in the first picture the white car next to the TL is a SC400 convertable.

all of those pictures were taken in Japan. so notice the steering wheel on the right. this inspire/saber had an US convertion much like we do here

Those must be 19"s, because no one makes a tire that would fit on our cars for 20"s.
Plus 1-piece wheels always looks bigger than 3-piece wheels because the spokes go out to the lip.....My 19"s on the left and 1-piece 19"s on the right, see how much bigger the 1-piece looks.

BTW tann you think 18x8.5 rims with a +44 offset would fit our TL with no problems?

ok so with the offset, is it possible to shave off some of the hub to increase the offset?

not the amount that you want to shave off that'll be like 12mm I don't think they can shave that much. Try and call the shop that would do it and ask them if they can shave 12mm off the center hub?
Why do you already have the wheels?
