TL A-Spec Wheels on '03 TL-s
I purchased these 18" wheels from a friend who has an 05 TL. He got some aftermarket rims so he sold me these ones at a great price. The wheels do stick out a bit past the fender but I think it looks pretty nice, although the car does need to be dropped. Feel free to leave comments. This is my first time posting images so hopefully it will work.

Well if you do drop you are gonna rub, But I like the factory type-s wheels better, But thats just me to each there own. The ride is looking clean though nice.

Yea i don't think i'll be able to drop it, but i think these wheels looks better than my type-s ones. best of all i got these wheels, rims and tires, for $1,000. it's a great deal in my opinion, they've only been used for a month an a half.

well i've been drivin on these for a few days now. i noticed that when i drive around 30 mph or so over a dip in the road, the back tires rub against the fenders. do you guys think that rolling the fenders would help in my case? also, would rolling the fenders allow me to drop the car without rubbing? i'm planning on getting the h&r sports. thanks in advance

Did you end up keeping or selling these rims?
I want to buy them too but i already lowered my ride with Coilovers.
If i cut the tabs and roll the fenders? will it help the rubbing issue?

haha...i know...returning from the dead
has anyone succesfully run the A-Spec rims on thier TL
Like 8 inch wide, dropped
minimal rubbing?
I understand that tabs will have to be shaved and fenders most likely rolled.
