These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2016 Acura RDX. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 77 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -0.67 mm, inner change -5.68 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

Solve whether a replacement wheel or donor wheel will fit a 2016 Acura RDX safely. Focus on bolt pattern, bore, offset, width, tire size and lug interface. I will guide you through checks you need to complete before mounting wheels.
Gather the vehicle facts, basic tools, and the on-page fitment calculator. Use the calculator to compare donor wheels versus installed wheels on your vehicle. If a value varies by trim, confirm with OEM wheel data or your parts department.
| Bolt pattern (studs x PCD) | 5x114.3 |
| Center bore (mm) | 64.1 |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter (in) | 18 |
| Rim width (in) | 7.5 |
| Wheel offset (ET, mm) | 45 |
| Backspacing (in) | 5.52 |
| Stock tire | 235/60R18 |
Assumption: these values are correct for the vehicle you are working on. If your trim uses different wheels, use the on-page calculator and OEM sources to confirm.

Compare the donor wheel pattern to 5x114.3 and ensure lug stud thread M12 x 1.5 matches. If the pattern or thread size does not match exactly, do not proceed.
Enter the donor wheel dimensions into Wheels from (donor vehicle). Enter your RDX as Installed on (your vehicle). Adjust custom wheel size fields if you plan different rim diameter, width, or offset. The calculator will show changes in overall diameter, track width and scrub radius.
Verify donor wheel center bore fits 64.1 mm or will accept a hub-centric ring. Confirm wheel seat type (tapered or ball) matches your lug nuts. If seat types differ, you will need matching lug nuts or adapters.
Compare donor wheel offset to OEM ET45. Positive change moves the wheel inward. Negative change moves the wheel outward and increases track width. Narrower or wider rims affect tire clearance at suspension travel and steering lock.
Mount the wheel and use jack stands to lower the vehicle onto wheels. Check for brake caliper clearance, inner fender contact, and full lock steering rub. Roll the suspension through full compression with a helper or by carefully loading the vehicle.
Use the correct lug nuts and torque in a star pattern to OEM torque spec. I do not supply a torque value here; confirm the proper torque from the owner's manual. Recheck torque after 50 to 100 miles driven.
Perform these checks to validate safe and legal fitment.
If any check fails, stop and resolve the cause before driving regularly.
Likely cause is too much negative offset or excessive rim width. Recommended solutions: choose a smaller wheel width, increase offset, or select a tire with narrower section width. As a last resort consider minor fender rolling, but evaluate structural constraints first.
If center bore is larger, install properly sized hub-centric rings. If the wheel rocks despite rings, check hub face for corrosion or debris and clean it.
Confirm lug seat style and thread pitch before buying lug nuts. If threads appear damaged, replace studs or nuts rather than forcing fit.
Offset and width changes alter scrub radius and track width. Expect a handling trade-off. If steering pull or instability appears, revert to closer-to-stock dimensions. Use wheel alignment after significant track width or offset changes.
The calculator updates tire diameter when you change rim diameter. Confirm speedometer error and legal implications if the overall diameter changes significantly.
You now have a practical, step by step path to verify wheel fitment for a 2016 Acura RDX. Use the on-page calculator and OEM references whenever a value is uncertain. Prioritize hub-centric mounting, correct lug fitment, and checked torque to maintain safety. If you need a specific spec not listed here, confirm it through the owner's manual or dealer.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
