New Rims

Have 2002 TLS w/ factory body kit and spoiler. Everything is still factory original. Time to get new tires so I'm looking into some new rims. Anyone have any good recommendation for this car?

What do you guys think of this?

Does this fit on 2002 TLS. I've not lowered my car but may consider it now since it's over the warranty period.

Thanks.

They will rub. You need to look at a much higher offset for that wide rim. +48 or higher

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'm just too new to this rim thing. Is there a guideline that has for differing wheel size and width what the offsets should be? I'm not even sure if I'm limited to 18", 19" or 20". Also what kind of mounting does TLS have? I know it has 5 nug nuts.

Will these fit?

those are some phAT rims.. i REALLY like them but i doubt they wil fit.. 2 reasons

A- the offset
and
B- the width of the rim is probably gona be 8.5 and greater which will cause rubbin

So I have to stay below 8.5 width but can go as big as 20"? If I buy a rim that's 19" x 8" what is the offset I need? Again I haven't lowered my TLS but I may do so 1" or 2" to eliminate gap after I install new rims.

Yeah, I did do search but I guess I just didn't know what to search for. I'll look through your link to see if it'll give me some more information or clues on what to search for.

Thanks.

Those 20's are some damn tight!! I would say they won't fit. The likelyhood that those have a +48 offset or higher is highly doubtful. This is the exact rim I want, but I cannot find one that has the correct offset and in 19". Argggggggggggggggh

You need at least a +48 offset, so it wont rub
