RSX 7 Spoke Wheels fit the TSX for Winter?

Has anyone actually bought the 16" RSX 7 spoke alloys and successfully mounted them on their TSX? I want to buy winter wheels and tires for my TSX and would prefer to downsize to a 16" wheel with a 205/60-16 snow tire. I need a little more air and rubber between the rim and the potholes during the Cleveland winter!

One dealer says he doesn't know if the 16x6.5 RSX wheels will work or not. Another says they will and he has sold several sets to TSX owners for the same purpose.

Anyone with firsthand experience?

They're the optional wheels. They might make a good choice considering they're narrower.

That presents another question. Will a 205/60-16 tire fit on the 6.5 inch wheel since the standard tire on the RSX wheel is a 55 width tire?

I'd say a 205 would fit on a 6.5 width wheel fine, since we do 215 on our OEM 7" wheels.

I'd guess they'd fit with no problem. What's the offset, but it seems like all OEM wheels fit different Acuras, RSX, TSX, TL

55 does not refer to width dude. You might want to do some homework...try www.tirerack.com .

Don't buy wheels from the dealer, I bet you can find some RSX owner who replaced their stock 16" aluminum wheels with 17s or 18s (and looking to sell the 16s). Check eBay...
