I have a 2011 Pilot LX and I'm looking to upgrade the wheels to alloy, primarily for handling so I'm not too concerned about how they look, aside from them looking more OEMish than flashy aftermarket looking. In fact, I was thinking of sanding them down and painting them black.
I've been looking at Ridgeline, Odyssey, and Acura MDX wheels. I'm just wondering if there are other cars that would also have wheels that work. I see some BMW X5s use the same bolt pattern, but a 40mm offset. If I remember correctly, the Pilot's offset is 45mm, right? How close do I have to be to that?
Also, if the wheel size, bolt pattern, and offset are all the same, I should be able to just swap the tires and wheels, right? Do I need to worry about any weird clearance issues with the brakes or something?
Lighter is better, so I was considering looking at sedan wheels too but I'm concerned about the wheels being strong enough for the Pilot.
Thanks!
