On my '01 TL I tried 42mm offset wheels to mount my snow tires. With 5
adults and their luggage on board, the tires would rub against the rear
fenders unless I drove much slower than anyone else on the road. Using Acura
wheels (52mm offset) resolved the problem. A G2 might possibly have more
clearance than a TL.

The car also didn't drive the same, but I admit that most drivers might not
realize that the cause is the wheels and not the tires.

you will get rubbing with a 42mm offset on a Legend for sure .... not sure
about the other Acura models.
