depends on rims and offsets??[/QUOTE]

Still shopping the CV1's but vossen in 19x10 all around

Probably will be fine.... tires are tall as you know and will throw off speedo a little and it will look a lil 4byish

What do u mean by 4byish

TripAcez

He means your car will be fairly high off the ground, you figure your running stock height, moving up to 18's and a 45 series tires will make it fairly higher so 4x4(4by-ish) is what he meant lol. Again you should be fine though, honestly i'd say do a 40 series at least

this is my buddies car hes sponsored by stance rims look like the vossens but i like the finish option better and hes running 20x10F and 20x10.5R

SC-5...i was just drooling over them earlier lol

So how do you feel about 10's up front?

ChiCity

2008 tls

19x9.5 et +45 (front)
19x11.5 et +9 (rear)

This is just an option I considered for a new setup. Now my question is what body work would I have to do for the rears to fit (pulling or rolling the fenders, or both). I'm looking for a tuck or a flush look but no poking, unless I have no choice with this setup. And please recommend what tire size I would need to run with to make this fitment work for the rears only. Please and thank you!!

murph145

I think 10's might be doable.... dont take my word lol ... what offset for the front if 10" wide?

murph145

with the front you are ok I believe... im running 9.5" +28 front and its flush and im running a 225/35 tire.

the rears now thats just ridiculous lol that size rim is for like a wide body car like a g35.... no way you can make a 11.5" +9 fit without adding another 1"+ of fender to your car like viptl or decafe has done.... my rear spec is flush and no extra body work other than grinding off all the inner metal fender liner in the rear.

Im looking at buying some 18x10 +45 with 15mm spacers all around. What tire sizes would you guys recommend?

TripAcez

He emailed back, told me the offsets are +38 for the 10's

c_wake

05 TL Automatic Navi
Tenzo Type M 18x8 +45mm
BFG G-Force sport 235/40/18
would this be a better looking fit instead of 245/45/18

ChiCity

Oh alright thanks for that info. Now what about 19x10.5 et+19. What would I need to do to run that setup. and what tires would make this work? Thanks in advance.

murph145

^ you could make that work you would have to run like a 245/35/19 rear tire and run like -5 camber if your low like I am...

murph145

id say 235/40/18

that might work out just fine


yes that is what would work best

Questions on Wheels
Wheel Make/Model: Varrstoen ES 2.2.1
Wheel Size: 18x9.5"
Wheel Offset: +12
If lowered (amount): 2"/1.75" F/R
Tire Size: 235/40
Fenders Rolled: Yes

Currently I'm running 5Zigen ZR+520's in 18x8.5 +25 with no issues at -1º camber. Varrstoen says I would have to run a +12 offset in order to clear the Brembos on my 6MT. I was hoping to be able to run the +30 offset, but oh well. That being the case, I'm wondering how much camber I'm going to need to run in order to not rub.

hey guys, was wondering if 06 honda pilot rims will fit my 2g tl?

Hey guys, Have been lurking for a while, have yet to post. Not new to the motorsports world, but new to the Acura world...

I went through quite a few pages and a few searches and I am having a problem locating an answer to my question, so I figured I'd throw in the towel and post.

2008 Acura TL Type-S 6MT, Air pressure sensors, stock ride height, looking for a winter wheel and tire combo.

What's the smallest wheel and what are anybodies suggestions out there for tire sizes? I'm assuming you can't run a smaller size than 18, but maybe you guys can help me with that? If there are a ton of threads on this topic, I apologize in advance, but I am having a hard time drilling down to anything that's specific to what I am looking for.

Just looking for a seperate set of winters/snows, so not looking to break the bank on a set that's only going to ride out a few months a year.

Thanks,
J

What about 3rd gen BASE TL wheels?

mjkst89

Can someone please help me out.. I recently purchased a set of Blizzak snow tires, mounted to Rial rims.. the tire size is 215/55/R16. I took them to a shop this weekend and the mechanic told me they would not fit my car? I bought these from an owner who previsouly had them on an 04 TL. I have an 06 TL/Manual/Nav. Any ideas?

murph145

You will need a camber kit up front and out back.... not sure what camber you will need to run because it just all depends on how low you are.... If I were you id run a 225/40/18 tire ... way less rubbing on this set up.... you will have the most issues up front trying to make a 9.5" wide rim with a +12 work..... backs wont be too bad.

