Hi I was wondering if wheels from a 04 Acura TL would fit on a 02 LS430. TL wheels are 225/45/17, and LS is 225/55/17, would they fit without rubbing or require spacers?

 

Hello,

Here is a website that lets you precisely compare the sizes of wheels and tires. The size of the tire is not the only thing to consider, rims have Width, Offset, Center Bore and Bolt Pattern to account for as well. You are in luck with Offset and Bolt Pattern as they appear to be the same, but you will have to use a set of Hub Rings like the ones linked below to make sure that the wheel is centered. The tires have different Height, so the car will look awkward and the Speedometer will lie, but the tires can be replaced as well if you only plan on getting the rims.


Hope this helps and best of luck!

 

I was planning on running spacers 20mm both front and rear, will the hub ring be essential?

 

additionally will these hub rings work as the ones linked have a 1-2month delivery estimate, thank you

 

Why Doe? So much work and money just to get TL wheels with the wrong size tires. You need spacers for sure to clear the brakes, from what I remember Honda and Toyota have different hub sizes, also yes you must get it hub centric or else you will have vibrations. So yea not worth the hassle for the wrong wheels. At least get a set of Toyota or Lexus wheels cuz at least hub size the same, all you need is spacers to clear the brakes.

 

I’ve been searching for some wheels for a bit and the Toyota/Lexus wheels just end up costing way too much in my area even for used or out of state, and buying a new set of tires would also run me near the same amount just clearing with spacers, hubcentric ring, and the TL wheels ended up totaling half the price of the other options. I understand it’s a hassle but it seems more cost efficient overall, additionally I like the look of the TL

 

Whats wrong with your oem LS wheels? If you don't mind getting tires, that's the cheapest option.

 

Two of them leak air and I have to fill them every other week usually and I want a set of rims for winter and summer, I would go with a Lexus/Toyota rim but most aren’t willing to ship or have tires that need replacing. However after bringing the question to the forum I will most likely but tires and just switch the tires.

 

If you have the chrome wheels, they often leak due to the chrome flaking off.
When you mount the new tyres you need to clean up the bead section of the wheel with a brass wire wheel to remove any flakes.

Non-chrome wheels can also leak along the bead if the wheel wasn't cleaned when they were last changed.

When you have the tyres off, suspend the wheel from a hook and tap it with a small hammer or a screwdriver handle.
It should ring like a bell for a second or so. If it doesn't then the wheel has a crack in it somewhere and needs to be replaced.

The 225/55-17 is a tyre size. It means that the tyre is 225mm wide, the sidewall is 55% of 225mm tall (123.75mm), and the wheel diameter it will fit to is 17".
The OEM rim size is 7.5Jx17 ET45 which means 7.5" wide, 17" diameter, and ET45 means 45mm positive offset.
However, you also need to make sure that any rims you buy have the same stud pattern or PCD (5x114.3mm (5x4.5")) and the same hub bore (60.1mm) so that the centre cap fits.

 

The work to get these to fit is basically the same for most aftermarket wheels - hub rings and spacers, so nothing crazy there.
if you like them go for it, but I will say in my personal experience good spacers (I only buy h&r) are very helpful in reducing the chances of vibrations.
all that starts to add up and at that point I would maybe consider something like these instead maybe https://www.velospinner.com/products...els-rims-74179
