That is one sick combo you got there!! Our TL's Rotor are way too small for the size of our vehicle. 14" looks perfect and all TL should of come with this size I love the aggressive rear wheels you got there!! That is just pure sex!! You have one of the nicest TL on board!! All you need now is a BBK for the rears and it will be perfect!!

I was contemplating doing the same front bbk setup and tossing the front brembos on the rear. I know i would need to custom fab a bracket to hold the front brembos on the rear. But that would mean wheel selection would be even that much more harder to clear front and back. None the less awesome build Drew.

That rear looks bad freakin ass, but the front looks weak sos, comparatively. Way too much of a difference, they almost look like completely different wheels. You needed 9.5 up front if you were gonna do the concave look.

However man, the back =

thanks man... the rear Rotor BBK kit is another $1300. i got the rear OEM size Rotora slotted/drilled rotors for the rear with Rotora H2 pads so the rear BBK kit will be something that i may look into but for now it's back to tighting up the suspension with the rear sway bar and more add-on performance power.

nah i went with the staggered look. the big brake kit makes it up. there have been a couple of members that tried it but TireRack had these wheels in stock.

bforbrian tried it with his setup and he pulled it off nicely... but the blue lugs
would have taken away the darkness of the gun-metal and the sky blue color the Rotora calipers popping from behind the rims. i got the titanium-gray Rays lug nuts to color match the wheels.

i can't mannn... that's it... going lower will not give me any clearance and i will rubbbbbbb!

Offset is in the +40's so its not that insane. Owever, the width is insane.

Yup... but in order to get the 19x10.5 wheels to fit I had to run a high offset. There is about a finger width between the inner wheel/tire & the H&R coilovers. No rubbing but just enough to clear.

with a finger gap you could still get the offset in about 30s. But lets just leave the crazy offsets to me

there are a lot of nice TL's on the board, but yours truly is perfection. Clean, smooth and ultra aggressive. you really have, in my opinion, the best TL on the ZINE. Nice work.

what else can I said, TE37 is just too sexy.

I got the same rims, but a little different setup.

my front is +22 at 8.5 (more concave)
rear is +34 at 9.5 (also with lip)
