^ +1 ,red lugs do look good rears being rolled because your rear tires hit the fender or just because you want spacers for flusher look? just curious since thats my plan once i need new tires.

Their seems to be negative opinions on these tires when mounted on a TL, I had a set on the Volvo I traded in and after 21K miles they were still performing perfectly and showing 60% tread. I'm very tempted to go against the feedback and slap a set on my TL. The reviews on Tirerack were awful, in my case they were all proven wrong.

No worries sir! I didn't even see the first sentence saying it was coming off soon

Looking forward to seeing the A-Spec kit installed!

I have the same tires in 235/45 and they are wearing pretty damn good, especially considering my camber.

I would be cautious with spacers with how wide those are...
