Will this size fit on my TL??
I have a 99 TL premium and need some help. The wheels are TSW Montage 19x8 with +40 offset and tire size of 215/35r/19. I don't have any drop just the factory suspension. Will they fit at all and do you think it will rub anywhere??

215/35-19 are close to 3/4" shorter than stock. That will change the accuracy of the speedo/odometer by -3%. Also the offset is too low. Lowered or not, you'll likely rub when carrying a load in the rear. You are better off going with a higher offset and getting the right tire size which will closely match the stock rolling diameter.

I got a deal to good to pass up so I already bought these wheels. It rides good but I havent put anything in the back yet. Are 235/35/19's the best tire size to go with?? Also I might want to lower it jus a lil bit, so what do you recommend for springs?? Prolly about a inch lower b/c I dont want it to get to bumpy. Thanks for the info also.

If I was you I would stick with those 215's as that's the only thing that will save you from rubbing. Go wider and/or taller and that will increase your chances for rubbing. As for a drop, I'd say forget about it and move on to something else.
