Falken Torque 5's 19X7.5 +42 offset
Will they work? I keep reading soooooo much about what will and what won't work as far as offset is conscerned. But I have also found lots of pics of peeps out there with these rims on their TL's. Do these rims rub???? Anybody? Anybody? Buller? Anybody? (sorry a lil Ferris Buller humor,lol) But seriously does anyone know if these are one of the odd rims out there that is the exception to the rule of anything less than a 45 offset not working? I really do like the rims, but I won't be very happy if I pay out the a** on shipping then they rub. So please somebody, anybody........Help a brotha out!!!! LOL

Thanks bro, but I've read that 100 times. lol I know the "general rule of thumb" with the offset, but I know that there are some rims that are the exceptions to the rule. I was just wondering if the Falken Torque 5's are one of the exceptions???? But I do appreciate the insight!
Thanks Again

There will be people who say it will fit ... but despite there being measurements, there are some variations among manufacturers. A 7.5" width with +42 offset ... unless you are willing to take a chance, cut tabs / roll fenders, maybe even run a little negative camber ... it'll work.
But are you willing to live with a possible terrible fitment / rubbing / premature wear of tires? It's as simple as that.
Ballers gotta pay to play.
But by the sound of things ... look elsewhere.

Good point! I don't think it's worth that risk. I've done the whole lowering my car, riding on negative camber, tearing up tires,etc..... on my old car, and it wasn't fun. But if I get a 45 offset I should be ok,right? Like on the foose Speedsters?

Sweet! Thanks!!! Do you know of any other nice chrome 19's that would fit in the measurements by chance? I know chrome is ghetto to a lot of people on this site, but what can I say I guess I'm still a lil ghetto! LOL
