Thumbs up I Like It Wet ;)
I met up with jerzydevil609 earlier today to check out his car. Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperative so the pictures didn't turn out as well as I had hoped.

Here are his specs:

HT-Spec Coils
19x8.5 MDX Advance Wheels
Stock offset +45
5x120 to 5x114.3 adapters act as 15mm spacers
Final offset +30
215/35/19

I'm almost confident that he's the first 3G TL to run these wheels and I'm in love with them. Pictures do them no justice.

Enjoy



















In case you have any questions, here's the original thread where the question was first asked about the wheels fitting:

with the wheels, it almost looks like an RL at first glance.
Changes the whole look of the car.
Great job modding Jdevil.


As always, great shooting tyler!

I still think the pics came out pretty damn good. I wish you lived closer so you could do some pics for me when my car is complete. Those wheels actually do look really good on the TL, I'm surprised.

Perfect example of how sexy a non a-spec TL looks lowered. But it wouldn't hurt either...lol. Very nice pics.

Very nice. Overcast, rainy days offer the best lighting for automotive pics.

#1,2,6 are sex in your mouth. Love how it looks, yay for an almost proper photoshoot. Maybe we should start weatherchannel checking before we set these up!

I love pic 3 with the "Stormtrooper" making a slight cameo appearance in it, and pic 6 is just an amazing shot of the stance.

oh, btw not a fan of 19's but those MDX wheels look fawking sick on a TL!
