1997 Acura CL Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Acura CL requires a 4x114.3 bolt pattern. The factory setup runs 16x6 wheels at a 40-millimeter offset. You can step up to 16x6.5, 17x7, 17x7.5, 18x7.5, 19x7.5, or 20x7.5 sizes depending on your aesthetic and performance goals. All fitments are non-staggered, so you have complete flexibility in choosing your desired diameter and width.
Keep in mind that 4x114.3 is the only bolt pattern that will fit your CL—wheels designed for other patterns simply won't work. Your center bore measures 64.1 millimeters; if a wheel's bore is larger, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Pushing too wide or running aggressive offsets outside our tested range risks unwanted contact with fenders and suspension components, so stick to the sizes listed here.
Every wheel we stock for your CL is confirmed to bolt on safely and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Work Wheels, Enkei, SSR Wheels, and Rotiform all offer options that suit this platform, so you'll find quality choices ready to ship.
