'08 TL-S 6MT - New Member Intro
Hello everyone! Picked up my TL-S 2 months ago as my daily and love it so far. Not went crazy on the mods yet but so far mostly suspension upgrades. Played around with wheels a bit and wanted to go slammed on 18's but I can't stand how the caster on the rear of this car is so went 19's so the caster wasn't as bad. Still on 100% on my wheel color but for the time being CCW SP500's 19x10's front and 19x10's rear all wrapped in 265/30/19 Nitto Invo's

Im not into the whole colored wheel thing that seems to be the thing to do now on the forums, but other than that sweet looking car. If those wheels were like a dark grey color (similar to OEM type S wheel color) then I would say the car is amazing. Looks clean though!

I like it. It's different, which is cool. You can see grey or black wheels any day of the week but it's not every day you see blue wheels. Looks good. 
What is the offset on those wheels?

Haven't fully got it dialed in yet...not my first run doing a flush setup...can't say on the forums but I work for a wheel manufacture. Camber is set to -1.5 degrees up front and toed out pretty bad until tomorrow so up front it wants to rub a tad doing sharp or u-turns. If I run more negative camber to pull the wheels away from the fenders more and/or raise the front a 1/4" it would cure the issue however I'm OCD about the way a car sits so I'd rather it rub :-). I plan on getting sways front and rear which may take care of the weight transfer rubbing issue all in all without ride compromise.
Thanks for the feedback...hated the blue when I first put it on; seemed like a good idea in theory. Been on there for 3-4 days now and it has grown on me still want to re shoot them a slightly darker blue as they look neon/candy in some lighting conditions which I don't care for. I test fitted many wheels and hyperblack was ok and hypersilver etc was boring. I see stuff like this day in and day out so I'm wheel color bored. lol Have another set of SP16a that are getting polished lips and this new glass bead painted centers. Looks like a ton of metallic and the glass bead laying on top of each other makes the color gold. Should be toned down from this setup.
Thanks! Yes so far I've only got the front a-spec. I do plan on doing the rear.
That's the million dollar question! +41 up front but you can go as high as +44 with just barely clearing the spindle. Rear is +35.
See the quote above...:-)
