I would like to possibly lower it, and get lower profile tires. My rims are 19's but they look smaller than i would like ��

Looks good, but I'd lose the front plate. No need to have two /\ in the front.

What size tires do you currently have?

Lowering would help make the wheels look bigger...

My gas mileage is really good with this size tires. 300 miles on one tank. I know if i went lower profile, my mileage would suffer lol. But really not happy with the way these tires look

You can buy bumper plugs to fill those holes...in case that's the only reason you're leaving it on.

TBH, 300 miles on one tank isn't that great. I'm pretty sure our tank is 18.5 gallons which leaves you at @ 16 mpg. Now I'm sure you're not driving it until you run out of gas so let's say you're leaving 2 gallons in there, that's still only @ 18 mpg. I have a 6MT SH-AWD and average 19 mpg with a lot of spirited driving. You should be getting better than that with a FWD.

You have the correct size tire so I would leave it as is. Once you lower see how you like the look and go from there. Maybe 20's would be a better fit for your taste.

Thank you for all the input! I do appreciate it . I have decided to sell my rims and tires to go for 20's. It is unfortunate, since they are only 4 months old and still like new. Do you have 20's on yur acura?

No worries! Hopefully you'll get good money for your wheels since they're basically new.

Yes, I do have 20's. I went with a conservative setup though as they are only 8.5" wide. I didn't want to deal with the headache or added weight of 10"+ wide wheels nor am I a fan of stretched tires.

Glad you're selling it. Wheels are too busy the simple design of the 4G. 20s are the way to go.

My rims

Yes i put them on craigslist 2 days ago but nothing. Im afraid i may be stuck with them. I think that for the TL... 20's are a better fit. The car is a good size and i mistakenly thought that 19's would be good. My bad lol
