We all know the stock 3rd gen Pilot rims and tires are interchangeable with our beloved Odyssey and has been discussed in length on the forum.

What about the new model 4th gen pilots (2023+)? Based on the searches and research that I have found, the rims appear to be compatible. They are still 5x120 so the lug pattern fit. The stock wheels are 18x8 and +50 offset or 20x8 +50 offset and 64.1 MM hub bore so that is comparable.

The biggest difference that I can find is that the 4th gen run wider tires. 255 vs 245. These are using 255/60/18 or 255/50/20 and even 265/60/18 tires on the Trailsport model.

So the big question is . . . Anyone run these stock wheels AND TIRES these on their stock suspension Ody?

I'm wondering if the slightly larger width will cause any rubbing.
Maybe at full lock?

Searched and did not find any answers.

Anyone try this setup yet?

BTW, these are stock wheels I'm eyeballing for my Ody. I think they will look great.

UPDATE: These specific rims will fit the rear but the front will require spacers to clear the calipers. I used 5mm spacers. The 255/60/18 tires will fit the wheel well, but at full lock it will rub the fender liners, so some adjustment to the wheel well liner with a heat gun will be required. Good luck!

Rims will fit no problems but pilot tire size will cause rubbing especially if you have lowering suspension installed.

I ran 255/45/20s lowered, rears don't rub but front tires burned a hole in the front fender liners so I have a hole on both sides lol.
I'm currently on 245/60/18 +55 (MDX Tech wheels) and I got a little bit of rubbing at full lock, but I think that was because my front shocks were on their way out. I have since replaced all the shocks/struts and currently have no rubbing at full lock, but the tires are wearing down (Have 40K miles on the MDX setup).

I'm using this site


and here is the calculation / visual based on my current setup.

I think the rear will fit fine, but the front will most likely be rubbing at full lock because it will stick out further and top will be closer to the fender well.

So I don't think it will work . . .

Update: So I took a gamble and bought a set. Turns out the rims do not clear the stock brake calipers so I’ll need to run spacers. I did put them on the car just to see and the rear fits just fine. As I suspected, the front has rubbing on the fender liner at full lock so once my spacer gets here I’ll heat up the liner and try adjust it for more clearance.

Here are some test fit pictures.

Rims are on. I think it looks pretty sweet.
I ended up using a 5mm spacer for the front to clear the stock brake calipers.

The 255/60/18 tires do rub at full lock, I used a heat gun and have the fender a liner a massage so it’s much better now. Ride is pretty cush from the larger tire. No complains from the kids.
