Question

My friend has some 20's he took off a Acura RL. They're a 5x114 bolt pattern but they're FWD. What is the difference in the fitment? Would these fit my car by any chance? Maybe?

If they are 5x114.3 they are the correct bolt pattern. BUT they are probably going to have the wrong offsets etc... even if they do fit they will most likely limit you to a narrow tire. In other words, even though they *may* physically fit onto the car, they aren't meant to be there, make sense?

Acura RL factory offset +45, Lexus 2nd Gen offset +50. They should fit! if they are a sweet deal than get them. I never paid much attention to offsets anyways.

I think the offset is +43...Still doable?? Only thing that sucks is that they would have to be shipped from Canada. Kinda far but it's a steal for rims/tires

20" alba bertha with new tires. they are discontinued and I can't find them anywhere but I found them on craigslist. Shipping from canada kinda scares me a little. Cuz if they're damaged during shipping I'm screwed. Saw tons of pics and they look perfect. Price is 1300 then factoring in shipping(he's gunna let me know)

hmmm... i would keep looking there is better deals out there! IMO the Alba Bertha's would look like garbage on a GS. Shipping would be about $200 so 1300+200=1500. I would keep looking.

If you can hold off wait and get better! Yes Alba's look like garbage on GS's, and this come from experience, trust me when I say that.

I really don't want to purchase them without seeing them in person. But it's tempting.

I guess my taste in rims is different than all of yours. All the rims I want most of you don't like. But ****, it's all good.
