Thanks for the reply 17RDXTECH! That is extremely helpful...I really don't want to order the wrong size tire. I will go for the 265/35-22 size instead. Really appreciate the feedback!
Not tons of info on wheels and tires on here, so I thought I'd share what I came up with for my 2015 Tech Package. I can't live with stock, but didn't want to go 22's or something like that, since this is my work car (Realtor).
Went with 19" wheels that I used to have on a Avalon with 245/55r19 tires. Tires are about 3/4" larger diameter than stock to fill up the wheelwell a little. Wheels are 8.5" wide with +35 offset, so they sit out a little farther than stock, but still inside the wheelwell.
Quick shot of my new wheels. Volk racing G25 prism 20x9.5 +40 fronts and 20X10 + 30 rears wrapped in Continental DWS06 275/40 r20. Big thanks to Bobinator for these wheels!
I really like these wheels and the overall setup. Will definitely use this as my template. So the +30/+40 is the offset for front and rear? Just payed off my 2016 RDX and now want to put my "stank" on this car. Thanks for the inspiration!
Any comments on the prism finish? I like something understated but still thinking about it. Can't see it much in your photo.

What's your wheel width? And how is the ride quality and fuel consumption?

Here it is:

Just joined the RDX family! This thread has been super helpful so just adding another rim to the mix. RWC Wheels from Canada. OEM fit. Also got new lugs and center caps to match, all OEM sized and they fit rims nicely. For those in the US, like me, was able to get rims from canadawheels.ca (arrived quick via DHL). Wheels are a great value and shipping costs reasonable. So far very impressed with RWC and would definitely recommend. They have several styles to choose from. Also happy with the Firestone LE3. Setup maintains overall smooth, compliant ride. RDX does feel more planted.
Year: 2018 Model: RDX Base FWD/AWD: AWD Rim Brand: RWC Rim Model: 950 Rim Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET 45, CB 64.1, 5 x 114.3 Tire brand: Firestone LE3 Tire Specs: 255/50/19
255/50/19 at stock 45mm offset (19x8.5 rim) broadens stance nicely without overdoing it
OEM spec black lug nuts and Acura emblem black center caps also added (did not come w RWC wheels)

Made me wonder why they didn't offer the wheels in that finish, in the first place.
Then I discovered... the swoops and curves in that particular wheel design, are very good at scooping up dirt and dust. Not so much of a problem when they're alloy/silver... but impossible to keep looking clean (compared to other wheels anyway), when gloss black. Hopefully your Honda versions are better with this.

Your set-up seems to be the best overall bolt-on flush fitment, but it's not rotatable, so for those that want to rotate their set, a square 20 x 9.5 +40 with 275/40 would do the trick, they would just add a common hub-centric 15mm spacer to the rear. This tire size is super common as well, so lots of tires to choose from.
For anyone calculating a different size wheel and tire combo, your specs compared to stock are below.
My initial post had the 20” VSXX I use to run on my TL for an idea of how’d they’d look. Now I have a set to rebuild and swap on. Need to figure out the proper tire size and rip these rubber bands off.
Hello Group, new to the RDX world. Recently picked up a 2018 and to me these are one of the worst looking rims out there. Have a local forsale ad of a set of 20" Aspec from a 2020 model for just under $1,000 Im guessing these should be a straight fit but any thoughts otherwise on if this is worth the investment/swap? Thanks
heres how my new set up will look like
for this summer
finally put some love on the RDX
theses are American Racing AR943 wheels
20x9 +35 offset
