2005 RL wheel fitment?

Folks,

Will the 2005 RL wheels fit properly on an 03 TL-P?

As far as I know, the bolt pattern and offset is the same, but the RL wheel is 8 inches wide vs. 6.5 inches wide for the stock TL wheel.

I'm ignorant when it comes to wheel fitment/measurement, so for anyone who knows, will this combo fit without any rubbing/balancing issues?

Thanks!

OK, I have confirmed that the 2005 RL wheels are 5x114.3 with an offset of 55 and a centerbore of 64.1, so this is all in line with the 2nd gen TL wheels.

However, the RL wheels are 8 inches wide - will this present any problems with rubbing?

+55 offset too high for a 8" wheel. +50 would be ideal.

Actually, the 2005 RL's lug pattern is 5x120mm NOT 5x114.3mm so they will not fit the TL
