bud you gotta get something new.. if you go lower, or even if you dont. youre gonna end up really screwing your rear panel up when the car comes down on that wheel.

they design is nice, but they arent meant to fit on a TL.

Is your TL Canadian or do you have DRLs hooked up?

You'll need to run major camber for that rear wheel. You'd be better off getting another set of wheels. Besides fixing the front lip, the rest looks good.

the amount of camber you'd need to run to fit those wouldnt be reasonable for DD.

leave it as is untill you can save up for new wheels.. or sell/trade those to somebody for another set.

those rims are fine for a TL, the problem is his tires. They are way too beefy and those tires are made to stick out to protect the lip.

You should get a different set of tires and run a bigger stretch and you will be fine when you roll the fenders.

just constructive criticism and i'm not knocking you in any way. i think the car would look good, if it were RWD.

did your car come with the lip? i maybe a little color blind, but it looks like the colors don't totally match?

the RIM itself is sticking out a good ways past the fender.. even with the smallest tires available.. they are going to poke a substantial amount... he just needs a smaller witdth or better offset.. neither of which can be achieved with that wheel.

smaller tires will help, but not solve the problem.

Good plans so far. I mean from far away it looks alright.

I wasn't digging the intersection lights...IDC how JDM it is.

Wheels are a nice style...better offsets and it would look great. Oh well you can always go with better looking and fitting ones later.

I like it

I think some pretty damn nice stretched tires and some aggresive ass camber would look good.. but then again, I love aggresive fitments. but most people on here dont
