i see some people put 15 mm spacers.... But i also read some did 15 infrotn and 20 in the back... What is the best option?could someone confirm if 15 all around is good or the other option with these rims? Also car is stock, so no drop (yet)

You can really do either setup. I personally had the 15 front, 20 rear setup until I swapped out my tires. I went from 235 Nittos to 245 Continentals and I was rubbing like crazy with just an aspec drop. Therefore I swapped the 15 mm to the back and I have another set of 15 awaiting installation for the front.

Cool,so 15 all around is probably the best bet it sounds like... Thanks

Where did you all get these. I tried looking on ebay, but I never saw any sets as cheap as some of you picked them up for. Also looked on some OEM parts places and they are still 300 or so apiece.

The $500-$550 sets are all long gone. It was some sort of clearance sale.

The best deal I've seen recently was a set for $700 shipped. The seller is yourkeylessremote on eBay.

Ya, I saw that tonight. I just was hoping to get them from a dealership so I knew I was getting legit products.

I bought a second set from them a few months ago. They are legit, exactly the same as the dealer wheels except that they don't come with the MDX TPMS sensors. Those don't work with the 3G TL anyway so it isn't a huge deal.

15mm spacers are needed to clear the brembo's. And I also put 20mm spacers in the rear.

Thanks for the photos, been thinking about painting my rims, but still deciding the color. Love the blue, not sure about the white. Are those powder coating??

It is painted plastidip. So that way the finish isn't permanent

Are you at stock camber specs after the drop? Do you think with 235/35, rolled fenders, and 25mm spacers, you'd have the same clearance you do now?

I'm planning on ordering both spacers and wheels today, but we'll see what happens.

The flush thread states that will work for sure, but I want my camber back at factory specs after I drop it 2" or so.

Nice stance! Always loved these wheels but gave up trying to find a set of them at a decent price.
