Aspec 18x7.5 50 offset, how to fit with brembos?

I have a 2004 Acura TL with brembos and just got a killer deal on these, what spacers would i need to have them fit?

If they are real Aspecs they are a +45 offset and they fit fine, why wouldnt they? That means a +50 would have even more of a gap

A 50 will be in further. Than the 45 .. You sure they are from a TL? I thought a TL had 8" wide wheels.

Must be TSX A-Specs since the RSX A-Specs were 17x7.5.

Jesstzn is correct, a +50 will be more sunk in than a +45, so a larger spacer will be required. The exact size is something I don't know though.

Yeah I found out these are the tsx ones. The owner i bought it from had a tl as well but didn't have the brembos. I didn't realize they were 7.5 width and not sure which spacers I need

Thought they were +55, but if hitting or too close, need @ 3mm clearance between caliper and wheel, place washers over the studs until the 3mm caliper clearance is obtained. The total thickness of the washers would equate to the spacer width needed, but if more than 5mm then a spacer with studs would be needed, or longer studs.

Actually to keep the outer part of the wheel in the same location as the stock wheels, you'd need a 11mm spacer if +50, 16mm if +55, so maybe this may be the way to go.

I have these wheels on my second gen tl they are 18x7.5 +55 offset. I saw another member had him on his six speed and he had to run a 15mm spacer in the front and he ran a 20mm spacer in the rear

Get a set with pressed in studs. Whatever brand you get, make sure they have hubcentric rings of 64.1mm and the correct bolt pattern.

^That's what I have. The spacer themselves are great, but the nuts are made out of a very soft metal and are prone to stripping when being torqued down or removing.
