I think they are talking about 20" wheels... On your signature it lists 19" wheels... Are the wheels on your signature NOT the same as the ones in the pictures...?

No disrespect, but those things are far from "fitting". 20x8.5 +45, look at picture #8 to see how far they stick out of the wheel well.

Props for trying, but that's not even close. I can't believe you'd be able to make turns.

Monster truck rally? I know this link has been posted somewhere else on this site, but since you havent seen it... here's a frickin badd ass TL dropped on 20"s without a kit. How you like that?http://www.604racing.com/gallery_cus...3.2tl_pics.htm

I wish I could tell you that it's mine and there's no rubbing whatsoever, but I've never seen the car in person. I'm workin on 19"s with H&R Race springs... I'll keep ya posted on how that goes

Andytran, what offset were your 19"s? And did you have 225/35 tires? That's exciting to hear, I'm just nervous that the front will rub with +45 offset and a 2.2 inch drop. The back should be fine, I think it's the same as the sport drop, and i've heard there are no problems there with that set up.

okay, now that I have a second to post...
the 20's on my car didn't rub that bad NSX, and the fact is that, although they were 45et, and I had Eibach prokit, I could have used them without problem, if I had rolled the rear fenders. Adding to that, my list of mods has different wheels, because I have changed my wheels quite a few times, and these should be my most current specs, but will change again next month with any luck. As for all of you that want to know what wheel that is, it is the HP Racing TK9 in chrome 20*8.0 with a 45et and a 245-35-20 Nitto NT555 tire (if my memory serves me rite.), to all of those who don't like the 20's, hey cool, but some people do like it, so don't tell them, that it can or can't be done, unless you've tried it yourself. On another note, if you do want to put 20's on your car, I suggest a 2 or 3 piece wheel, with a 49-53 offset, and a maximum width of 8.5 in the rear, and 8.0 in the front.

20S ON A TL WILL FIT NO PROBLEM YOU JSUT HAVE TO GET THE RIGHT OFFSET AND ITS GONNA RUB ALITTLE. 20S WOULD OF FIT ON MY 99TL I WOULD JSUT HAVE TO RAISE THE CAR UP. AND STINGRAY I CANT REMEMBER WHAT OFFSET IT WAS ANYMORE BUT IT WAS 235 SERIES. AND NO RUB AT ALL AND MY CAR WAS PRETTY LOW. TYPE IN RACIGN HART C5S AND YOULL SEE THE THREAD I POSTED THERE YOU WILL SEE MY CAR WITH THE 19S.

i have 19*8.5 with 45 offset all around, without dropping the car the rims stuck out, but when i dropped the car, the rims tucked nicely...

importcult, i think you had 20*8.5, due to the fact that you had 8.5, it made me get the 8.5 width rims that i have now...

i actually prefer the 45offset, it fills the wheel well perfectly, the higher offsets make the rims in the rear more flushed...
