1996 Acura RL Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1996 Acura RL Base uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a stock wheel size of 16x6.5 at 65mm offset. You can upgrade through 20x7.5, choosing from square setups across 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-, and 20-inch diameters. Popular upsizes include 17x7, 17x8, 18x7.5, and 19x7.5 for a modern look while maintaining ride quality.
Keep in mind that only 5x114.3 bolts will fit your RL—verify this before ordering. Your hub uses a 64.1mm center bore, so wheels with larger bores require hub-centric rings to center properly. Stick with recommended offsets and widths to avoid rubbing against fenders or suspension components, especially when moving beyond 18 inches.
Every wheel we list bolts straight onto your RL and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights—all verified for your fitment.
