Wheel Fitment Question
Hi all,I have poured through the forum and internet hunting for information, but I've reached a brick wall and could use some help.
I would like to give my parents my old 2005 Acura TL Wheels (+ tires) so that they can use it on their 2001 Acura RL and not have to purchase brand new tires.
2001 RL Stock Tire - 215/60-16
2005 TL Stock Tire - 235/45-17
I'm having trouble figuring out if it will fit without rubbing. Here's what I think I know so far:
Thanks!!

I'm having trouble figuring out if it will fit without rubbing. Here's what I think I know so far:
- Both bolt patterns are the same - http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse...._Reference.cfm
- Total diameter will be different and result in a speedometer that is 3.18% faster than actual vehicle speed - According to http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp
- Here's an attempt to mount those wheels from a few forum members - https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...&highlight=235
- Kaiserseal got a 2005 TL rim on his RL with no issues but I don't know what year his is.
- NastyRLEY got a 2005 TL rim on his 1996 RL with no issues.
- LJrl had an issue with offset using chrome replica TL wheels, and they rubbed in the rear.
- In the previously mentioned thread - Ken1997TL has scared me into thinking that the rim will fit the pre 1999 RL but not the 1999+ due to model year differences. It's not his fault; it's more my own ignorance.
Thanks!!

I ran 225/50/17 tires with TL wheels at stock height equals no rubbing whatsoever... it will only rub if you slam the car to the ground....it happened to me before. I hope this helps.

I thought I'd conclude this thread by saying the wheels fit perfectly. No alterations necessary. Hope that helps someone else ion the future. Perhaps I'll post a picture this weekend.
Thanks for the input jayess and horsepower.

Please post up some photos if possible. I just got a set of Megan coilovers and front and rear camber kits to put on the RL sometime this month.
