Def. a mistake in tire size. Not about to spend another $600 on a new set of tires. A-spec drop = yes.
Should I have asked which size tires BEFORE I went there and let them order those? Yep - but I didn't. Live and learn. I expect these tires will need replacement in about a year, so then I will get bigger tires.

Not really, the original Tires that come on the Acura 18" are 235/40/18, and those will give you exact OEM speedo readings. now the 245/40/18 seems to be more popular, but is slightly larger than what comes with the car. so one is for sport and accuracy, and the other is for comfort and to fill up the wheel wells. wait till you get the ndrop, then it will look better. besides, flash photography is gonna exagerate the gap, the light source is coming directly from the lense. try some daytime pics with a clean car and some armorall tire dressing. looks hot.

The smaller tires will look better...they will really show off the rim, and not accentuate the tires too much. I'd rather my car look like all rim then all tire

holy pick-up truck TL! hehehe j/k that is a lot of gap. wonder if you can get any credit for those tires you have on and get larger size tires for the difference. if you lower your car the suspension will get stiffer coupled with low profile tires equals harsh ride with potential to bend rim. my last car was slammed and i had very low profile tires, i will never do that again. its the worst ride when driving through the city, so bumpy. i would seriously consider changing out the rubber and not just dropping the car.

One quick question though Rondog, why is there no 8.0" wide option at Ronjon? Even Acura downgraded the A-Spec wheels to 8.0 for the 2005 because of scraping problems. Is there something I'm missing? Anyone?