Dont they offer a +22 offset??

murph145

They won't fit because you have the brembo brakes up front.

murph145

Yes I would just get another set of the 3G base tl rim and throw some snow tires on there and you will be set

wtf8269

I have camber kits front and rear right now. I'm dropped about 2" in the front and 1.75" in the rear (during the summer anyway), and as mentioned before all four fenders are rolled. I was hoping to be able to reuse my 235/40's and not have to run more than -2º or maybe -2.5º camber. They offer a +22 but they say that won't fit over the brembos with the 2.2.1.

murph145

crazy i thought the +22 offsets fit over the brembos.... maybe ask them how much of a spacer would be needed to make them fit over the brembos.... if you could simply run a 3 or 5mm spacer on a +22 then it will be a lot more doable than a +12. I am running a 9.5" wide rim with a 225 tire and top of tire is hidden under my fender and i rub on sharp turns when coming in and out of driveways and my offset is a +29 with natural -1.5 camber. with a plus 12 up front you would need to run a 225 it makes a huge difference and you would need to run like -4 camber if your lowered like me.

I think I'm just going to settle for powder coating my 5Zigens black. Thanks for the replies.

Question on Brembo/Big Brake Clearance
Transmission (Manual or Auto): Auto
Year/Trim (04-07, Base or Type S): 07/Type S
Wheel Make/Model: TSW Nurburgring
Wheel Size/Offset: 18 x 8.5 +45 OR 18 x 9.0 +32
If lowered (amount): A Spec suspension

I will be running a 245/40/18 tire size. If I'm understanding this correctly, either wheel will clear the Brembo brakes without the need of a spacer and tire size above will not rub with an A Spec drop. Right?

Which option will push the wheel out towards the fender more than the stock wheels?

murph145

^ you sir are correct I believe both should clear the brembos as well.

if you want to be "more" flush than stock go with the 18"x9" option you should be fine

Will these rims fit? i dont mind if i have to roll or pull the fenders a little. Will the setup be reasonable with the race springs even though i carry 1 or 3 passengers from time to time. Any front issues?
I do plan to go coils but not as of the moment might go with springs since i can afford em as of now.

Are these 19" rims or 18" the tire and rim sizes dont line up.

Anyways a 9.5" wide rim with a +20 offset and a 225 wide tire will work fine in the back with some natural camber from being lowered and rolling or cutting the rear fender inner tab.

The fronts can work too but will be more aggressive since the front has a narrower area to work with than the rear rim area of the car. I am running a 19"x9.5" +28 offset in the front with a 225/35/19 tire and I rub when turned sharp and hitting a dip or going into a drive way. It will probably be ok but just know it will rub in the front under tight turns while coming in and out of driveways etc...

coils would be best to get the perfect ride height but springs will do

Anytime


You should be perfectly fine and should run a 235/40/18 tire

hammy1983

thanks Murph
thats what I was thinking but I always second guess myself... sometimes for a good reason

wtf8269

Okay so I asked about the 3.3.1's (the CE28n knock offs) and they said a 18x9.5+22 will clear the Brembos. Do you think these would clear the fenders with rolled fenders, 235/40's, ~2" front/~1.75" rear drop, and around -2º camber?

My math says these wheels should stick out 16mm (~5/8") more than my 5Zigens. The Varrstoens are 9.5", that's 1" wider than the 5Zigens and only .5" of that is on either side. So the extra poke of the wheel should all be tire stretch. This is what makes me think -2º camber (maybe even less) should be okay. I just want a second opinion on the matter.

Here's a few reference pictures of how my car sits with its summer stance (2"/1.75" F/R drop, -1º camber all around):

^car is sitting nice dude

i need some help guys. finally found some rims but i dont know if its going to fit without modification. elementwheels.com says its "guaranteed" to fit but i want another opinion. should i go with the wider tires on the back since its a wider rim, or is there not much difference?

Eurotek 06
20x8.5 (Front)
20x10 (Rear)
+45 offset

If lowered (amount):
not yet, but probably 1.5" in front and 1" in rear


(245/30-20) Front
(255/30-20) Rear??

murph145

The rear will be fine with a fender roll and a 235/35/19 but i wouldn't run anything bigger than a 225/35/19 in the front.

murph145

do you have brembos up front??

i think you are fine with that set up and could even go with a 265 back tire if you arent going to run spacers to make those rims more flush.

nmso4

no, its just a base 2004 TL.

I did research on wheels from the same company and they fit, But spacers were required since they he had bremo's. On a stock TL, these wheels should clear right? I'm sorry just wanted to make sure. Plus I was wondering if anyone had any tire recommendations on theses on a stock tl.
