Anyways...Thinking about replace a set of bigger rims...17" or 18"? Which size will fit better/ look nicer on TL? Will it have trouble making sharp turn? I have a 01 TL and i droped it.
Thanks in advance!!

18" will definitley look better and will fit perfectly...my tires are 225/45 with H&R Sports, i have no problems, and the car looks awesome. Go for 18's, if nething ull be able to turn better with the thicker tires, i noticed the difference a hell of a lot from the stock 205 to 225

18 and 19's are the best on the tl. 7.5-8 width, and a offset of atleast +47(for7.5) or higher for a 19 to insure no rubbing issues

I am looking to get a set of rims for my 2002 TL Type-S... I have looked around and finally found something that I like: http://www.foosedesignwheels.com/productline_car.php
I like the Type-S rims on the bottom of the page...
But looking at the Product Details of the rim I am not sure which ones to get... 17x7.5 but which offset and which bolt hole setup... If anyone could let me know which will fit I would apprieciate it... thanks...

Then I guess I am sh*t out of luck with keeping 17's on my car... looks like I am going to have to make the jump to 18x8.5 with the +45 offset...

I have 19x8 with +52mm offset. No rubbing with H&R Sport drop and 5 people in the backseat( I will never do that again, trust me.) So yeah, offset if important if you don't want any rubbing.

The ideal sizes are as follows:
18x7.5 +45 offset
18x8 +50 offset
