little update. I took these pics last week but didnt have time to get them processed until now.

The radius is coming along nicely but i will still need to do some slight camber adjustments.





As you can see the wheel wall rubs the rear fender and bumper. This is the only thing i am unhappy about with the TL. I wish the wheel was centered more to the fender than closer to the rear bumper.







So this is a close to finish pic. I hope i will be able to pick up my car this week friday.

+1 on how you wish the rear wheel is more centered.

The fenders before was a flare and i liked how it gave the TL that wide body look but hated how it covered so much of the wheel face.

No i wont be doing the same setup as Jay. I think he was able to keep more of the oem look due to his wheel set up. My wheels stick out about 1" more than his and i got more suspension travel to compensate for at drive height and while parked slammed.

I can roll on the rears at that height but i cant with the fronts since the tires are literally resting on the fender and front bumper. But i am able roll dirty for a car with 19's.

Dayum! what are your specs? they look like 255/30/20x10, my friend has rims that look that big with those specs. I didn't think you could fit something like that on a TL. It must rub like a mofo, especially with speedbumps. I'm guessing your speedo is off too, by like 15%. BUT damn it looks F*ing SEXY!

the rear is 265/30/19 and i dont rub at all. Not sure if the speedo is off but i dont speed anyways. Last thing i want is to be going to fast that i can adjust to the horrible roads here.
