17x9s on a '00 TL?

I have 17x9s that I was gonna use on my 3000GT but now that I should be getting a TL, I dont wanna give up the rims. Is there any way these will fit with minimal to no rubbing? They will probbaly use a 255 tire. What do you guys think?

yes it should be stamped on the back of the wheel face...you might have a sticker on the inner cylinder.

Looks like the bolt pattern is correct, 5x114.3.

Best bet is to pop one on the car and see, but I'd be pretty sure they won't fit. Too wide and probably too low an offset.

No one on this board has gone successfully with anything wider than 8 inches; I doubt they'll fit

Hey don't I know you?? Are you Casey from the H-A net board. This is Vtecdragon if you remember. You thinking of buying a TL, boy? Good choice! But then again, the 3000GT is not bad either.

nope, they shouldn't fit. I have 17 by 9's on my Z, and the bolt pattern is the same, but I tried fitting it on the TL and they're just too wide.
