Nice setup
When did Rotora change the calipers??
Mine look nothing like those.

Looks like they changed the pad retainer setup.

seeing sh*t that everyone else has on their TL and i ended up getting it.
well, not everything but the stuff i like.
![Yum](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/yum.gif)
yes sir, 19x10.5 with a +42 offset... trust me i was tossing and turning
every night thinking that these would not fit but i did my homework and measured... measured... and measured over and over until the rims actually
showed up from tirerack and i did the test fitment. as you can see... you can
put a 10 1/2 wheel on the rears with the correct offset. i would'nt go lower than a +40 offset on a 10.5 width wheel tho.

i got the Volk TE37s after seeing your ride with the bronze TE37s. i had to "bite"
![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
you know i was looking at yours too... and i was kinda disappointed in my setup because you calipers seem to be a nicer blue. it must be the pictures.

BTW, I forgot to mentioned that I'm using Rays lug nuts and TireRack sent me the wrong center caps so I'm ordering the actual Volk center caps... every had to pay $35ea for some damn Volk center caps???
pictures NEVER do any justice. ![ugh](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ugh.gif)
thanks, got a lot of ideas from members on this forum!
it was the only place on Ft. Lewis to take pictures without being distracted and it was secluded. it was hard to do this tho because it was raining and to me it was cold. i took some shots several months ago over the logistic area on Ft. Lewis and the MPs showed up thinking i was taking pics of the buildings.
yeah, the non-brembo TL Rotora BBK is a smaller rotor diameter as well.
Just did a rolled... no pulling unless the guy was doing a pull that i wasn't aware of.
but high offset made a big difference. anything below 40mm the wheels would sticker further out. also, TireRack had these wheels in stock and on sale at their Nevada location. Got these bad boys in 5 days compared to others who had to wait weeks... or even months...

I went with the 19x8.5 (29mm offset) & 19x10.5 (42mm offset) because TireRack.com had it in stock and ready to ship. Also, I went with a setup (fronts) that wouldn't give me any problems with fitment. I did not have the fronts rolled. Also, I knew with my AXIS (EXE Konvex) wheels were also 19x8.5 with a 33mm offset so fitment wouldn't be a problem.
I'd stick with a 19x8.5 size... you don't want to end up with wheels that
will have problems. I took a big gamble on the rears and luckily it worked out. Like Apexilude stated I took this to a new level.
I say to Rodney... go for it! Just don't go below 40mm and run slight negative camber.
