This is what i use
Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit
According to that the diameter difference should only be 7mm
In my case it was a tire thing. Looks like the nitto tire run crazy wide/big.

MORE plastidip experimenting...
this time with silver metallizer over matte black dip.
3 layers of black and 4 layers of metallizer.
Silver Metallizer on top of Matte Black yields a hyper black/dark gun metal.
for reference: left wheel is metallizer on graphite gray dip vs right wheel is metallizer on matte black dip

Yes that's my new car. 1949 Ford Business Coupe. Flathead V8 with an aggressive channel. Stock suspension but the body is dropped 5" on the frame. C-notch in the back and a fat tunnel for the drive shaft. Stock these things had completely flat floors.

I'm a bit of a DIY'er but decided to get a 'dealer oil change' simply to address some warranty related items at the same time.
Very impressed by Richmond Acura... they did a great job addressing 2 warranty items AND proactively replaced my battery (under warranty) because it failed the load test... I had no clue my battery was not performing. I'm pretty sure they know I'll be trading in this RDX for another ACURA in 3yrs.
and the big bonus was that I got to boot around in the V6 TLX as a loaner...
dat pushbutton gear box tho...
