Question about TL tires?

I saw this on ebay. I was thinking of bidding when I saw the size 17x8. I though the TL rims were 18's. Can someone set me straight?

A-Spec TL wheels are 18's.... stock are 17x8-inch.

I saw those too earlier today... tempting, but I wouldn't want those tires... just the wheels.

Anyone put those wheels on a TSX as of yet?

Ahhh... good to know then.

Wasn't planning on doing it but I was curious as to how they looked on a TSX.

Thanx Bass!

Oh... not those TL rims (A-Spec 18's).... were talking about the original stock TL tires and rims.

Knighter's car looks great with wheels & tires... but I don't think he will be able to lower his car without rubbing issues. (I think 8.5" is just too wide for this car.)

You'd really confuse a few people by putting TL rims on a TSX. It would look even more like a junior TL.

Where I live it doesn't matter. People look at the TSX logo and then ask me if that is the new TL. I don't think it would matter if I changed the rims out.
