yeah mig, i was looking at it on my photobucket the other night, and just how you can see the pixels above the wheels wells makes it look shopped.
and j those are 215 fronts, and 235 rear.

Awesome wheels. One of my all-time favorite wheels actually. Just some friendly and professional advice for you though...the 215/35/19 Falken FK452's have an 86 load index, 7 indexes lower than the factory specifiactions for your TL. On top of that you're stretching the tires a ton and creating excessive stress on them that they weren't really designed for. I know you don't drive the car all that much/far but it's still a recipe for disaster. I strongly urge you to rethink your front tire setup.

correct me if im wrong but i just googled load index, and load vs inflation tables, yada yada, and it seems that the only people who may worry about load index is vehicles that are towing or rv's with lots of weight, not necessarily passenger vehicles.
and i appreciate your concern Bdogg, but i'm not the only one on the planet running a stretched tire on a 9.5" wheel, if i felt at risk my running the setup.. i wouldn't have spent the money on it. There are A LOT more cars out there running a crazier setup than this.

even with more reading:
If load index of a 452 is 86, that should be 1168lb/tire rougly. and taking the tl's curb weight of 3700lb... wouldnt that be fine?
if anyone can share more info regarding this top i would like to hear please.

well my fronts are 215/35... and i think it was a little overkill. i can fully turn while driving, and does not rub. but its also at -3degrees camber.

Stretched. In my opinion, yeah they look amazing for shows. But it just seems like a recipe for disaster. I'm hoping we're all wrong and that the finish on the wheels hold up and that all will be well.

Nice and blunt. I also like that key word, "yet". I remember when I told myself I wasn't going to max out the Teins 
That didn't work out

Damn that's a sexy ass TL! The wheels look great man! Well worth the wait 
The stretch on the rear wheels looks good but the front is too extreme for me. Just my
of course.

love the wheels. rear fitment looks good, front looks a bit silly with that much stretch though. could use some other matte black items....grill, headlights, emblems, aspec inserts (the non-color matched pieces), etc. maybe some custom matte black tails? keep up the good work!
