will 18x9 55mm offset fit 02 TLS?

i m looking at the SSR type C selling in socal. just wondering if these would fit on my 02 TLS. i know its kinda wide, but the high offset helped it to stay inside of the fender. i m worrying will it hit the suspension? also, i might lower it later on.
if u guys have any picture of that size of wheels on a TL that would be great. thx a lot.

saw 55mm offset and i thought "okay, thats not bad. thats same as stock." l

looked at the width of the wheel.
O_O!! that ain't gonna fit bro.

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 32mm LESS (1 1/4")
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 32mm

I think you're gonna hit the suspension.

59.3mm from mount to outer lip on a 9" wide 55 offset.

On my current wheel (8" wide 45 offset) I have 56.6mm extending from mount to lip. It rubbed with a load over bumps (even small) but not without a load. I cut the tabs and no problem.

I think you could do it if you don't drop it. You'll have to cut tabs. BUT, not sure on the inner. If you drop it that would cause it to rub for sure.

Go with less width
