I just ordered a set of 18x9.5 +20 Miro 398 rims for my 2007 Acura TL Type s. I was originally thinking that the +20 would clear the Brembos, but have any of you actually had those same specs on the brembo brakes?

How do I post the picture itself and not just the link?

 

To post pics, just copy/paste the IMG code in the text box.

There's someone here that has those rims but I'm not sure exactly who.

 

those Miro's are TE37 reps.
a lot of people have TE37 reps.

here is my set of TE37's in 18x9.5 +22

 

Not sure exactly how they compare to varrstoen es2, but I know the es2 9.5 +22 requires a 7mm spacer to clear.

 

here's a pic showing that it clears the Brembo calipers.

 

good shit, Kurt. I didnt know that.
must be because of the lip.

the te37s dont really have that deep lip.

 

so the real te37 clear the brembos, but will these miro replicas of the te37 clear?

 

^the miros and the varrestoen have a lip!
Kurt said that the varrestoene's need a 7mm spacer to clear the brembo with the +22.

 

So I don't know about the Miros, but VarrsToens need the spacers, real deal TE37s don't.

On a mostly unrelated note, my ES2s that are 19x8.5 +35 up front need a spacer to clear as well. Not sure exactly how big, but I do know that my 15mm spacer works just fine.

 

Once they get here ill test fit them. I'm assuming if I have to use spacers that the fronts will poke badly being 18x9.5 +20. That's not what I wanted!

 

unfortunately...you're right about that. 9.5 +20 is already aggressive for up front. If you need spacers, you may want the skunk2 kit up front to try to pull them in a bit.

 

Does anyone know if nlmotoring will take returns because of this reason? I saw them on a guys base tl and they were 18x9.5 +35 and I loved the fitment. I was thinking that only 15 more mm wouldn't be a huge difference. But if i have to add spacers, I might be heading it a different route.

 

Justin, what size tires were u using?

 

i bought the wheels with 245/40/18s

there is a slight stretch, which i dont like.
I like my tires beefy.

but, cannot afford tires at the moment, so will run these cheap ass all seasons to the ground and then purchase a beefier summer tire later

 

So you would have went with what? 255/40/18? 245/45/18? I agree, I'm not going for the slammed look with stretched tires. I like the lowered, wide rims, and comfortable ride look.

 

yes, I'll step up to a 255 wide tire.

 

What are you lowered on?

 

BC coilovers.
i chose to stay at a "stock" looking ride height
