No rubbing at all. I think it's because it's 7.5" wide.

I think it will rub if u use 225,I used to use 225for my 5 zigen 18x7.5 and it rubs a lot especially when you lowered it and put 3 ppl at the back,so I have to change it to 215

I'm sure the +50 offset doesn't hurt either

Not too shabby Ben...

But let me ask u: why the rims and not the body kit or headers? i personally don't think the stock wheels look bad...

Thanks.....I always wanted to change the rims because I felt they were too thin (6.5" wide). Also, I like my cars being a lil different and I saw these wheels for sale(used) and I had to get them. I don't see myself keeping this car for that long so I don't want to spend too much on my car. If I get the kit, then I feel I need a spoiler and also bigger wheels (kit makes wheels look smaller). I'm happy w/my decision.

Nice wheels!


Very subtle difference, , but you get the bigger diameter and larger width. I like 'em.

Yup! Yeah, these are a lot meaner and the finish is brighter. The wider rims also help in handling.

I think they look great!!, I actually found these rims on the Tirerack.com website, but if I get them I will buy them from Tim. There is something to be said about wheel Fung Swieg. I want to get those same rims. Did you say no rubbing? I have a 2003 TL so I'm not sure if they would rub on my car, some say that the non Type S have less tolerance not sure if that is ture. I do know that they list different turning radius for the TL vs. Type S, I think it's 34.1" vs 37.4' but dont quote me on that. Agian I love those rims. Thanks for the great pictures, they have helpped me a lot.
