Wheel info required

Hi all from Australia

i have a Honda Legend KB1 2006 model, I’m thinking of updating my wheels. I’ve seen this set of 20” wheel from another brand of car a GM Holden Monaco (Pontiac GTO) I believe in the US and I’m wondering if they will fit my car which the equipment of your Acura TL 2006.

if anyone knows, please advise either way.

hello,

The U.S. equivalent to the Legend is the RL.
The RL or Legend has a wheel bolt pattern of 5x120mm
The Legend or the RL is All Wheel Drive.

the CV8 monaro has a US equivalent, which is called the Pontiac GTO.
the GTO has a wheel bolt pattern of 5x120mm.
the GTO is Rear wheel drive.

the wheels in question; they will physically bolt on to the Legend because the bolt pattern's are the same.
however, the CV8 is rear wheel drive and the wheels in question are wider in the rear than the fronts.
the wheels in question are also very large in diameter at 20". The current tires will not clear your car.

when you say won’t clear my car, I’m not sure what you mean by that. If you can be more specific please.

I think the current tires would be too fat and would rub into the fenders.

I believe it is possible to use 20" diameter wheels, but in order to so, one needs roll and widen the fenders and use skinnier tires.

the wheels in question is set up for a race car, where the tires are nice and fat and have a lot of grip.
in order to put 20" on, one needs to use very skinny tires.

Welcome to the forums.

Since this is a topic/technical issue which will require replies and discussion, this thread has been moved from the New Member Introductions forum to the model specific forum for better response.
