Do they fit exactly to our TL? or do u have to adapt spacers and hub hole adapters to it?

My car is not lowered yet. Got the stock suspension.. Will they fit without any problems???

kimacuratl

sorry for the newby question.. What are the offsets??? 35 and 45?? do you refer to the wheels or tires by the offsets? and what should I get??

I had the exact questions above so don't feel to bad.

I do know that offset is the distance from the inline center of the wheel to where the wheel mounts to the car. Wheels that look really deep are low or even negative offsets or ones that are really shallow are high positive offsets. The acura from what I read is supposed to be 40mm-45mm offset which is why this wheel confuses me at 35mm offset.

Scroll down a little and there's a pic to show what offset is.


If no one answers us sooner or later I'll have the answer as I plan to visit the Jaz shop in a week or so. Hopefully someone here will help us too.

Thanks for the reply rasutton.. That is a very helpful information.
But do we need spacers and all that s...t to put this wheels??

ed99

If you drive a 5AT like myself, spacers are not needed. I am running 35mm offset and they are perfect as they line up flush with the car. 45mm offset will set the wheels inside the wheel well more. However, if you have a 6MT then I wouldn't know if these wheels will clear your Brembo breaks.

Thanks Ed99. Is there too much difference between them?
19-8.5 45mm
19-9 35mm??

Is this correct or for the 19-8.5 there are 2 different offsetS??

And what tires do you recommend? 245-35-19 is fine?

Nandito28

WOW!

I just saw your pics...side point of views, for some reason my computer didn't let me see them before....

Man oh Man, you must feel proud when your walking up to your car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and that drop just makes it unbelievable!

your the only one I've seen around here with 19"s and that low!!!

I just wish I coulda seen the pics earlier...

!!!!!!

edsonfire

pittsburgh pisses me off cuase i want some 19's or 20's soooo bad after seein these pics but with the roads here, theyd be bent in a day so im stuck with the 18's, which still look good with my 2'' drop but i still want a bigger wheel and be tucked like these pics!

....longest sentence ever!

havenlock

I bent one of my 19's on my S4 in a week here in the 'Burgh

ed99

This helps me make my tire decision. I am ordering my tires tomorrow and I am going to get 245x35x19!

ed99

245 is the perfect tire to go with. However, if you are running 35mm offset and planning in lowering more than 2inches you might run into a little problem rubbing in the front. Not a big problem but just a heads up. However the make of the tires do make a difference too as some tires are more squared off than others.

Do you know if these are reverse mount wheels?

man, those rims look hot! this gets me unsure on which rims I should get
good lookin car

ed99

Twigglius,

Sorry what are reverse mount wheels??

Say did you get your 19's yet??


Shayan,

What kind of wheels are you planning in getting?

twigglius

iTrader: (6)

Reverse mount rims are mounted in reverse. This makes the tire stick out slightly further on the outside than the inside. I did get my 19x8.5's last week with Toyo T1-R 235x35x19's. I have not put them on yet because I want the suspension to settle for a few more days. I plan on getting the wheels put on and then going to get an alignment the same day. The other reason for the wait was I wanted to buy 1 TPMS sesor to see if it worked with the multi piece wheels and it does. I should have the wheels on the car later this week. I will be taking pics very soon and posting them.

Nice lookin' ride! Very clean indeed, and seems like you got the perfect height dropped too aswell.

ed99

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I am thinking of maybe selling these wheels soon and going 20's possibly!!!!

I have been thinking the same thing for the past month or so.

Do they fit 6 speed Calipers???? I would definetly be interested. Let me know ed.

ed99

Twigglius,

Haha...we think very much alike..

What kind of 20's are you eyeing towards?


dooky211,

Sorry I don't think they will clear your brembos. Some other member wanted to buy the same wheels with 6MT and was told they won't fit???

onebad04

Very good looking car. Thinking about going to 20's on mine now. Wife is gonna kill me....

That is one perfect drop. NICE wheels. Very clean look. Look like the Rays Lexion Type 203

FiveLiterCheater

Ah, those are really nice. Speaking of the Lexion 203's....i've been trying to get a set for the past 2 months...can't find anyone that has them in stock

ed99 - these GFG wheels are pretty fuckin tuff... Too bad they are $1,200 per wheel in 20's. It's the Baghdad 5 if you wana check them oot!

ed99

Dam those rims looks hot..but too rich for my blood.

I was thinking of getting some black rims with chrome lips in 20's with staggered set up.

BurnSomeCds

Nice lookincars guys. My Nsx (stock at the moment) looks so bored out compared to the TL's u guys have up here. Keep postin' pics...love to chek 'em out.

ed99

I am selling these wheels now.

Here is the link to the Black Market.

damn like the deep dish..

S14 n Tsx

sad! whats your next rims going to be?

ed99

20's!!! ...will post pics once the wheels are here.

I am wondering if I can get away running on 20's with my aggressive lowering. Hope I won't have any rubbing issues. I have already cut off the rear piece of the A-spec kit to prevent the rubbing.

S14 n Tsx

I'm not a expert on that but with 20's and dropped that much? you will have some rubbing issue. You might have raise the car little bit but still will look good.

ed99

I was thinking about raising the car but probably keep it the way it is and see what happens with the 20's on it. Don't want to adjust the suspension 2x's. Too lazy...LOL!!! But I am crossing my fingers that it won't rub so I don't have to adjust the height.

Is adjusting the suspension that hard? I just got my Teins put in and I havent had a chance to adjust them (to cold here)
