So I went to iforged.com and im planning on ordering some Aero's 19x8.5, this would be very easy process but sine I have Brembo breaks it kinda makes life a lil more difficult. On the order sheet (2nd page found on iforged.com, under the ordering tab) its asking me these questions...

Wheel information:

Front wheels
Style:
Size:
Finish:
Offset:

Rear wheels
Style:
Size:
Finish:
Offset:

Do you have a big break system? that would be yes but after that question would be this question: if yes, who's the manufacturer and rotor diameter? I think brembo but I dont know what the rotor diameter is.

Can anyone help me out with this info?
or where I can this info (maybe theres a sticker somewhere in the car with this info)

I have a NHB 05 TL Manual with no upgrades, such as:
A spec or winter tires or anything from acura factory
just the basic wheels with basic tires I beleive there the 5 spoke silver acura wheels....

With this said what do you guys think of Iforged Aeros 19x8.5 (staggered) with the face colored flat black (not to be confused with glossy black) with the chrome lip? remember the car's black...Please let me know your opinions.

Thanks for whatever help you can give me.

8.5" is too wide for the TL.

Diameter won't matter, since you know for sure that the stock 17"s clear the rotors and the calipers. Since you're going for 19"s, no need to worry.

As for the offset, the stock ones are 17x8 45+. Since you're going for 8.5, you will need 51 or (numerically) lower offset. 8.5 51+ would put the outer edge at the same location as the stock setup, which we know for sure that clear the calipers.

However, caliper clearance mostly depends on the spoke design, too. So it's hard to tell. It's a bitch, plain and simple. Just call them up and tell them that you have 17x8 45 offset stock wheels with OEM Brembo calipers, and I'm sure they will be able to help you. If not down to the last millimeter, but they will be able to give you a good guess at what would work safely on your car.

Wrong section, btw. This is the 2G TL section.

He has an '05 6M.

My mistake, I didn't read his full post. He should have posted in the 3rd gen forum !!

oops sorry about that, thanks for the info though...appreciated it.

if that is the stock setup, go to acura.com or your manual for the specs. front brembos are 12.2" while the (regular) rears are 11.1".

you should also measure the thickness of your brembo caliper. by this, i mean the height/protrusion from the surface of the disc to the side of the caliper where it says brembo. also measure from the radius from the center to the point of the closest edge of the caliper and then the farthest edge. this helps determine the type of wheel face design you need to clear them. you can measure the rears too in this fashion.

stock specs are 8" wide with a +45mm offset. i don't know these specs for the 3rd gen so pop in that forum to figure it out. you should be able to go wider but tire size and amount of lowering (if any) should be taken into consideration.

No problem. It's just that you'll get more help when posted in the correct forum.
