Would these wheels work on the RDX?

I love the 20 inch TLX type S wheels

could I get these and put them on my RDX a Spec 2022?

they are 20 inch just like the current wheels, but on the TLX the tire side wall is 35 vs the 45 on the RDX. Same width.


would this look good?

The type s are nice, but the RDX wheels are gorgeous too. Get some nice aftermarkets then...
also, type in whatever car "hub bore and lug pattern" in google and it'll take you to all the specs to see what lines up.

If you want to show off your brakes, and make them way easier to clean, get a set of the 2022 RDX Advance standard 19” wheels, like these (not my pic):





If you find any takeoffs, please let me know, i have a Want To Buy ad in the classifieds.

You ask if you could put those wheels on your RDX, and yet you specify the aspect ratio of the tire is 35. That implies that you are going to install both the wheels and tires.

So in order to know if they would be a good replacement, you should provide the full size specs of the tire. Even though the rim size might both be 20", the tire size can could be a different radius. That may cause clearance problems, and change the overall gearing ratio.

If the gear ratio changes, it will affect acceleration, fuel economy, speedometer accuracy, and maybe a few things I can't think of.

Go to https://tiresize.com/calculator/, and click on the "Tire Comparison" tab. Enter your original tire size, as well as the new tire size. If the "circumference" error is less than 3%, then you should be able to use them.

EDIT: If you like the TLX wheels, your current RDX tires should fit them.

If you like the TLX Type S wheels you should consider the Enkei TSR-X wheels (https://enkei.com/shop/wheels/tuning/tsr-x/). Similar style and they'll fit. I have the Gloss Bronze in 20x9.5 on my RDX.
