RL calibers on a 09' SHAWD

Im a new member and you have all gotten me stoked to upgrading my wheels.
So im finalizing the purchase of 20" 2-Crave's #2's, gunmetal with the polished lip with 255/35/20 Toyo's.
I saw calipers (Acura logo) on the RL that i thought could be added to a SHAWD TL. Since I will have a taller wheel and tire package it would look great if those calipers or brake shoe covers could be added.
You all are my experts, what do you think?

You will probably have more luck, fabricating the RL calipers to fit, then the TL 6MT/TL-S Brembos.

Most likely, you will be needing

- New Knuckles or **
- RL Calipers
- New ABS Sensors
- New Brakelines
- Rotors/Pads
- **Most likely a custom fabricated bracket to hold the caliper to the 4G TL knuckle

FYI - on those wheels.. what specs will you be getting? 255/35/20 is a beefy tire...

if you are getting wide/ aggressive wheel setup, it may rub

You have a good point I may drop to 245's to be safe. I was planning to buy these on-line, so I don’t want to be shipping back and forth. Thanks...
Sorry to hear about the drop of your partner, be thankful it’s not a spouse, it’s a minimum of a 50% split, you'll never mod then....
