19" rim, +45 offset wrapped in 245-40s..any thoughts/rubbing concerns? Still riding 4x4 here () so no issues from being slammed but I wanna know how well they'll fit and if I'll rub in any way.

I wanna find out how wide those RDX rims are but the RDXers don't frequent their boards as much as you guys and I haven't gotten a response. Anyone here know the width by any chance? I've tried researching but keep coming up short on width.

 

I'm almost positive they're 8" wide.

 

has anybody done this before i realli wanna see how this looks

 

Confirmed - 19x8

 

I will do it!! I'll post pics!!
Can anyone else corroborate 8" wide??

 

Yes! Too slow..Thanks ASASN21!!!!!!!!
P.S. - Where'd you find the info?

 

it shows on here that there 7.5 inch wide unless those arent the wheels... because i dont really know what the rdx aspecs look like im just guessin

http://www.finishlinewheels.com/ACURA/RDX/2009/

 

Those look like them but I dunno if that's the right width. I mean, the TL A-Specs are 8" wide and 245 are recommended for them while 245s are recommended for the RDX A-Specs as well. Ergo, they are also 8" wide.
ASASN21 - Could you enlighten us with your source?

 

Also, that site states 5x115 bolt pattern while numerous other places I have seen, most Acura dealers, have stated 5x114.3. I think it's just a lazily run website...

 

^lol yeah i thought the rdx has 5x114.3 bolt pattern
but where are you gonna get the rims from anyways?
blackmarket?

 

^
I'll let you know when I secure them

 

^deall i wanna grab those for next summer

 

Seriously? I'll get two sets now if you are positive you will buy them...

 

not sure lol still a long time left till next summer might change my mind by then

 

^ wussy

 

^lol but i dont have any money to spend right now still gotta buy some snow tires and fix couple other stuff lol
that atlp exhaust really put a hole in my pocket too
but imma make sure when the time comes i go fo those aspec wheels... i been lookin at the tl aspec's for a really long time but now that ive seen the rdx ones im more into those

^
"Buy It Now" = Final Price.

 

Thank you for corroborating!
Jumping on it!

 

i just couldnt believe the price lol

 

That's a CRAZY price .

 

I just answered you in your RDX forum thread but decided I'd clear up the misinformation here as well.

2004-2008 TL A-Spec rims are 18x8.5. If you ordered an A-Spec kit these are what you got. The 18" accessory wheel Acura sells which looks like an A-Spec rim but isn't is only 18x8.

I have the real deal A-Spec rims on my 03 CL-S, they are most certainly 18x8.5 it says it on the back of the spokes.

 

Hmm..well now that's just confusing. I know that there are a few 18x8.5 gunmetal A-Specs that only came out with a few 04(?) TLs IIRC. All the rest are 18x8 as far as I know/ have seen.

Also, the place I bought my A-Specs confirmed 19x8 when I called them to verify the specs so I know what I'm getting now.

So if the accessory wheels that Acura sells aren't really A-Specs, then who are they made by?

Also, why would they give some one rim for ordering the A-Spec Package from the beginning, while giving others another when they buy them as an accesory? I feel like making/selling two sets of almost the same rims would drive up the price because of production.

 

damn, I've been wanting to see these wheels on a 2g for the longest time!! I love those wheels, but can't find them for a decent price

 

I'll get pics up when I get everything together..it may have to wait til summer tho cuz I don't wanna possibly mess up brand new rims with the possible snow this winter..and all the sand/gravel they'll put out cuz OR drivers suck in the snow

 

Both types of rims are made by Enkei (I believe all Acura rims are made by Enkei at this point). The accessory rims are referred to by Acura as 18" sparkle silver accessory rims and their finish is a little different than the ones you got with the A-Spec kit.

If you can find the 18x8.5 ones and you are lowered, you will most likely have rubbing problems in the rear if you go with the 235 tire.

 

not sure if you searched, but I found this on a thread from back in the day

Here's a chop



And here is the thread i found by searching RDX in the TWS forum
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...&highlight=RDX

 

After some more searching, i found this in the black market..this is the chrome version on the newer accord, but they look pretty damn good





Here's the thread to his BM sale
https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/19-rdx-wheels-almost-new-tires-753731/

 

Yea I saw the accord pics but I never found that chop. The accord has really small sidewalls..dunno if I could go that small.
Yea they look damn good..can't wait til they get here and spring rolls around so I can get some pics up. I wish the silver finish were as cheap as the chrome so I coulda bought those but for 500 NIB I'll take chrome!!

 

these rdx wheels were my 1st choice until i learned that the specs on the HFPs were a perfect fit for the 2nd gen...55 offset and 19x8..sits in the fenders perfect..no rub and perfect tire wear..so i went HFP..these are 45 offset..not bad, but not oem offset (55)..the accord has smaller sidewalls probably based on the simple tire calculator to keep the overall diameter the same as his stock tire/wheel diameter..he could of probably gone 235.35.19, but not sure what his setup was

 

there on sale at a local acura right now for $500.00 for a set

 

^ where??

I just got my rims on Tuesday!! I wish it was spring so I could actually put them on cuz I don't wanna put them on now that winter is coming down on us and risk ruining them so soon. But it'll just gimme more time to get money for tires
I'll post some pics when I finally git 'er all set up and pretty lookin

 

can you jack up one side just to show us how big the wheel is on the car?

 

is it on there site ? i checked out the site couldnt find anything
or did you call the parts department?

 

It was on there site, my friend works in the parts dept. and said there still on sale

 

I am a noob, so excuse me if this is a bad question. Is there any place on the site that I could cross-reference a consolidated list of which OEM wheels from other acura models are interchangeable with an '03 TL?

 

^ Just look for wheels with the same bolt pattern and they will fit. For how well they'll fit..well that's harder. Offset and width both play a role in how well they'll fit in the fender and whether you will rub or not. On the first page of Tires, Wheels, Suspension, there's a stickied thread that explains more.
