I've noticed that there is no such list on Acurazine that specifically states all lightweight/performance wheels that clear the factory Brembo brake calipers. This thread is dedicated SPECIFICALLY to wheels that will clear 3G TL models with the factory Brembo brakes. Please feel free to add to my list.

To keep things clean and simple, let's keep the chit-chat to a minimum on here and only post relevant information. Again, this is for BREMBO clearance, not fender clearance or clearance with the base calipers.

Please just copy the most recent list and follow the format with additional information. Post information in this order:

Brand / Model / Wheel Size / Offset / Weight / Link to picture on 3G w/ Brembos (if available)

Here we go:

Performance Wheels that Clear Brembos:
__________________________________________________
Acura A-spec wheels 18x8 +45 (~30lbs)
Acura TL type-s honeycomb wheels 17x8 +45 (24lbs)
Enkei RPF-01 17x9 +22 (16.75lbs)
Forgestar F14 18x9 +29 (22lbs)
Forgestar F14 19x8.5 +35 (????)
Forgestar F14 19x9 +25 (????) (picture)


Rules and Legend:
If you are unsure of the weight of the wheel, please highlight the weight in red font and hopefully someone on here who knows the actual weight will come on here and correct it.

Wheels that do not clear the Brembos will be highlighted in DarkOrchid font. This information will be useful to perspective buyers so that they know what size they can not fit.

Also, lets keep this list in alphabetical order in the case that this list becomes rather large. It will make the information on here a heck-of-a-lot easier to find.

HYPERLINK pictures, don't post photos on the list.

_________________________________________________
Hopefully somebody on here posts information about Weds Sport TC 105n wheel clearance over the Brembos. I'm hoping to get a set and it's one of the reasons I started this thread. The other reason I started this thread is:

IMPORTANT NOTE: This thread was created with performance in mind. It is up to the buyer of the wheels to decide if the wheel choice would benefit them or not. In my case, although my 17x9 +22 Enkei RPF1 wheels clear the Brembo calipers and are 9" wide, they are NOT the best performance benefit because I can not fit a tire with a section width larger than 235 over them. They clear the brakes, but fender modification is needed to clear the fenders. An ideal setup would have an offset closer to stock (+45) but with a wider-than-stock wheel width (8.5" or 9").

A 17x9 +22 wheel is too aggressive for performance gain because a wide tire can not be used with that particular wheel size. Contact with the fender will occur if a tire with a section width greater than 235 is used. I'm currently running 245/45-17 tires on my Enkei RPF1 wheels and they can NOT be taken to the track. The wheel comes in contact with the fender liner when I make sharp turns.

And if anybody knows a classy looking lightweight 17x9 or 17x8.5 wheel that clears the brembos with a similar-to-stock offset, PM me Let's keep this thread clutter-free.

Please quote the latest list and post specs on the wheel diameter. Believe it or not, wheel diameter actually matters a lot because it can change the spoke design on some wheels. One little difference in one parameter can mean all the difference between clearing the Brembos and not clearing the Brembos.

I have italicized your entries on the list because they do not include the wheel diameter. Once you post up all inclusive data, you may un-italicize the font

Oh and thanks for your contribution

Not sure how the quoting will work, do you want us to quote the entire post or just the list?
And when we add to the list, do we add below the quote or in the quote?

And as an aside, everyone should keep in mind that these wheels below clear, WITHOUT THE USE OF SPACERS.

Wow thanks a lot for adding to the list, Brian! You nearly doubled it!

And yes please use the quote function in order to carry on the hyperlinks and font colors from the previous posts into the newer posts. Simply add new entries into the list if you are sure the wheel will clear the Brembos WITHOUT SPACERS.

Brian's post is exactly how I intended this thread to continue.

Forgot to add losiglow's rpf1s, IMO they're the BEST performance wheels for the price on the TL, offset, width and weight are perfect for handling.

Also, I'm going to remove the wheels listed by Gen7Milan until there is a follow up support for the wheels he listed. I will gladly add them back to the list when support has been made. No offense, but I just want to make sure there is support to make sure we don't steer any members the wrong way. Thanks for the contribution, though!

Thank you for this thread, I know nothing about cars, all i know is that I would like to give my 06 TL 6spd a bit more pep and one of the ways I would like to do that is through making it lighter. (nothing extreme like some of you guys!)

How are the RPF 01's daily driveability? These seem to be my best choice for a lightweight wheel I just worry about their durability to daily driving on the streets.

Has anyone tried out the Advan RS 18x9's?

Anyhoo thanks again for this thread, this forum is a giant pool of knowledge and a great resource, also a good time killer while my deployment finishes up.

One more question, sorry but I am not knowledgeable on any of this =(.

Do all of these rims listed fit fine on a completely stock 3G TL? I just want a set of lightweight rims that look good enough and that I dont have to mod my car any further to fit them, just rims that fit fine on stock!

AnthraciteAspec

iTrader: (6)

RPF1 is your best choice for lightweight, affordable wheels. Just get them in 17x8 +35. Very similar fitment to stock, they will work fine with no issues.

From the first post...

Wheels that do not clear the Brembos will be highlighted in DarkOrchid font. This information will be useful to perspective buyers so that they know what size they can not fit.



This way the buyer knows what offset/size combo is the limit for fitment....

Correct! Ideally, I made this post so that buyers with Brembos know what WILL fit and what certainly will NOT fit.

wait a minute, Anil... do those clear the BREMBOS?!?! And there are no offsets!

That would be my buddy Aaron, aka Sharksbreath, and iirc he said that there is not much more room for a higher offset. Don't quote me on that though!

And as a reminder to everyone reading this thread:
This is a list of wheels that will clear the FACTORY BREMBO BRAKE CALIPERS. Many of the wheels on here DO NOT clear the FENDER without fender modifications (i.e. fender rolling, fender cutting, fender melting and fender shotgunning) My current wheels (Enkei RPF1 17x9 +22) required extensive fender rolling and several hundred rounds from my 12 gauge.

iTrader: (5)

^^^ Randy, I checked my spreadsheet and they did not have offset on them as they come in various offsets....they can be a very aggressive or even come in flat faced....

for example, I know Andy (gerzand) is running Motegi traklites on his Type S....The Weds TC105N range from 32 to 49 hence they will clear brembos....

XXR 527's are the TC105N reps....and i have seen couple Type S's running them

as I said, the spreadsheet that I have does not mention the offset....
