05' RL dropped on ZDX's

whats goin on fellas....new guy here, just signed up...loving the site.. wanted to post some pics of my car. I was the first one around my way with one of these cars dropped on the factory acura zdx wheels....so i figured i would join and post mine up just in case u guys hadnt seen one before, anyways the bolt pattern is the same as our cars but the offset is a little off so i ordered custom spacers online and they fit perfect. by the way minimum spacer thickness required to get these to clear is 5mm up front so i went with 6mm spacers all the way around just to be safe and so they match front and rear.

oh and the car is dropped on h&r springs on stock shocks...no problems so far....tire size is 245/40/19 dunlop no rubbing at all....rolled the fenders in the rear just to be safe but i think you can get away without doing that.
either way heres some pics let me know what u guys think...

Looks really nice! I think our cars look great dropped on 20's. The ZDX wheels look great too.

That does look great!

Can't help but notice Lightning RL McQueen's shoes are photoshopped on. Was this before in an attempt to see what they looked like? Looks like he's sittin' on 22"s...

^ Click on one.

Almost forgot. Welcome to the community fatso. It's great to have more rim options that have been proved rather than speculated.

Different LOOK!!!! I personally hate spacers due to vibrations at braking hard and high speeds. takes away from the luxury!! but its your choice. for the price of those wheels you could get a good set that clears bbk. wheels are a delicate purchase.

It should pop open a new imageshack window.

Not sure how it works on phones.

wow this forum moves faster then i thought....sorry about the picture sizes i'm new to this forum stuff....any tips on making them bigger next time?

and to the guys that were concerned about the spacers....i was just as skeptical as u guys if not more....i got a crazy deal on these wheels as i work @ Acura dealer.....so i figured why not?......but these spacers are amazing hub-centric and 100% custom made non of that universal bs...i bought them online from a company that only specializes in spacers/adapters....the website is nothing crazy but the customer service was nuts just in case u guys want to order a set i paid $100 per pair.... http://www.wheeladapters.com/
they are made after your order is placed.....very very high quality.....i hate to sound like im advertising for this guy but i went through 2 different sets of spacers before i ordered these and solved my problem....ZERO VIBRATIONS and thats hard to come by a quality product like that....

4 Easy steps to posting pics.

1) Find the externally hosted (to AZine) pic you would like to post in the an appropriate size. (please keep wallpapers to your garage or PMs.)
2) Right click on said pic and "copy image location".
3) Click the yellow sun/mountain icon in the post window.
4) Paste the url of said pic, and hit enter.

If it worked, it should show in the post window before you hit "submit post". This preview does not apply to iPhones and possibly iPads.
