18"x7.5" w/ 42mm offset on '03 TL-S
As the title reads, 18"x7.5" Racing Hart S7 with 42mm offset. Would it fit on an '03 TL Type-S?
According to the tire offset calculator, clearance between the strut housing and the inside of the wheel will be the same. However, the outside of the wheel will extend 26mm.
Is this going to work??

Too narrow for the tread and too low for the profile.
For 18's it should be 225/40 or 235/40

You will rub, i have stated in another thread. SlyTLS had racing hart gt5 in 18x7.5 42mm and he rubbed like hell. Also if you go with 215 tires, expect to bend rim.

With a 215 40, not only will your tires overall diameter be off from the stock diameter, but you will have less meat on the tires. Less meat means bent rims and harsh ride.

True, I would have less meat, but according to that above link, I would gain slightly more clearance between the tread and the wheel well --> it's smaller in diameter than the stock tires.

215's are too small. your speedo will be off 4% and for every 16 miles you drive your odometer will rack up one extra mile.

215/50/17 vs. 215/40/18
It says speedo reading will be 2.7% too fast, which means for every 1000 miles, I'll be adding an extra 27 miles.
