I hope i don't get flamed for this and i have searched. I'm looking to get a set of wheels for my TL. I cant find a 6 speed car with a staggered set-up. I look through wheel threads and all the 6speeds are not staggered. i have heard that the breaks on a 6MT are larger that the ones on a 5AT. Is this true in the rear as well as the front? But if someone could tell me the offset specs that they a running if they have a 6MT with a staggered set up. Thanks in advance.


Oh and I intend to run a 8" or 8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the back. 19's

 

It is going to be very hard to avoid flames and advice about what you should be doing, instead of what you want to do.

Just warning you. :-)

 

may i ask why u want to run this setup?

if you want information on what brakes will fit, go to the acura cl site.......TONS of information in there

 

I like the set up and see it alot on 5AT TL's Just hard to find the set up on a 6MT. Just asking so when i order the wheels i will avoid fitment issues.

 

Staggered fitment on a front wheel drive TL is an AWESOME idea!!! When you get it all done, you should snap some pics, I can't wait to see it!

Here's a wheel pic thread of TL's

 

I'm afraid you're just not going to get a lot of help for this in one of the Honda-Tech marque forums.

They're not going to support something that is clearly appearance-only and which tends to exaggerate the car's understeering proclivity in high performance applications.

They might support you if they knew that you were taking it to the track or trying to compete in Honda Challenge H0 or H1, or something, and in that case they'd expect that the wider wheels would be in the front.

I apologise, but this is a very old place full of tech *****.

 

Thanks man. I understand. just thought it might be a few in the bunch that could over look that stuff.
