^ you can install the 07/08 type s lip... it has been done, you will have to fiddle around w/ the fogs to make them work, you can also use accord sedan fogs (05 I believe), just without the the plastic covers

Front tires are incorrect
Rear tires are too wide

The wheels themselves fit, but w/ the correct tires
I'd run 235/30-20 front
And 255/30-20 rear

Might need to roll rear fenders either way

04-06 Aspec Lip Kit are all the same (only color variations)

You can also fit the 07-08 Type S Lip Kit w/ minor mods

Do you still talk to egonz? i read the thread but i need specific tips on the mods he did for the vents to make the type s lip kit fit. Will putting in HID fogs be difficult? and also will it look good if i didn't add on the side skirts and rear end that goes with the type s kit?

thanks =]

on aim now and again
there's some trimming required, nothing major... as for the fogs, they come with brackets, you can easily throw them in, hid fogs are easier to put in than standard halogen bulbs, the part thats tricky to some is the rellay with a switch near the "vsa" button... the accord kit for the 05 sedan comes with pretty much everything you need should you go that $60 route

if you have further questions feel free to pm

The struts and springs
For the brake calipers, you will require the knuckle aswell

I'd like to know if the Enkei EKM3 18"x 8" +45 with 235/40ZR18 S Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus would clear. The suspension is stock.

And also which would fit the best the RonJon Legends 19" x 8" +32 or +48 with 235/40ZR19 S Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus again also stuck suspension.

Thanks again in advanced!

and would any of these require hub ring?

19x8 +32 is a better looking fit... tires should be 235/35-19

the enkei's require hub rings... the ronjons dont

side mirrors: you will need to run 1 wire for the signals to work, aside from that it's a direct fit

foglights: I'd say about the same custom work required

I have three questions:

I have winter tires off my G35 which is a staggered winter setup (235/50/17(rear), 225/50/17 (front)) fit my stock 17 inch Aluminum TL rims and would it be healthy for the car to do so?

If no,

If i purchase another pair of 235/50/17s or 225/50/17 (which pair would be better?) to get rid of the staggered fit, Would it fit my 2007 Acura TL with no problem, especially in the winter would it be fine?

Right now i have 235/45/17 stock tires on the car..

Third question:
Since the tires i had on my G35 were high performance winter tires (paid 1200$ for tires!!) and if i have to buy another pair of winter tires (if a staggered setup doesn't work) does it have to be the same kind of winter tires or can i pickup a pair of cheaper winter tires and mix em up?

Thanks so much in advance!!

Cheers.

winter is a temporary setup... if you are on a budget run what you got
the 50 sidewall is actually too big but like I said if it is temporary you can get away with it... ur speedometer will not be accurate though.. which isn't a major big deal around plus or minus 5mph at 60mph

ps dont mix and match tires from different brands you will end up with extra noise you dont need

your tires are too wide
235/40-18 on the x9.5
245/40-18 on the x10.5

roll and pull fenders and needs negative camber
