it :-(

Personally, I think I would go the 35mm route only because the 48mm offset may in fact interfere with certain body/frame components. The easiest way to check would be to ask them to ship you one of each and you test fit them yourself. Just make sure you duct tape all scratchable surfaces otherwise they won't take the rims back in case of non-fit.
The 35 mm offset may result in a slight extending of the tires beyond the fenders whereas the 48 mm will in fact be well within the wheel well.
You should ask your wheel supplier to give you matching aluminum hubcentric rings that would fit the 64.1 hub diameter on the Ridgeline. This will assure you of a smooth vibration-free ride. Matching lug nuts with appropriate angled bevelled seating surfaces will also be required to mount your new rims.
If you do decide on the 48 mm offsets, try not to go with a tire that is too wide as some rubbing interference may occur. This varies from one rim mfr to another and test-fitting them would be the only way to be sure. Good Luck!
