Imrantl.....did you used my front end guy Muzzio in Ridgewood, if you want your TL to handle and the tires to wear normally. Check out Muzzio's.

Muzzio set my Tein suspension to handle like a SCCA car, he adjust the specs to your driving habit. Example my stock bridgestones have 20,000 miles on them due to Muzzio work of art on front end alignments & I still have little bit than half of thread life left.

But im def down for the photo shoot...if only invincible was around our area that would be a wicked photoshoot

Travis
I'll let you guys know but I highly doubt it, he is difficult to get in touch with. I'll see if he'll give me the car for a couple of hours, that would mean Travis you would have to come to Jersey, or when we have the next Ross Dock meet you guys can meet up. I'll talk to him tomorrow regardless and give Kevin a call.

Yes, they are 19's. I thought they were 20's and so did he when he first saw them. It looks damn good and sits flush. Love the lip too!

They are Work Euroline SL's

Question

is it the angle of the camera phone, the lighting or what, but are those rims white?

Regardless the color, as far as I can see the car looks nice!

Without the spacers, no it wouldnt rub. It all depends on the offset. Now if you turned your front wheels, then yes. But not for the back unless you get an agressive fit.

I have the WORK Euroline FS and my rears are 20x8.5 with +35mm offset. I measured it with a ruler going straight down from the rear fender down to the wheel/tires and it seems that the wheel/tire sticks out of the fender a tiny bit. If i were to lower it 2" in the back, I am afraid the rear fender would be rubbing against the wheel/tire.

Tires are 245/35-20.

You can also go with 235's. I have 235's in the front for the 8.5. That would also solve your problem. From looking at your pics, I dont think you can go any lower.

I was that low originally and I cut up two left side BF Goodrich KDW 245-35-20 and I replace the tire both times, can't stand a cut up tire. After the second tire I rised the Suspension if it was rised a quarter of inch, my front end guy Muzzios in Ridgewood NJ leveled & set the suspension to his specs. The TL looks and handles good.

Hey can you take a picture of the piece of the A-Spec part you cut off in the rear fender well? I have a set of 20x8.5 TSW Kyalami's with a 40 offset, and 245/35/20. I get rubbing in the rear when a take a quick corner or hit speed bump/dips in road. I was gonna try taking that piece out and getting the fenders rolled. I have the aspec drop and kit by the way. Do you have any other suggestions for me? I really don't have the funds to get a new suapension now, so I was hoping for a cheaper solution.................

The front sits alittle higher than the back since I have an Auto, if I raise the back, what would I need to get springs? Sorry I'm a newb to wheels and suspension topics.............

You have to alter the rear A-spec kit all three of us had to do that Acuracy and Invincible. If invincible doesn't get back to you today, I'll see if Acuracy will send you the picture of the cut out.

Thanks K-Shawn. What set up are you running? What is the offset of yours, and what size tires do you have? Also is modding the A-Spec kit something I can do my self, or do i have to take it somewhere? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to get the rubbing issue solved quickly so I can go get an alignment done soon.

I'm running a 35mm offset 20x8.5 in the fronts and 20x10 in the rear. Front tire size is 245/35/20 and rear tire size is 255/35/20. Yeah you can probaly do it yourself or maybe you can take it back to rim and tire shop, show them wear it's rubbing and they can probaly alter the rear A-spec kit. When I installed my wheels, that is what they had to do to the rear kit. I'll see if Acuracy can send you a picture of the cut out, for the A-spec kit.

I removed alittle bit of it last night.......as much as I could without taking the wheel off. It doesn't rubb over the speed bumps anymore, but it still does in alot of other places. I guess I need to take the wheels off this weekend and get it good. thanks for the help

and get off your lazy ass and take a pic Acuracy
