First off, he took a 3 year old post and brought it back for no other reason than to talk shit.

Second, he didn't get a warning, so there isn't even a rope to give slack to. Let's not derail this thread any more than it has been please.

Life Goals right there I know what my next project is for my RL

Any new updates ambig? Regardless the car looks amazing

Does this pertain to both front and rear? Or, does this pertain to only your application? I'd like to get the wheels in 20" but don't want to have any fender work done for the front and rear.

Ambiguous is long gone as his car was for sale 4 years ago. What exactly is your question? Offset of the wheels he was running? Wheel diameter doesn't affect fitment if you size your tires properly.

What's the widest size tires I can put on a 08 RL without causing problems?

Age 70? Awesome.

I assume you mean wheels, not tires, but you need to define "problems". 8.5" maybe 9" up front and 9" in the back without fenders rolled. You may experience some rubbing in the back if you are loaded down with passengers or cargo. If you roll your fenders, you could squeeze 10-10.5" back there. Up front is kind of limited to turning, but wheel offsets can adjust that.

I'm interested in wide tires to give the car a more aggressive look but I am concerned about the tires rubbing the wheel well or extended beyond the wheel well. Thanks for your quick response.

It is possible to run 9.5 wheels with a +35 without rolling fenders and you should encounter no rubbing issues on the steel side but may hear plastic rubbing in full stroke when encountering large bumps on the wheel liners. This is with coilovers which you will need in order to make it all look correct, say a minus 40-55mm in ride reduction at a 1/2 finger arch gap and natural camber. I am at minus 68mm and it is very low but I think that this is ideal for me. My advise is to shave the rear fenders as oppose to rolling them and most definitely run a larger tire size the same on ALL fours. Opinions very but my ideal set up on a 19x9.5 with a +30 with a 245/40-19 tire. This is critical as the vehicle load is calculated from the ECU to the automatic sub-computer and if you run a 35 aspect size tire, the car will not reach mid RPM range in partial throttle because the altered shorter gearing will fool the AT computer to shift always too early. I had this annoying dilemma and would not tolerate it. I am running 19x9.5 +25 on 245/40-19 but with M1 flares on pulled underneath... The car is amazingly compliant and will carve corners with zero body roll in this wide tread configuration.

Thanks for answering my question.

Still one of the best RL EVER
