Do I need spacers or hub centrics or anything? 18" rims on 06 TL

I just ordered 18" Speedy Lite-7 rims with Nitto Neo Gen tires 225/40/18. Should I get spacers or hub centrics or anything? If I don't get anything else, will they look flushed with the fender and quarter panel?

It is an 2006 Acura TL base with no mods.

You'll need to list the wheel width, offset, and also center bore size so as a determination can be made. Why such a narrow tire, 225?

you are missing a lot of info there for us to answer your question. How wide are the wheels and what is the offset.

google "offset" and then find out what it is on the wheels (probably stamped on the back of the spokes or something. Then post it here and we can tell you if they fit or if you need spacers or not. And I am guessing these wheels are 7.5" wide, just a hunch, and they won't be flush with the fenders. And yes you will need hubcentric rings as all of the aftermarket ones do.

The SPEEDY Lite-7 is available in size(s) 17x7 and 18x7 .


7" is way to narrow for a TL .. stock is 8"

I wouldn't go with them at all at 7"

Sorry ..

They will be far from flush without spacers. Even with the largest spacer I don't think you'll be flush

You ordered the wheels before figuring out if they are going to be flush? That's a big no-no.

I'm hoping for his sake they aren't 7" wide like the site I found says.
