Hello -

I recently bought a used 2005 6MT TL and need clarification on the problem I will run into with the factory brembo's up front....

Are people running into the issue that the face of the wheel is hitting / rubbing on the caliper? Or is it that some manufacturers of aftermarket rims inner diameter of the rim hitting / rubbing on the caliper?

I know that the factory TL rims are:
17x8 +45 with 235 45 17 tires.

I wanted to stick with the 17" diameter but go with a set up like this...

17x9 +35 with 235 45 17 tires.

Where I live, the roads are not forgiving and I don't really want to go 18". I am currently stock height but plan on lowering it with either H&R springs or a full coilover set since the car does have 115k and I am not sure if the factory shocks have ever been changed.

I was looking at these...





Thanks for the help!

I thought factory rims were 42? Either way, pretty sure you'll need ~5mm spacers for that proposed set up. Use the sticky thread to check your options, that's what it's there for.

Factory rims are indeed +45

I would go with Vordoven 18x9.5 +22 with 225 40 18 but you should be ok with 17x9 +35 if it doesnt fit you can use a 5mm spacers
