Do a search man. I have them and yes, you need the custom 45 offset. When you order the wheels (Discount Tire can get them), you must tell them you need 45 offset. 19x8 45offset. When ordered, Zenetti will then have the back side of the hub trimmed down to achieve the 5mm difference in offset you WILL need to make these fit good. I am on HR Sport Springs too.
Mine fit perfectly, slight fender tab trimming but they will work. i rolled my fenders, but didn't need to because I thought my camber kit would make the top of my wheels come out, but the wheels tucked in at the bottom and I have better clearance now.
Make sure you get hub centric rings too.

Have the machine shop trim them down to 45, that is what Zenetti does. There is plenty of "meat" left on the hub to do that..heck, they can maybe take it down to 48 offset, that would be even better. I love my Zenetti's! I wish I got a black TL, I would of got the Zenetti Five in Black with that chrome lip...hella tight!

I believe you need the 73mm to 64.1mm hub centric ring. Order the metal ones from www.discounttiredirect.com for about $15 a set. The metal ones will hold up better than the plastic ones. They are a MUST for our small hub sizes. Most aftermarket wheels have big hub circle openings and that will make your ride vibrate even with the most perfect wheel balance. When I first got mine, I almost put them back up for sale, then I gave the rings a shot and it rides smooth as glass now.

Damn, that was fast. Did you make sure to get the 45 offset! Whoever ordered them had to instruct Zenetti on that request since Zenetti sends them to a machine shop to shave them down. Their inventory is mainly the 40mm offset
Pretty soon, you'll be in our special little club.

It's not higher...optical illusion. If you got 235/35/19 for the 19s and you had the stock size TLs wheel/tires, the rolling diameter is exactly the same. The gap is more obvious now simply due to optical illusion. When you are driving, the downforce of wind pushes the car down a little bit, making the gap not as bad. When you are stopped and parked, that is when you really look 4x4 ish. But, the drop will really make a difference in handling and obviously apprearances. HR Sport 50103's are all you need!
Looking down the road once you get your springs, you may not need a camber kit right away, but I would recommend getting the Ingalls 38720 kit. My car was made in Dec 2002, but sold as an 03 model. Sometime in 2003, Acura TL 2nd Gens went through a slight suspension modification. Do a search on my username for 38720 and you'll see all the details on this. But the ingalls kits make alignments very easy and I am 100% in factory spec, even with that drop I have. Car rides better and tire wear is now normal. What I like about the Ingalls kit is that it has a solid design with the two new lower control arms. It actually brings the wheel straight up and down from the bottom, not pushing the wheel out from the top. So, it helps to avoid rubbing, at least it appears that way.
Can't wait to see the pics!
