Alright I just bought a set off ebay from Acura of Peoria
Chrome look, $560 shipped
Has anyone confirmed if 245 40 19 will fit?
I found a great deal at Tire Rack for Goodyears for $125 ea. and a mail in rebate for $40 with a purchase of 4.
Please fit!

Not sure if they'll fit.. I remember someone posted a picture of tires in that size, and the sidewall looked kinda tall... But they may fit. The 245/45-18 I test fitted rubbed on the fronts, but only because it was on a wheel with a more aggressive offset...
But dude... Why did you get Eagle RS-A
? Those are the crappiest tire I've ever run in my life.... They howl like a banshee when you take a curve even modestly fast, and they suck donkey ballz in the rain.... They are called Eagle cRap-SA tires for a reason....

I was the one who purchased these wheels for my 06 MT, yes you need 15mm to clear, Ichiba V2's install in about 15 minutes, piece of cake. I really didn't want 19's but the deal was too good to pass up. The dealer said they would fit and I didn't want to have to use spacers, so I returned them. a 245-40-19 will rub, you need a 35 series tire.
I'm going to Ron Jon's on Friday, looking at the raven black machined 18" Legends for my ASM

There is a difference is between 5AT vs. 6MT as the 6MT uses the brembo calipers.
and these wheels WILL CLEAR 6MT, you just have to purchase 15mm spacer.

Type-s and 6mt use the same brakes, will not fit without 15mm spacers. installed my spacers on the rear just to kick out the back a bit, make it look more rear wheel drive and they thump a bit, hub-centric yes, would I use them on the front ? no !
im gonna get some for me SSM

You guys would be surprised on where to get deals. I checked everywhere today for some Goodyear Eagle GT's and everywhere I looked wanted $180+ per tire. Tirerack was decent at $165 each but the shipping and the tax kills it. So I know my guys at my local Acura dealer very well and I talked them into getting me a set for cost, $600 for all four! Don't underestimate dealers!

A little tip I've learned from being in the car business (I'm a dispatcher for a car hauling transport company) is never tell the truth! Lol so what if it's frowned upon sometimes, but every man for themselves! I told Acura that I found those tires online for $130 each but I would rather do business with them because we have a good working relationship together. It worked, in fact it worked out to be $500 cheaper than the cheapest local tire store! Win!

So to everyone who has the RDX's mounted already (mine are still in the mail) do you want, or wish or already have spacers on them to make them more flush? That's the only gripe I foresee having when I mount these up. The little things annoy the shit out me lol.

Also, any rubbing problems on lowered cars at all? I'm probably going to want to lower it a little bit with the new rims to avoid having an Acura monster truck.
I'm thinking a very very modest drop like the Eibach Pro-Kit. Any thoughts?

No rubbing and im dropped on Neuspeed supercup kit... Overall, im very happy with the outcome but sometimes i do wish i had spacers on. But thats just me... At some point when i start getting bored again, i'll consider them.

Let me know if you find any...im in the same boat as you...I was hoping since its memorial wkd we would find some crazy sales...I found a set of nexen 3000 for 575 shipped on ebay...but you would still need to have em balanced and mounted so thats an added expense when ordering online vs dealing with local tire shop and having them mount and balance for less.
