TSX wheel on TL-S - fit?
Hi,
I tried Tire Rack and Discount Tire and came up with different answers - that is why I'm coming to the experts.
My 02 TL-S has 17x6.5 wheels 65 offset (centerbore?) and the 06 TSX has 17x7 with 55 offset with a centerbore of 64.1mm.
Will it fit with the car loaded?
Thanks!

No the car is very stock - I would like to replace as the weels have become pretty ugly in the weather. I have read that the CL-S will fit on the TL-S which would tell me that a 17x7 should go on a 17x6.5. I am just a bit concerned about offset.
Thanks all for your help with this one.

cls wheels are 7 while tls wheels 6.5
tsx wheels are 17x7 with a 55 offset, same as stock.
should be plug and play really.
btw cls wheels look hot, but are hard to come by.

I used to run aftermarket wheels with a 17 X 7 +45 setup and I didn't have any problems with rubbing (keep in mind that I was lowered also).

Assuming the offset is the same with the TL-S and TSX then the diff is the wheel with of an additional .5 inches. DO you see this as a problem with strut or caliper rubbing?

This is what derrick has to say with regards to 2g wheel fitment:

When purchasing rims for a car, there are several specifications to ensure a good 'fit'.
1) rim size
2) rim width
3) offset
4) bolt pattern
Rims range from 16" to 19" for our cars. Any smaller and they won't clear the OEM calipers. Any larger and you will have issues with 'rubbing'. I'm sure someone will say, "I got [XX] size to fit", but seriously -- look at their setup and most will not find that look very appealing.
Rim width and offset go hand-in-hand. Depending on your rim width, you have to watch the offset. The wider the rim, the higher the offset (so it doesn't rub up against the wheel well or plastic tabs of the fender when you hit a bump).
Our TL/TLS come with 6.5" rims with +55 offset, made my Enkei. General rule (but not always the case since there is some variation among manufacturers):
7" rim = +42 offset
7.5" rim = +45 offset
8" rim = +48 offset
> 8.5" rim ... forget it unless you wanna do some custom bodywork for it to fit.
This is only a guideline, not an end-all, be-all. Those who have done suspension work may have to find a higher offset than that posted to make sure their application will not have any problems.
Lastly, bolt pattern -- our cars have 5x114.3JJ bolt pattern. Luckily, many rim manufacturers make this bolt pattern but offset will be your limiting factor.
