Winter Tire Setups

[frenzal]

Alloy wheels with wide spaces between the spokes are practical in winter when there is snow. You can remove the snow packed inside the wheels so your car won't badly shake!

I looked at steelies, but I did not see any that would clear the CTR/ITS brakes and be in the right offset range.

These were the closest I found, but would not have the needed brake clearance: https://www.fitmentindustries.com/buy-wheel-offset/RTX-X48564/rtx-winter-steel-18x8-40

Yeah, that’s probably the biggest kicker. It might be difficult to find steel wheels that will clear the brakes (especially the front).

Anyone consider Honda Pilot wheels? I'm thinking about it, just for fun.
Probably not for me though. I already have two sets of wheels.
EDIT: But I don't have a winter set of wheels.

I like this one in particular...
Honda Pilot HPD wheel in Matte Bronze.
18x8.0 , Offset ET +50 , Bolt Pattern 5x120 .

Pretty decent price over at College Hills.

Might be good with a 245/45R18 tire.

The steelies he went with are interesting as well and apparently came off a Honda Pilot too? @SeanMcc23 do you have a part number for those?

As for the alloys you linked, the +50 would be in a decent offset range (and better than the +44 on my BBS SR wheels) but I would be a little bit suspect of the spoke clearance on the front brake caliper. It takes a pretty specific spoke design at that offset to clear the caliper. Maybe just buy one to try it out.

Hi.
I don't have a part number for the Honda Pilot Steel wheel.

The Pilot HPD Matte Bronze wheel is Part # 08W18-T90-100 , according to the College Hills Honda website.

steels fit no problem u can find them in type r spec on fitment industries. mine came off a pilot, but idk where the guy got them from i just know they were on a pilot. the steelies have more brake clearance than stock i run 245/50-18 on mine

I am all for it if it works. The ones on Fitment Industries may work, but there's no telling if they're the same design as the Honda Pilot OEM ones you have.

theyre not oem pilot wheels they just came off a pilot and i can tell u for sure fitment says they fit so they fit. they are also the same design as mine and i measured offset on mine to be about 40

Ahhh okay. You're saying you got them from someone else who put them on a Pilot.

So assuming Fitment's picture is correct, that wheel has 20 holes and yours seems to have 18?

fuck bro i have no clue they look right to me. fitment says they fit they fit. my wheels are not hubcentric i had to put a caliper on it to get rings so its mot that exact wheel but id bet its the same brand rtx

So you do have hubcentric rings installed with the steel wheels?
Do you know the hub size of the wheel and ring size for the proper fit?
Just, you know... while we're on the topic?

the wheels i have had a 67.1 hub bore so i got 67.1 to 64.1 rings for them. they fit but vibrated, once i realized the hub bore was wrong and got rings it fixed it. guy had wheels on his wifes car she probably had no idea, or he had rings. idk the whole thing confused me

I'm a trust but verify kind of guy when it comes to these websites, particularly with big brakes and weird wheel combos.

Fitment lists theirs as being 64.1mm center bore, so they should be hub centric.

100% but if u google 18x8 steels with 67.1 u can find my exact wheels. but seriously fitment listed 17 inch wheels at fitting and they do. they dont mess around. and if they didnt fit theyd refund theyre good company

Someone on the Integra forum just tried 09 TL wheels and they fit. Barely, but they fit.
