15" wheels?

Does anybody know if the Accord V6 15" wheels will fit the 2nd gen TL? I need some winter wheels.

Thanks a bunch.

you did not answer his question at all

it's like he asks you what did u eat today and you replied i went to school today



no, the stock 15" from accord will not fit into TL's brake because the stock 16" just barely clears the brake.

so if you get snow tires it has to be 16" at least.

Have you tried putting 15" on to see if they'll clear the calipers?

look, the 16 just barely clear the brake caliper, there's no way a 15" would fit

I know that it barely fits. I asked if anyone has put on 15s to confirm that it hits the caliper.

if you know it won't make it then why bother to try?

Like Sam said, it probably won't clear the caliper.

Not gonna work. End of topic. So you'd have 16" in the front and 15" in the back because it looks like they *may* work??? Then you'd have to get non-directional tires so you could rotate them ... Does that make any sense?

Actually, that's exactly what I want: smaller and narrower tyres in the back. It will induce more oversteer.

And I don't care about tyre life. I chew through them so quickly it doesn't really matter what I run.

Thanks for your help.
