2009 Acura TL Rims - Don't Fit!
#41
Burning Brakes
Ooooh, good tire choice! I keep hearing stories about great aftermarket rims being paired with some awful no name brand tires. Totally ruins the whole reason for the new rims (ahem....KICK BUTT TIRES).

Know the RL stock specs so you can speak intelligently with them and detect BS.
I would also check on the weight as 20's can get awfully heavy.

they look, fit and ride nice!! = )
Chase 2 here are the pics. do you know anyone who can get the Mugun front lip for the 05-08 RL's?? BTW I hope these pics of my car post up, not sure why people can not view them. Thanks!

I do like how the wheels are pushed out more though.

7mm spacers
I put 6.5mm washers on the bolts and it clears the brakes. So I ordered 7mm spacers from motorsport-tech. Will update once they come in. By the way, I can turn the nuts 6 times after I put on the washers. Is it safe enough?

Gut feel is you are on the edge, but I do not know.
And assuming the lug nut seats are the same as on the, right? Earlier (2005-2008) non PAX used flat seat or while 2009 and later use a ball (spherical) seat. Not clear to me what the TL uses. I thought I recalled reading the 4G TL uses a ball seat.
Let us know what you find out with the lug turns.

Just installed the 09 TL black chrome wheels on my RL. I used 7mm spacers in front only. It clears the brakes by 1mm(very close) Spacers were ordered from Motor-tech for $45 each, with shipping total $115.
