Rims Question

I have the '01 CL-P. Now my question is can i put the CL-S rims on it? The TL's? And if not, Why not?

By the way the South Florida CL/TL meet was awesome. All silver cars. Picks comming soon.

According to Acura the wheels should not be used.Apperently there are diffences in both the frame of the car and the steering rack that can cause the wheels to rub.Jens

Well if our wheels are wider (and stuck farther back into the car) they would haveto A) crompress all the suspention elements and steering elements that run in from around the axil to the wheel. or B) limit the turning radius so that we don't hit all that goos stuff. I think they did B so that if the CL-S wheels fit they shouldn't be turned all the way or you'll be paying for a lot of repairs.

I went to the dealer today (Miami Acura), they told me there was no problem put the TL or CL-S rims on the CL-P. Any specific questions i should ask them that would prove what you guys are saying?
