Rota Torque's

I am thinking about getting these second hand rims, 17x8 Rota Torques, great price and condition, not too sure about the size tho.

I have an 03 TL-S dropped about 2", no camber kit so I have .3-.4 degrees camber in front, about 1.5 in the back, I was going to buy some Rota Torques locally.

They are 17x8 + 35, I know this is usually too low of an offset, but with my rear camber, could it be ok? Might have to roll? or no chance of fitting?

I would also like to add my tires are 225/45/17

I was trying to get an answer fast because I pretty much have to decide tomorrow if I want these, they are 150mi away from my house and would have to drive.

Not sure if this is too late ... but with the amount of camber you already have ... (I assume on stock rims with +55 offset) ... and you want to go to a wider rim (8"), lower offset (+35 offset), and potentially wider tires (235 vs 215 type-s or 205 tl-p) ... you are definitely going to have to modify the back for it to fit.

1) cut tabs
2) roll fenders
3) crazy camber

Hey ... if money is no object, you can make anything fit. If you have to make a 150 mile drive to take a look at them just to see how it will work ... I'd say pass.

If money was no object I wouldn't have an 03 TL atleast not an automatic, FWD one


I can get the rear rolled for 55, plus cut tabs myself, So its not that big of an issue.


There are other rims I am looking at, 18x8 +40 but they have 245 tires on them
