anyone running 17" acura TL wheels?
Just wondering if anyone is running them, I seem to remember there was a few, but the searches yield nothing. So if your running them, how big a tire, front and back, also pics on a FC would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

I am running TL wheels on my 03 Accord. I have considered a temporary swap onto my vert to check out the look. The offset and rim width should be ok. I run a 235/45/17 tire on the Accord. The combo will be a little bit taller overall. BTW, this is a pretty heavy wheel. I have had three sets of tires on these wheels (including the OEMs) and I tried a 215/50/17 to lighten the unsprung weight. It worked out well, but just didn't look nearly as good, so this time I went back to the 235's.
I bet the TL wheel tire combo will weigh in 10-12 pounds per wheel heavier than my vert wheels...
I have a feeling clearance.will also be tight on my lowered vert, but the fenders could be rolled. I would do this tomorrow, but I am in the middle of bodywork and paint prep.

Just got done trying to mount Acura TL wheels with 215/45/17 which is now the TSX rubber (my older brother is a Tech at an Acura dealer) they fit fine in the rear but rubbed on the suspension spring in front.
