I think they would. The Nakayama Vador (hyper black finish) looks exactly like the rims for the 04 TL A-Spec (except for the Acura symbol on the center cap). What do you guys think? Should I get the Nakayama Vador's (huggin on some 215/45-18 Michelin Pilot Sports) for my Nighthawk Black TSX?

Here's a pic of the Nakayama Vador.

question is will a 215 fit on the rim thats designed for a 235? and also will the TL's rim offset fit on the tsx

Actually, the Nakayama Vador is 18 x 7.5. So the 215/45-18 will be fine for it. The offset of the rim is 45.

You might experience slight rubbing on bumps, if you are not dropped....If you are dropped, you probably just need to cut the fender tab and you will be good to go....btw...i like those rims...one of my choices back in the day....but i went with the RH C5's(may they Rest In PEace)

oops i need to read a little closer. i thought you ment you wanted the 04 tl rim. oops. i think that rim would be sweet on the tsx!

that's the exact rim I'm probably gonna put on my a-spec. I'm throwing on a good winter tire, and then next year gonna pick up these rims and get 18 inch tires too.

what do you guys suggest as a good winter tire on the stock rim, 215/50/17?

I just had Dunlop Sport M2's install on my A-Spec stock rims. I picked them up at Tire Depot. They are on Doncaster just north of Steeles - east off Yonge.

how much did you pay for them? are they the correct size for that rim??? how are they so far?

The Winter Sport M2 cost $207.00/ea plus tax - installed. I chose these tires because they did fit the rims, they are 205/50/17's. I wanted the Pirelli 210 Snowsports because they also will fit our rims, but they weren't shipping to Canada. So, far so good - I raced a Type-S and an RSX down Avenue Rd this morning - they grip quite well are relatively quiet for snow tires.

Check this survey for a bit of reassurance.

And Nakayama Vador is 18 X 7.5....... The largest tire & wheel Combo I've seen for sale on the Nakayama 18" Vador wheels are 225's (225/35-18)**24.2 total diameter......................I think the 235 come on the 04 TL A-Spec (235/40-R18 95W)**25.4 total diameter
So, the New 04 TL A-Spec tire and wheel combo is about an inch taller than the Nakayama 18" wheel with 225/35-18 tire.
