Shopping rims and tires as that time of year Tire rack as 225/70 to mate up with the steels they have. Any issues with this? 2009 RDX

 

You should be able to clear the stock brakes diameter wise with most 16s....but with steelies, I know sometimes they don't have any kind of rear backpad, and can rub the face of the caliper. Something to consider before blindly buying steelies. I really have only seen a few people run 16s, and they were low offset wheels for off-roading. Most alloy wheels at least have some kind of minimal backpad for clearance. Have you looked for anything used for sale locally?

 

Thanks for the info on this. Ill keep looking for 17 factory rims as pain to return if these rub

 

look for 04-08 (ish) Acura TL wheels. They are pretty easy to find, fairly cheap, and come in a few styles. The specs will fit the RDX no issue as well.
