TIS Wheels 537MS on 2009 RL

I found some wheels I really like and think they'd look good on my '09 RL.
By the look of them I'm pretty sure they'll clear the brakes. I'd be looking at getting 20X8.5. Theses have a +40 offset. A question I would have is, will that bring them out fairly flush to the fender (which is what I want) or not. If not, I could always get spacers I suppose. Here's a pic. If anyone is good with Photoshop feel free to "install" them for me.

Those look nice. I can probably do a chop tomorrow.

What's with the goofy center cap? I'm trying to figure out if those are faux lug nuts molded onto the cap or if there are holes in the cap where the lug nuts come through. Maybe it's a multi-drilled wheel and the cap is designed to cover up the unused set of bolt holes?

Bdoggprelude, the picture really doesn't do the wheel justice. The center cap looks retarded in the pic, but in person it's hardly noticeable. I'm not sure of the purpose of the cover myself. There are no extra holes and those are the actual lugnuts. The pic that 007spy posted would be more representative of what they look like. Or this.

There are two main issues with getting a great photoshop. 1) There aren't great pictures of the MMC RL. 2) There aren't great pictures of these wheels. Rare wheels + rare car = small chop with lighting mismatches.

Oh man!! WOW!. Good job. Seriously, that looks awesome! I really appreciate you taking the time to do that.
I think they look great and I'm pretty much sold on them.
My only concern is the offset on them.
My stock wheels have a monster offset of +55. These are +40. I'm thinking it will bring the tires out nice and flush with the fender (which is what I want). Is there anyone with after market wheels on their MMC RL that can confirm this? Thanks again guys.
