First of all welcome.

Not trying to be a jerk but you can get wider tires at any tire store.

Depends on how wide you want to go. Is there a reason to want to go wider besides the way it looks? Do you track much?

Stock sizing is I believe 215, I believe some members are running up to 255 could be higher.

I am running a 225 on a 9 inch rear wheel, personally i dont drive fast and love the way it looks.

i like the way it looks and i want more traction on the turns im gonna lower on a good suspension eventually but just want to know if you could go wider on a tl type s your setup sounds nice could i get more specs or pics i was thinking falken tires around 235 in the rear and 225 in front dont know lip or size yet or rim choice but i just want more traction i push my tl-s pretty hard on backroads and occasionally leguna seca and the rear slids a bit

Wheels are all up to you. If you like them, go for it. Doesn't matter what others say, as long as you like them. If money is of no concern, a set of HRE or Volks would be a good choice. There are many cheaper but still very nice wheels around. Tire size will be based on what wheel you get in the end and the needs. All season vs summer only with the oem wheels as winter tires and such. A little bit of research on tirerack helps a lot. Good luck with the wheel and tire selection. Keep us posted on your decision.

Just as well, I'm running a set of white 18in Volk RE30 with Continental Extremecontact DW. Loving the looks so far.
