Racing Hart rims

Anybody know if Racing Hart Type C2 (3-piece) 17x8 would fit on a 98 2.5TL? The bolt type is compatible, but I was wondering about the width. The tires are Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 245/45ZR-17.

Have a chance to buy them, but want them to fit.

Thanks for the 411 in advance,

c2 3 piece fits a prelude (ive seen it) and prelude wheels are compatible with accords, which in turn fits TL's (2.5 4 lugs) so if you're sure they fit then go for it. i use to jock c2's like crazy when i had my honda. theres a pic of a white TL (1st gen) from here in houston who has c2's. ill try to find it...

not sure. it'll probably depend on the offset. if you can i would put them on your ride first to try them out.

That is me who's on the gallery pics..I used to have 18x8 Racing Hart C2 3-piece..w/ 225/40/18 they fit perfect..with a 2" drop they barely rubbed in the front..(Had a 3.25" drop w 215/35/18 ..no rubbing but also no tire.) Now i have the 3-piece M5 19x7.5..225/35/19 still no rub.

I took that pic the day i got the 19" M5, so you could see the difference between the two styles and sizes(I sold the 18"C2)....I didnt ride around w/ two diff wheels on the car.

I was wondering about the width. Will 245/45/17 rub? Anybody have experiences with wider tires?

Thanks,

If your car is not lowered than it might not rub???But 245 is a big tire for a 8" wide wheel..I had 225/40/18 on a 8"wide wheel.
That on a 2" drop tucked into the fender well. The back inside of the tires rubbed if i had people in the back and went over a large hump. As for the offset im not sure what they were..I hope I helped
