Did anybody put 19" MDX oem 5 double spoke wheels to RL 05-11 ? Pics would be the best help to make decision whether they fit or not to RL.

Thank you

They don't fit due to RL's caliper size.

Well, I thought these are the ones, which are in the picture. There are many sellers at ebay, who offer them to RL.

Are you sure these 19" wheels will not fit RL due to calipers, if there are original 17" wheels ?

Sorry guy, this is a one off Acura RL A-Spec Concept Car with MDX like 20x8 custom wheels. Never sold. The MDX wheels do not fit the RL because of the large calipers.

You can shim the wheels or have the caliper machined a bit to make those rims fit. An Acura dealership told me this.

cut down those beautiful aluminum calipers? Sacrilege!

For the first time ever I think a small spacer would actually be a safer option.

There was a lot of weight in the trunk


I'm actually selling these off of my car. i used a little spacer from a local store.

Wow, the car looks great !!! Did you put any spacers to fit them ?

Thank you for pictures.

Mitch89

DavNyc3,
What size spacers did you use?

DavNyc3

I dropped the car on Sunday and put the wheels on for 1 day then they get sold. Atleast I got a pic with them on the car with a drop.

ichi d

what size spacers did u get and did it rub? im feeling it more with the drop.

DavNyc3

Honestly idk the size of the spacer but I can tell you it was just the right amount needed. Nah no rubbing at all. These wheels are gone just waiting to put another set of wheels on. A local is selling a set of 2010 rl wheels. Kinda interested.

Looks great! Exact same wheels I want for my RL!

For anyone who is still looking for information on the MDX wheels:

• I measured with a caliper, used old crush washers to imitate a spacer, and found that a 7mm spacer would probably work with a bit of sanding to the brake caliper.
• For me, I found 7mm wouldn't be considered safe enough to run on stock studs since the amount of complete lug turns was decreased.
• I then found the extended studs a member previously made a post about which are 10mm longer than stock. With that, I ordered some custom 10mm hub centric spacers.

Here's how it looks lowered with 10mm spacers on 245/40/19 tires. Note: There is no rubbing (even with a heavy load in the back) or issues when fully turning. Someone else with the same wheels told me they used some 15mm bolt on spacers and had no issues making a full turn but I prefered slip on spacers.
