Sure, if you know someone who has a TL-S and come come with you, lol. Seriously, I need the TL brembo brake clearance, I already know which offsets will work on these cars, but the spoke shape is unique to each style of wheel, so i really have to check and double check the caliper clearance of this wheel.

Page two update since some don't like to read the whole thread.


Ok, I need one more test fit to decide the offset between 38mm, 40mm or 43mm. I am trying to see if the 43mm will clear the brembos, so anybody with an 07-08 TL-S or an 04-06 6 speed, please let me know if you can come by for a quick test fit of one wheel. Obviously, if interested, I can hook you up on a sweet deal on any wheel you liek that we carry. Call me, (914) 557-8132!

so we are settling on a 40mm offset, that will clear the calipers with 4mm to spare.

Thanks Eugene, awesome help coming thru, nice to meet you and your friend. Hope youy enjoyed the stick-shift driving lessons, lol.
