Pictures with 17's?
Can yall show some pics of the TL with 17" rims. I want some black ones.....Also, do yall think 17 is to small? Im just trying to get some pics to determine weather to go with 17s or 18s.

17" in black will look nasty. Way to small for that just stick to Type-S rims

your never gonna find a 17 inch wheel with a 2 inch lip first of all and if you did the offset would be way off and would rub. i have 18's and if my car wasnt so low ide think they were small. i agree with whomever posted it 17 or lower stick with stockies.

With 18 NEVER run 225/45-18 because you will rub as hell in the back ... and its maybe 1-2% difference on your speedo ..

With 17in run 215/50-17 or 225/45-17 with 18 225/40-18 nothing else

18x7.5 is the size to go offset between +45 and +51.. +48 is the best .. +45 maybe they will rub a bit in the back, just cut the tabs if its happen.. do some researches on the forum it was discuted a lot of times..

Here's my TL-S. I got 17s cause the tires still have a good 20,000 on them and I wasn't going to ditch them for an inch bigger wheel

These are 17". I went with 17s cause the tires still have a good 20,000 miles left on them and I wasn't going to ditch them for an inch bigger wheel.
