05 accord tire and rims.
I put Acura TL rims on my 05accord.
TL rim size is 215/60/17
and my stock 05accord rim is 215/50/15
I already put TL rims. and I guess it works okay.
What do you guys think?

I think you're mistaken about the stock Accord size, and possibly the stock TL size as well.
Which 2005 Accord do you have?
- sedan or coupe?
- DX or LX or EX?
- 4 cyl or V6?
What year TL are they from?

Re: 05 accord tire and rims. (xkrntamax)
Your car came from the factory with 205/60-16 tires on 16" rims.
There was no 2000 or 2001 TL Type S. The TL those years came with the same size tires and wheels as your Accord. The CL Type S came with 215/50-17 tires on 17" rims.
215/50-17 is also the proper tire size for 17" rims on your car. If that's what you actually have, great! They're perfect; use them and enjoy them. However, if you have 215/60-17 tires on there like you first stated, that size is MUCH too big (5.7 percent larger than your stock diameter) and I recommend not using such oversized tires. (In fact, if that's the size, I'm surprised they don't rub on the fenders and wheel wells!)
BTW, the sizes you mentioned are tire sizes, not rim sizes.

Yes, you did. But you called it the rim size.

That's not possible. There's no such thing as a 2000 TL Type S. The only version of the TL sold in 2000 was the 3.2TL.
And the 17" rim didn't come from a 2000 3.2TL, either. The 2000 3.2TL came from the factory with 16" wheels (and 205/60-16 tires). It's impossible to mount a 215/60-17 tire on a 16" wheel.

Then the tires are TOO BIG, almost 6 percent larger in diameter than your stock size tires. They make your speedometer and odometer read low by that percentage. They also make your car accelerate slower. I'm surprised they don't rub. In any case, I wouldn't use them.

No, it isn't. It's 205/60-16. You, or a previous owner, may have put 15" wheels and 215/50-15 tires on your car. But that's not the size that was on the car when it came from the factory. Every 2005 Accord EX 4-cyl Coupe came with 205/60-16 tires on 16" wheels. That's what a "stock size" is.
If you don't believe me, look in your owner's manual.
Anything else you'd like to get wrong?

Re: 05 accord tire and rims. (nsxtasy)
Oh... I thought the the TL was 2000.
It was 2002 TL type-S
So the tire size is 215/60/17
but... I dont know about my accord.
Because I bought my accord for used one.
So maybe the previous owner changed or something....
hm... then where the 215/50/15 size usually come from?
oh... one last question...
its not to good to use TL rims on my accord?
I dont understand the read low..?
Can you tell me more detail about the wrong using TL rims please?

Quite possible. It sounds like the previous owner put 15" wheels on his car, and then put the wrong size tires on your Accord (much too small).

The previous owner probably pulled it out of his @$$
, because that's much too small for your car.

The rims are fine. The tires are too big. Just replace them with the proper size tires, 215/50-17. Sell them on eBay after you take them off the rims.

The 215/60-17 tires are too big. Because they are bigger in diameter than your speedometer and odometer are expecting, those gauges don't realize you're actually driving more miles per revolution. You need 215/50-17 tires, and then they will be accurate.
