Acura TL OEM Wheel 18x8 5x120

Would I need a spacer for these wheels for my 2005 RL? Saw an old 2014 thread where someone put a 6mm spacer and wondered if it's really necessary.

whoever put spacer because they need to clear the 4 pods caliper, 09-14 TL never come with 4 pods caliper and its why you need the 6 mm spacer.

off set could be the same, however the spoke on the RL is skinnier (thickness) than TL this because RL has 4 piston caliper where in the SH-AWD TL this is not a problem since they use dual piston conventional caliper.


If you don't believe me then go ahead and buy the wheel and find out for yourself.

I believe you. Lol. Just curious about offset. Thanks for the information and heads up! You saved me a headache.
