Offset ?

I have my eye on an azine members vossens. They are currently on a 4th gen TL. Before I drive 6 hours away and incur gas and toll expenses. Is the offset the same on our vehicles? I have an 05 RL. Should I be able to just bolt them on and drive away? Thanks in advance guys.

I think you mean bolt pattern? TL's are 5x114.3 and RL's are 5x120 so no, they won't bolt right up. Depending on the size of the wheel you may be able to run an adapter spacer to fit them though, if you feel you must have them, but at that point I'd recommend just buying a new set of vossens that will actually fit your car. Before you buy any wheel make sure they'll clear those brakes up front, too.

Ahh somehow I completely missed the 4G part.... My apologies. Well what size are the wheels? Do you know if they have enough brake clearance?

They are 20's. they are in the black market. I need to contact him again because the tires he has won't work on my 2g RL. Thanks for the input guys. Maybe I can sell the tires and repurchase a size that will fit my application. https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/vossen-cvs-falken-452s-879743/

The deal is pickup only. If you're serious, meet up with the seller and bolt them on. If they fit, take em.

^ I second that. And why won't those tires work? They're almost identical in height and won't affect the tranny at all. They're a bit wide for that size wheel imo, but unless you'd prefer a different size I don't see any mechanical reason why you can't run them.

Yeah. My mother lives in NY so I would kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I will see. I saw others with 20's on the 2g RL with tires not as wide so I thought they were too wide. Thanks guys.

From what I've heard of NY streets, I would go as wide as possible on the tires.
