new wheels

I just bought the TL wheels and tires from my neighbor for $600 bucks. They had less than a week of use on them. When he got his TL he immediatly upgraded his wheels to the A-spec ones and had the stock TL ones sitting around. So I bought them from him and they look real good on my black 04 TSX.

Don't have any pics, as I am without a camera but as soon as I get one I will post them. My neighbor had those wheels just sitting around brand new and when I told him I needed new tires, he said he'd sell them to me. I thought that the deal for six hundred was excellent so I bought them and put them on my self.

That does sound sweet, I love the TL wheels, and wider, lower profile tires.

Does the shorter aspect ratio of the tire effect the odometer mileage, and does the wider tire rub in the wheel well?

TL wheels on 235 and 225 section width rubber have been done a million times... both are within plus sizing tolerances. The "excess" odometer mileage is immaterial. If you want more info, go to the wheel and tire guide in the appropriate subforum, and read.

The wider tires (235 or 225) wil definitely not rub on a stock height car. 225 will not rub on a car that's dropped 2+ inches (I know from personal experience), although 235s might with more load.

I haven't noticed any change in mileage, and the car runs the same as it did before. The stock TL tires are just a tiny bit wider than the tsx one's. Other than that they are the same tire.
