It really comes down to personal preference, future goals (of looks) of your TL, and your budget!

I'm aiming towards gold or silver and either a bbs mesh look or a older Mercedes style

Budget $500-650

With that budget you're probably going to be looking for some BBS reps!

Yeah which is fine by me! I found a 19" x 8.5 with the option of a +15 or +32 offset.. Which offset would be best?

+32 would be better you might not rub with those. The bbs mesh reps are a solid looking wheel. Also check out the rsx type s wheels. 17 inch though.

Hello,
Sorry to jump on your post, I'm looking to purchase Enkei Tenjin 18x8.5 35inset. Car is on stock shock and springs at the moment. Will I need to get a camber kit? Fenders rolled?
Any feedback is appreciated
Thank You? (01 TL)

Welcome 01TLindaworks.


I would start by checking out the sticky at the top of the tire and wheel thread for some insight. 18x8.5 might be to wide. 35 offset is borderline.

On stock suspension height, ya should be ok. But, if ya wanna ever go lower....than ya may need to do some extra work to clear the tires.

Thanks for the help guys. Ended up getting Enkei Raijin 18X8 offset 45. Now I am not sure with what tire size I should go with? I'm looking at 215/40 18 or 205/40 18. Also considering it's my daily driver I want a comfortable ride aswell as the stretch look.
