This is only a guideline, not an end-all, be-all. Those who have done suspension work may have to find a higher offset than that posted to make sure their application will not have any problems.

20s look good on that picture, but imagine driving that thing? I am not down with that. I am on 19'' and its the perfect size you can go for, MPO.

i agree with the majority. the wheels are too big for the tl. tl's should not be riding on dubs WHAT-SO-EVER. not only does it make the car look funny, the ride quality sucks too. get some smaller wheels and lower it. it'll make the world of a difference. just my $0.02.

I say a drop and better offset are a must...I can't believe they put headlight covers on the Q?! They have one of the most advanced headlight systems with the 7 focused lenses, and they are covered up! Hopefully they take em off at night. I have 19" chrome dropped on HR Sport springs and I know my car runs pretty stiff, I can't imagine how 20's feel! You keep em clean though!!
