My usual advice. Call the manufacturer and make sure they know it fits, and that you have return rights if it does not.

Of course, the worry is the large front wheel 4 piston calipers which do NOT clear many wheels, which on paper look like they would fit because of the bolt pattern and the offset. The other is hubcentric fit. If the bore is not 64.1 mm, you make sure they come with a centering rings to ensure that hubcentric fit. As always...

Caveat emptor!

Let us know what you find out so we can continue to build the database.

God nothing fits this car. we tried on like 6 sets of high offset 5x120 20" rims so far. I'm getting stressed out i want some rims already. I've been going around seeing rims that shops have in stock cause i don't want to go through the process of ordering and returning rims cause they don't fit.

Though not a fan of chrome due to the maintenance (curb it and it's done), those TSW you listed are lookers. Let us know how they work out.

Nice Rims Bro!

I have the same ones in 20" look for a thread that says 20" with 285 Rears. I did 20x8.5 front 235/35r20 and rear 20x10 with 285/30/20's. Fronts clear at 35 offset with more clearance than the 18" factory A-spec's. You need to go with the size I listed above or your speedometer will not be correct!

Here is the link, let me know if you need any info, the 20x10's on the rear REALLY make it look different. I mocked both at first and decided to go wide on the back.
Had to roll rear fenders, machine wheel to make work but was worth it...

I missed this. Next time, try any number of our discounted dealer suppliers also.

hondacuraworld.com (Ray Laks Acura) has always been good to us, and is a sponsor (still is, right bob?) Tim has been really good.

we have a new sponsor in Prestige Acura, though I have never used him

Then Curry Acura in Scarsdale is not a sponsor, but very competitive and good service (has an ebay store).

There are other ebay store fronts such as Troy Acura, who always have selected good deals.

Those wheels look helluva lot better than the first pic you posted.

The first pic had some weird center cheesy looking design...
