Im Straight noob

So, i bought my RL about 7 months ago. i knew a little about the PAX tires but didnt know to the extent how much they would cost after all services. well i got a flat tire and once i found out how much everything was i decided to get new rims. I bought a set of BBS LM from a local shop they said they would fit on my 06 RL tech package. well he was wrong i took them back he gave me a different set with the right lug pattern then the offset wouldnt fit over the front calipers. by this time i had already taken 2 days off from work because i work 40 miles away from my house and had to go with the wheels from American tire co. dont laugh at me. they look alllrigghttt but now its been about 4 months and am looking back into some BBS or TSW can anyone please tell me the right size wheel im supposed to get? what is the "Correct" offset i have to get for my 06 with tech package? any help is really appreciated. will post pics when i get home from work

thanks for posting something where i can educate myself more about the topic. im understanding a bit more, one thing is still not clear is there a difference between the RL tech package and base model for the offsett i need? because its saying stock wheels are +55 offset
the TSW's im looking as on the website says there for the 06 RL but is 19x8 with +35 offset those wont clear right?

We cannot tell you if a wheel will fit with specs alone. To your advantage, most TSWs will fit. In fact, I have not heard of one that hasn't, and we have seen close to ten models. Your best bet is to get a fitment guarantee from your seller. If they don't fit, they will give a full refund.

Go into the tires subsection and find the "search this forum" button. Type "TSW", and go from there.
