Default TSX rims

Will 15" steel rims fit on the TSX??? I know the car has factory 17's, but I already have 4 new 15" steelies with new winter tires. Any worries with brake caliper interferance??

You'll also have to check the lug pattern to make sure it's the same.

The lug pattern and center bore are corrent, I'm mainly concerned about clearance for brakes and suspension components due to the smaller diameter.

Thanks.

Your brakes are 11.8-inch ventilated/ 10.2-inch solid. Now, the European Accord had 15" wheels as standard equipment on i-VTEC SE and i-VTEC Executive. However, I cannot find out if their brakes are bigger or smaller.



Those brakes look big...I think they may be 11.8".

I haven't bought the car yet, this is part of the last minuite research I am doing so I can trade in my current car.

I have a set of 15" steelies with winter tires and 16" aluminum wheels with summer tires. I'm trying to figure out if I should sell my car with the steelies because only the 16" rims will fit for the winter (also meaning I need to buy another set of snow tires), or sell with the 16" aluminum, which will make the car worth more on a trade and my current winter set up will fit the TSX fine.

If I had the car I'd just bolt them on and see, and the dealer doesn't know if they will fit either!!! Maybe I'll take the car for a longer test drive, go to the house and try one on.

My post was implying that you should do your own research and see if the Euro Accord has the same size brakes to see if they'd fit

What color do you think you're gonna get? 6 speed or auto?

Do a search on google. "Acura TSX" +Specifications or something like that. Acura.com has decent tech specs as well.
