No problems at all with rubbing...

...but looks like your signature says you have a 6spd.... i thought the RDX wheels wouldnt clear the Brembos without a spacer?

a spacer, is pretty much a washer, the goes in between the wheels and the hub.... its literally, that... a "spacer" to push the wheel out a few more MM

I think you are probably going to need a 5mm spacer.... but im not 100% sure.

Also, if you do need them, you can buy cheap ones on ebay for like $15... or buy hubcentric ones (64.1) for Acura vehicles... that's what i would do, to reduce vibration.. those might cost about $40 or so

oh, and the spacer literally just slides over the wheel studs, and then you put the wheel on

How do i know for sure if i need a spacer and the exact size of the spacer? can anyone confirm that 5mm is good??? do i need a space for all 4 tires or just the front 2 for the brembo brakes?? what is a good site for the hubcentric ones qouted above

thanks for your help

ok after doing some more research, ihave a few questions.... is it the offset (mine are 45) or the rim width (mine are 19x8J) that cause the spacers to be needed? does the tire i choose make a difference with the spacers?? just trying to figure this out before i purchase tires and attempt to get these put on

6.Drop Type and Amount - None (A-Spec Soon)
7.Do they rub -no
8. Transmission type (use of spacers if 6MT) - 6MT no spacers

1.Brand of Rim - RonJon - Inspyre
2.Rim size (diameter and width) - 19" x 8.5"
3.Offset - 42mm

Hey man, there are A LOT of wheels that will clear the brembos... Smart moving digging through the wheel fitment thread, but trust me... you have options....

The A-Specs will definitely need a spacer in the front, i believe a few members confirmed it, but not sure how much... maybe a 5mm or 7mm spacer

When you test fit the wheel on the front over the brembos, you will see if it clears, or if the wheel rubs against the caliper

someone on craigslist is selling this on their TL in the bay area. I personally dont like it, but if it is lowered it might look better. And barf on the fender mod lol

HAHAHA why would you do that to a TL, its like those people putting those freakin air vents down the side of cars... and personally i think thats to much chrome for a set of a-specs..

myron

iTrader: (4)

man that TL is so ballin' where hommie got them vents? hahahahaha

and sorry but I don't like that finish on those wheels, I am not a fan of chrome at all, especially on a TL

HigdonTL05

ahhh shiz mah you didin know, i copz dem at lokal auto sto!

Paintballny

hah worse than the fender vents is whatever the guy put on his front grill/hood

HigdonTL05

hahahaha i didnt see that contraption.. what is that???

AnthraciteAspec

iTrader: (6)

wow that silver TL looks tacky as hell. From the chrome wheels, to the fender vent, to the thing on the grill, he succeeded in completing his look lol

AckTL05

looks like the buick looking mod but he put them on the front? Someone loves chrome. SUrprised he didnt buy the roof chrome trim and the aluminum door trim from pep boys.

AnthraciteAspec

iTrader: (6)

haha or the chrome fender trim, Pep Boys mods FTW!

I think those A-Specs would look 100x better if they were powdercoated in the gunmetal A-Spec color

But then again I'm not a huge fan of chrome.

speechless

Put the rim on the front...if you don't rub the brake caliper, you don't need spacer.
Don't we have 45 offsets with Aspec anyway? Like the 04 Aspec is 18 by 8.5 w/45 offset. Doesn't that mean these will clear?

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

you have the wheels... just test fit it on the fronts...

AnthraciteAspec

iTrader: (6)

Not necessarily, it also has a lot to do with the design of the actual wheel.

But yeah he already has the wheels so he might as well just throw em on and see if they clear.

yuck. Dont do it.

bigmoetl1

test fit the front and let us know i want to see what it will look like

From what I heard (and know) they won't clear the caliper. The monstrous 6 speed brembo calipers literally ned 1.75" of clearance where the factory brakes only require 0.25" of clearance at the peak point. Not sure on the specs of those wheels. I measured both brembo TL and auto TL, RL calipers, Accord and 4G TL brakes all at the dealerships with multiple wheels and spacer setups over a dozen times. I even recorded pics and measurements with my caliper measuring tool. I did it all before we produced all of our wheels to make sure they clear. High offsets, snug fenders and big brakes make for a hard time fitting deep lip wheels, thats why flush faced wheels are more popular on these cars. Even then, a slightly deeper drop center will make the inside of the back of the spoke touch slightly. Also, a 5mm spacer cannot be hubcentric, only a 15-25mm spacer can be made to be huibcentric because the hub bore peg is deeper than 10mm.

Yeah those fender vents are probably magnets lol but using spacers or those hubcentric rings, are there any down falls ?
