I want 18" wheels. I am considering both the OEM's and aftermarket.

What are the exact specs for the 18" OEM's? I am under the impression that they are 18x8 in size have a 5-114.3 bolt pattern with an offset of 45. Please verify. I read somewhere they were 18x8.5 and want to make sure before I decide.

I also want to get 245/40-18 tires that I have determined will work fine on the OEM's, but the aftermarket wheels I am looking at are only 18x7.5. Can that size wheel accomodate 245/40-18 tires??

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Since this got moved. I am talking about the 04TL.

Thanks, that answered all my questions but one. At least I didn't see the definitive answer. Are the 04 18" OEM's 8 inches wide or 8.5 inches wide?

Wheels are 18x8.

Dealer says they are 8.5 as do most on this board.

Didn't we do this already?
The Acura 18's are 8.5 wide with 45mm offset, guaranteed!

Parts guy told me they were 18x8 when I took the TL in for service last month. This is gonna fvckin' bug me now...anyone else?

njtls

That info comes directly from the backside of the Acura ASPEC 18" wheels, and I measured to confirm. 18X8.5 45mm offset
