05 Acura RL - Wheel Spacers needed for 2012 TL Wheel

I recently purchased a set of wheels with tires from a 2012 Acura TL. I knew they would not clear my front brake calipers. Does anyone know if I can purchase a spacer to clear the wheels? I have read several threads and have seen that it all depends on the actual wheel. I would appreciate any feedback. The tire size and wheel size is all the same except the front caliper will not allow them to clear.

Dude, you have to search man, you cant just come on here expecting people to just answer your particular question. This particular post is almost 2 years old. Do a little digging on your own, I'm sure if you search the forums or if you get your wheel off and take a look at some spacers at a wheel or performance shop you'll have a better chance at finding your answers as oppose to waiting for someone to give them to you.

Trial and error my friend.

Ok, I'll give you that, lol But keep looking through and what other people have done. Try some other wheels threads, I'm pretty sure someone, somewhere put these wheels or other similar oem wheels on an RL.

hello: Never use spacers, never!!!!!!! Alway buy the right rim to clear the caliper, do your research. It took me 2 years till i found the right rim to clear the caliper. Again never use spacers!!!!!!
