Will 17x7 40+ Offset Fit On TL-S?

I read the guide and saw that +42 is the max.. do you think 40+ would fit? and would I rub? i'll be using 215/50/17 tires and will be lowered on H&R Sports in the future.

I think you mean +42 is the minimum (or lowest). Your saving grace would be 7" width wheels and 215 tires which would make +40 just boarderline ok. What type of wheels are you going with?

if 18x9 +35 can tuck, 17x7 +40 should be no problem at all, esp. on springs

18 x9 with a 35 offset??? No way that will fit on a 2nd gen TL without rubbing, or modification

i didnt say it'll fit without modification. but compared to that, 17x7 et40 should be a walk in the park with tires that fit, especially on H&R springs.

dont wanna threadjack, i'll create a new thread, since hell its time for a pic anyways.
