Your new wheels look nice, but your ride looked better with the GT-Vs Your TL-S manages to look great with all your wheels combos

I dont like the look at all. They look a little too gaudy for my taste, especially on a 2nd gen TL

How did you roll your fenders? I need to do mine now with the new offset and drop. Did you rent the Eastwood Fender Roller?

I have to roll the front fenders more than the rears. Do I have to take all that plastic crap out of the wheel well?

i've never had to roll my fronts... more specifically, you should have to roll your rears before front... what are your specs and tire size

I have the Tein SS coilovers, dropped to one finger gap. I just got the 17" RonJon Servo's which are 7" wide. My tires are 215/50-17

The Servos has an offset of 42 which is why they are more flush with the fenders than my type s rims. Should I raise the coilovers a little?

no? why would you raise it... 17x7 +42.. that should be plenty.. no reason to be rubbing.. 3G stock is 17x8+45.. your servos should be sitting slighty more inside than the 3G stock..

if i can run 18x8+35 in front.. you should be fine... then again... i don't have fender lining and folded the tabs in..

One problem with what you said...I have a 2nd gen, , lol

They are DEFINITELY rubbing though, rough marks on the tire, im gonna try to cut or roll those tabs in the rear and see what I can do with the front today.
