Hi,
I was wondering if any of you know if the 18in RLX OEM wheels will fit the SH? I am mostly concerned with them clearing the brake caliper, because on the SH it's a dual piston caliper and the disk is larger. I need to order snow tires, and would rather go with 18s.

Thank you.

It has previously been reported that, not only the 18 inch rims but 17 inch rims will clear the calipers and fit just fine. I have noticed that the temporary spare tire that I purchased is mounted on a 17 inch rim.

Look for a thread titled: Sport Hybrid "beta tester" report: Winter driving.

A member "Timmins" reported driving his Sport Hybrid with snow tires in a 225/55-17 size. Since that is the size of snow tires I used with my RL, I was hoping to use the same tires and rims as my winter set for my Sport Hybrid. Just FYI.

See my other post on this (posted today), but the short answer is yes. I'm very glad I "downgraded" to the 18 inch wheels (although I bought mine from tire rack and had the dealer install them).

I am looking to downgrade stock 19" wheels from my 2016 RLX to 18" wheels from 2014/2015 RLX base edition. I noticed the TPMS part number is different between the two. Is it safe to assume the 2014 TPMS sensors will work with my 2016 RLX when paired with 18" base RLX wheels?

Easily. I use 18s on both my winter and summer sets of tires on my 2018 SH AWD. And I think some 17s will fit too. Keep an eye on the offset of the wheels though. Acura and BMW seem to use similar offset, but it is quite different than other manufacturers. ET50 is standard, I think? The inside of the OEM rim has it stamped. if you are ordering new from say, Tire Rack, their website should let you know what fits.

Here are 17's on the wife's RLX SH for winter tires. Fit like a glove.
