Hey Guys,

I just purchased a 2005 TL 6 Speed. I want really aggressive rims. Post some pics of what you guy are running and the offset. Let me know what mods were necessary for ur set up


Thanks

PS is 18X10.5 +20 a possibility???

ebelp

Yes, it is possible, given the right combination of fender work, suspension, tires, camber, etc...

This is gatoferoz25's car with 18x10+18 and 215/40/18 tires:

No not yet!! Is it a must that I get Cambers?? I like the bulky/Aggressive look... I dont want to drop it more the 1" Bc of the driving conditions in my area.. roads are terrible SMH

our car naturally cambers.
when you lower it and add aggressive wheels, it will camber out even MORE.
so you need the camber kit to correct the camber.
or else you'll be eating up tires.

Lets tackle this one part at a time.
Get dropped first and then come back and see us.

So then you dont think I should look at rims until I lower the car??

Dan(sandman) PM'd me stating that he is going to lower first.
but only wants to lower one inch....Now, this isnt my goal for the TL, but some of you wheel whores/suspension whores can better advise him on dropping it.

If he lowers only one inch, I think he'd be unhappy with the drop.
what do you guise think!?

^agreed. he'll need to slam that bitch to pull of those crazy specs he listed.

Coilovers, camber kits, wheels. In that order.

Sandman1030

How much lower???

ebelp

Lower the coilovers until your tires rub...then raise the car 1/4" at a time until the rubbing stops. Done.
