Wheel offsets
Ok guys, I have a 98 RL and I'm looking to put some 18's. I would like a deep lip but not too aggressive. I just don't know what offset to go with without the wheels sticking out. I want to be able to tuck them. It isn't lowered yet but that's because I haven't found springs. Suggestions on offset? Thanks.

I did not know the specs off hand, so i googled.
https://www.wheel-size.com/size/acura/rl/1998/
there are two wheel sizes, but lucky for you,both have an offset of 55
6.5Jx16 ET55
7Jx16 ET55
for more information; because I didnt know what ET stood for.
Offset is stamped on a wheel as an ET value, which refers to the German phrase Einpress Tiefe. ETindicates the distance between the mounting surface and the geometric centre of the wheel (the symmetry axle), usually expressed in millimetres. When the ETvalue decreases, the alloy wheels will protrude further out.
according to that definition, the high offset of 55 means that they wont stick out that much

thanks for sharing. A lot of those I seen on Google as well. I was just hoping someone would pop in here and show theirs so I would know the offset they used.

You will have to do what those gentlemen did; play with height, play with camber, play with tire size, play with fender to get them to fit.
Your proposed set is more aggressive than my set and I had to roll and pull fenders, and raise my shit up, in order not to rub. But of course, I like race car tires! Wide and fat. You will have to play with all variables, especially tires. You will have to stretch tire or put a narrow ass tire on that wide ass wheel
You won't be able to tuck with springs, you will need coilovers or air
