CL-S or TL-S wheels on a 99TL?
Is anybody running TL-S or CL-S wheels on a 99TL? An Acura parts guy told me that the offset would cause them to hit my suspension. I seem to recall reading about people using these wheels, but just wanted to check one more time.

They'll fit. TL-S are 17"x6.5", CL-S are 17"x7" both with +55 mm offset.
I'm running 17"x7" +55 mm offset and they fit perfectly, no rubbing (body or suspension).

They'll fit just fine. All 2nd Gen TL's have the same suspension geometry. That "Acura parts" guy apparently doesn't know what he's talking about. There are a number of people running both wheels. Go with the CL-S wheels if you have access to them. They are a 1/2" wider and allow you to go with wider rubber.

If anybody here has a photo of either on a 99 TLP, I would really appreciate looking at it. Post it here or email me at b16acrxturbo@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance!

Don't forget the main difference in the suspention geometry between the TLS & TLP is that the TLP's turning radius is SMALLER. Since it had smaller wheels to begin with, the front wheels are allowed to turn further than a TLS.
