18" A Spec wheels

Did Acura produce different diameter wheels for the 18" A Spec wheels? On ebay there are some sellers offering 18"x7.5 others selling 18"X8. They all "claim" their wheels are OEM ACURA, condition NEW (not refurbished) I'm looking at BLACK CHROME wheels (not the reg PVD CHROME)
I have a set of new 245 45 18 tires, from what I read as long s the offset is 45 or higher I should have no problem mounting on either 7.5 or 8.
But want to make sure I can mount my tires on either 7.5 or 8 before I buy.
Any thoughts?

7.5 were made for the TSX...not sure of the offset, but if it is any higher than 45 I would avoid putting them on a TL. Then again, I wouldn't do a 7.5 rim either.

Also, that's not the correct sidewall for our cars, your speedo will be off. You would want a 235 40 18 to match stock as close as possible. I run a 245 40 18 tho and its fine.

I believe the TSX A-Specs are 18x7.5 +55. Not worth the money IMO.

Yea, I was pretty sure of the same thing. Even with big ass spacers they would only look ok at best. OP, I would just look at 18x8 or 8.5 for these, you don't want to run the TSX rims.
