Anyone have pics of an 2001-2004 Acura cl with 2004 TL rims ???
Will the wheels stick out from the sides because the are 235

yeah they'll stick out a tiny bit - I believe Stealth CL has them on his ride.

FYI - there is no 2004 CL.

i got them. they just barely fit dropped. i love them as a oem replacement.

What does the drop have to do with it? I was seriously considering getting these for my car but I don't want to lose the nice soft ride quality.

they look nice..but id rather be slammed on stock type S wheels than be on 04+tl's

TRILIGHT

These are the ones I was planning on getting...



I think they would look nice on my Anthracite CL. Any thoughts?

Stealth CL

um because when your dropped you lose wheel travel and its easier to rub. and with them being so wide, they barely fit up into the fender. Thats why they barely fit. and its not because of the width of the whell or tire its because of the offset of the rim. thats what you have to look for in rims, not so much size and width

Stealth CL

you got that right, so would i. but since these came on my car, i thought id rock them to the fullest.

Stealth CL

those look sick but they have to be a shitload of money, if i were you id save maybe alittle more and get bettter rims, that will fit better, and made for the car.

(sorry guys i still cnat figure out how to multiple post into one )

Ok, so you were more commenting on the fact that they do fit, only barely, with the car dropped. I was mistaken in reading that the two went hand in hand somehow. I don't plan on dropping the car because I like the stock ride quality. Info on the wheel above is "17 x 8" / 64.1mm hub centric". How does this translate to offset or do these numbers not contribute to that at all? Thanks!

Stealth CL

no they have a 45 offset, if youre not going to drop the car the plan for them to stick out a little, if you do then they will tuck a little better due to the slight neg. camber you get. let me get my old thread

heres my old thread.

the wheels he posted dont look like OEM wheels.....offset might not be the same.

Thanks for pointing this out! Might just be the pics but it seems to be it is just an illusion. By having the car sit lower, it gives the impression they are not "sticking out" as much. Afterall, the wheel doesn't move in and out on the hub. What were your before and after alignment numbers?

Stealth CL

i have no idea, but i dont have a camber kit, and my tires wear alittle more on the inside, so i know i have some neg. camber, which i dont really mind
