you had or have?

35 offset is a little low for the RL, but if you pull in some camber, and roll the fenders you might be able to get away with it.

got pics or links?

I had them rims right now. Because before i bought these rims, i already did some researched online before I buy them. I saw a size chart online and it said 35 offset will fit my car which is front wheel drive. But then my friend told me that in order to fit those rims into my car I have to use super low disk and I don't under stand what he meant by that, what is the super low disk and where to buy them. I don't have pictures yet. Do you know what size of camber I should use? without rolling fenders can I use smaller size of tires instead of 235/35/19 I use 225/35/19, do you think i would work. Let me know, thanks alot.

if you stay at stock height you probably won't need to roll the fenders.

as far as camber, wait untl you have the rims on the car and if they rub buy camber kits and pull about negative 1 degree of camber. That is still within spec as far as tire wear goes, and you'll gain a little bit of clearance.


I'd be wear of running to small a tire. Use what's recomende for your car.

i understand everything clearly right now, thanks alot. I haven't bough the tires yet because I was wondering about the fitment of those rims. Now, i understand how to fix the rim problem, another thing that i concern right now is tires, can you recommend me what size of tires I should use. What I had in mind was 235/35/19 but now I want 225/35/19 because of the rubbing issue, i'm confused i don't know which one is the best for the rims, thanks

Its hard to say because of the 35+ offset. try asking around here and on other forums to see if someones used that rim and tire setup on an RL and had issues.

I saw one in other forum with 19x8.5 offset 38 235/35/19, he said no rub at all with stock heigh, so I think i gona use 225/35/19 tires since his offset is 38 and mine is 35, I think im gona be ok, do you think so.

i got this from the TL first generation forum.

NYrider "well as for 2.5tl's your lucky becuase you can fit a wider wheel on them another reason why your suspension is diffrent from 3.2tl. 19's are not pushin it for you super smart people. 19's are actually perfect for 2.5tl's. 19x8.5 will fit no problem as long as you keep your offset as close to +35 I believe you can go as low as +32 without having to change any camber just bolt them right on"

Do you think 2.5tl is the same with 3.5RL, if so, there is no problem that we don't need to worry, want your opinion, thanks
