Just got my RDX wheels for my 01 MDX. It's the standard 18 inchers with 255/55/18 Michelin Latitudes. Got them for ~900 with shipping off of Ebay. Really fills up the wheel wells and look great! Check the pic out in my gallery at

| Very nice. I have been thinking about the same update when my current tires wear out. |

I thought about it as well but I have heard the Latitudes are not the best in snow. |

| Not sure if it makes much difference, but I think there are some RDX's that come with Continentals as well...there was a set just on Ebay a few days back in the same size....they went for ~900 shipped as well I think |

FWIW...also remember the the RDX 18" standard rims come with a 235-55-18 tire, the ones pictured above are larger 255-55-18 tire, which match the standard 01-06 MDX circumfrence perfectly.
So just be sure you check not only the Rim, but also the tires mounted to them when purchasing off ebay.
The smaller standard 235/55/-18 tires will work but will set you speedo/odo off by 3% |

| Is the bolt pattern 5x114? |
|
|
| bro_hof |
| Not sure of the numbers, but they're a perfect fit on an 01-06 X with no spacers or anything else required. They're truly bolt on. |

.......really georgeous on your vehicle!!! .......I have always thought that the RDX and new MDX (sport package) wheels are some of the most beautiful out there!!....and the 18-inch size really gives it a more "substantial", "muscular" and "sporty" appearance :29:
....Could you tell me how the ride is, with the Michelin Latitudes??...does it ride much smoother than the Cross Terrains??....and do you find an improvement in handling as well??
Thanks!

| The ride comfort has not changed, it's still smooth as silk. The biggest difference is the increased confidence you feel through the steering wheel. The wider tire has changed the feedback you receive while driving to make you feel more "hooked up" with the road. This is the best mod I've ever done to the X and I fully recommend it to anyone looking for a more sporty appearance. |

| Rock on, I got mine on one of those "or best offer" auctions they did. Looking at the completed auctions, I don't see many complete sets being sold, so maybe the supply has diminished since we're at the end of the model year. I'd recommend getting a set with the TPMS still installed, even if your car doesn't use it, because it means that the tires are probably still in balance. I got mine and immediately had to get them balanced since they were removed...I never even thought to ask if they were in balance, I just assumed it :( |

| mike75 |
| The set that you got is came with rdx rims and new mdx tires so I assume they already balanced |

Hi, I got the tires from seller "acuralynn"
and rims from "greentormenta". I highly recommend "acuralynn", but can't say the same for the latter. |

| those rim are 18 x7.5, offset 45mm, bolt pattern 5 x 114.3. Those tires are Michelin Latitude h104 255/55/18 |

| After doing some research I've noticed RDX std. tire size is 235/55/18 but you install 255/55/18 and optional sport package is 245/45/19. Did you buy them separately? I would like to upgrade our 2006 MDX but found 2007 MDX wheels will not fit so I am trying to sort things out. Thanks for your help~ |

i have a set of rdx rims and 255/55/18 too, if you like shoot me a email, Thanks |

| My RDX rims came with the 255's already installed. I'm not sure if they were the native tire for that rim, but I made a point in my ebay searches to make sure they came with the 255's. I had to balance them as soon as I got them so either they changed the tires, or they just pulled out the TPMS sensors and didn't rebalance them. The tires had the little red dots on them that I have seen on many OEM tires, so they obviously came from the factory on some car. Sorry that I can't be more help :( Brooks |
