Very nice! Any rubbing issue for the rear? Would be nice if your TL was lowered another 1/2inch front and rear?.

the ride is tight! i think 20's look the best on the tl. its a nice ride, might as well go all out! i put 20's as well on my tl and im very satisfied, even if you didnt lower it, it would still look nice! i went gunmetal on mine, didnt want to go chrome, im not all about the bling bling fashion. i like it lookin more euro! its your car, do what pleases you, not anyone else, peace!

those rims look hot on your car. I was thinkin' about gettin' them, except in 18" (mostly b/c i don't want to mess w/ how the car rides). Good job w/ the waxing too, looks nice and glossy. What kinda wax did you use?

With a 245 tires I doubt the tires are that thin, should be plenty of protection. I think the car looks SICK with the 20's, if I owned a TL it would look very similar to these pics.

Awesome job, dude.

Hey, KPTL check out these TSW.




20 inch TSW Thruxton wheels I recently put on the TL. Oh yeah, do you have any rubbing issues? I was trying to read the other post but, I don't think you replied to any of the questions about rubbing issues with the Eibach drop.

Nevermind KPTL I just found the post you said about it not rubbing unless you lower it another 1/2 inch. But, dont you have problems turning the steering wheel all the way one way and it rubbing?

Great job bro! that looks perfect! 20's are the best match. Do you have any back/side pics.. I want to see how the offset sits. What is the offset if you dont mind? thank you.

I believe the rims are a 38 offset. I'll have to ask my friend who ordered them for me from his shop. Rides good but, for some reason now it pulls to the right a bit. I checked all the tire pressure and they're all the same pressure. Buddy of mine said switch the tires from back to front and see if that helps and if it does it means that there might be something wrong with the front right tire. Any ideas?

At first I rubbed but since I rolled the fenders everything is perfect, rides like a dream.

Cool KPTL! Haven't decided if I really want lower the car yet. Thinking about Tein, Eibach or Comptech springs. Any opinions...
