schnitzer540i

I am going to put my 19" wheels soon, probably next week.

My rims size are 19x8 with either 45 or 48 offset.

Do I STILL need to cut the plastic after I roll the fender? Or rolling the fender is enough? Please let me know...Thanks

higher the offset the less chance of rubbing. i have a 51 offset on 19x7.5 and dont rub at all even tho im lowered with 5 people in the car. if you can get a 7.5 in rim get that, you dont need a 8 inch cause you cant fit a 245 tire on the tl anyways with a 18inch rim. 7.5 is perfect fit for 235.

19x8 on a 540i????

schnitzer540i

Not on 540i. My 540i use Fikse FM5 19x8.5 for front and 19x9.5

Valuetl,

I am getting Yokohama AVS sport for my tires 235/35

I'll back for good in March to my home country. I will sell all my TL-S's accessories around February. You can buy mine if you want, since I am probably will use the rims for 2 months.

Check www.wheeloptions.com to see the wheels I got....

I'm probably going with a 19" version of the 18's I have now which are Altstadt 1 also from Japan. Did they tell you what offset your going to run. How about tires??? Did you go with tires from Japan also? I'm looking at SO3's very closely.

schnitzer540i

I guess my offset either 45 or 48.

I buy the tires in US.

What do you think of the rims....I will let you know if these wheels give any problems....but I hope it is not....

My concern would be running a 45MM offset and 235 width tires. As you know using WS coils there isn't much space out back. I was worried using 47MM. Hope you end up with 48MM.

19x8 with a 45 or 48 offset on 235 35 r19's. you will rub. your gonna have to roll your fenders if your lowered.

whoa a 3 inch drop. thats gonna sick with 19's on. you will need to roll the fender for sure, as for the plastic youll have to cross that bridge when you get there because i honestly dont know. sorry bro good luck.
