WOW!!! Your car is HOT!!!!!!!!!

I remember you asking me about the spacers... It would definitely set it off now looking at these pics. I still think it looks damn good.. but would make it fit even more flush with the 15mm's. Dont get the 30mm's. Thats from my experience.

Its weird how the car looks like it has a custom bodykit. Looks so clean!

I like how the front is sitting.. maybe I need to lower mine a bit?

I prefer the 45 offset up front, and the 275/30/19 in the rear.

Staggered setups look better on RWD cars.

That will be the great debate between us TL owners.

He has a 5AT but he added the A-Spec springs that go on the 6MT...

Some guys are doing this... I think it has better handling over the 5AT A-Spec springs...

With the 19's and such a low drop, did you have to roll the fender?

BTW, very nice car!

Nope no need to roll the fenders. The tires are tucked under the fender perfectly. I think if I went with 245/35/19's I might be close to rubbing. But I still have a good 10-15mm clearance from the rear.

i think you just made up my mind between 18 and 19's. although it does look good, it looks like your riding on gumbands (a pittsburgh slang for rubberbands!) i bought this car becuase it is a nice mix between luxury and sport but puttin wheels and tires on like that completely takes away the luxury.

Nope you cannot fit even a piece of thin paper in. The ride feels stiffer with the 235/35/19 tires compare to my OEM's. I can feel more bumps on the road. But I don't mind it one bit.

It's VERY illegal to drive without a front plate in Vancouver B.C.

ed99 was telling me when i was up there that their cops are bitches about it.

and I don' t think anyone that went to that meet made those skid marks. everyone that went were very mature.

OK... so I LOVE these rims and was trying to find them online. When I search on Jaz wheels nothing comes up on Google. When I go the big websites this Axis wheel does not fit the Acura.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Invincible569 and your TL looks hot with your 20inch setup. Your TL looks perfect and I wouldn't change anything else. However you can try to lower it just a tad bit. I would love to see some more pics if you do.

Thanks MugenR for clarifying the front plate issue and yes it wasn't any of us that made those skid marks.

Mugen R,

It has only been a month since our last Vancouver meet in April, and your car is so much different now with those goodies. Please make sure to attend our next meet in Vancouver...

What am I doing wrong?
So help out a newb here...

When I search to put these wheels on the 3rd gen TL the sites say the offset is incorrect and they won't fit... yet I see them here. How can this be? Did you do something special? do they rub... are the sites wrong?

I really like these wheels but do not have the suspension you have so I am worried that since no sites/manufacturers say these wheels fit the TL that I will screw it up. HELP!!

Not much info on their website... price, fit, pics, etc... but they are right down the street from where I work!!! So I'll just stop off at their shop.

Thanks for the info!
