07TLFIXITUP

Ok guys I've been reading and reading and have a couple of questions. I know the tire I want to go with (235/35/19or20) so my question lies in the issue of clearance. Will a 20" rim with235/35/20 clear without rubbing? You are asking what is the offset of the rim?? THATS my subquestion. On 19' with the tire size stated above, whats the max offset i can get so not to rub? 20? I'm having a difficult time finding the style wheel that I want for this particular TL .So i'm wondering if I should say F it and start in on 20's.....SOMEBODY PLEASE...help...

Thanks

Fulani has a TL

If you're going 20's you need 30 series tires, 35 series tires for 19's

I ran 245/35/20 with a 40mm offset on my 04 TL and I wasn't even close to rubbing. Check the FS link in my signature to see pictures of my previous wheel/tire set up.

From experience, stick with a 30 series tire for the 20's and a 35 for the 19's.

Don't rush into any purchases. Keep looking around until you find something that you absolutely love.

^No problem man. Good luck with finding yourself a set

07TLFIXITUP

Just found a set. 20x9 offset +35. 5x114.3 what tire will I be going with 235 or 245 30/r20? And will these rub?

I was running 245's on a 8.5" wide wheel, so you should run 245's on your 9" wide wheel. If you are on stock suspension you shouldn't rub.

right on.. thanks for the help.

07TLFIXITUP

Just so I'm clear, I'll need to buy 245/30/20's right?

+3 on getting 19's

blkaspec

+4, cheaper, lower chance of rubbing, lower weight...and with the $ you save invest in a nice drop.

Ok, so what product do I go with to drop the car. I dont wanna do moe than an inch or 2. The streets here in Memphis are NOT exactly what one would call smooth. SOOO INPUT GUYS!! If I go 19's with 235/35/19 tires, how low can I drop it and with what GOOD product would I go with in order to do the drop?

alexSU

iTrader: (3)

I'd go with megan coilovers you can mess with the drop amount and find something that you like.

With springs, it's a small drop and the ride is crappy.

07TLFIXITUP

right on! any place in particular I should look in grabbing them cheap?

+6 for 19's

07TLFIXITUP

FOR THE RECORD!!! I SHOULD'VE GONE WITH THE 19's!!! I dont like the lift that my car took with the 20's. I DONT like every time I hit a generous bump, my shit gets BENT!!! I'm DONE!!!! Damn!! But the 20's do look fly!!!

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Exactly why I sold my 20s. I hated how my car looked lifted like a truck

18s and 19s + a drop FTW

07TLFIXITUP

Mine sits .67" higher than factory height. I can handle a half of an inch its the damn bumps!! I'm F'n tired of a bent rim 4 days after I fix the SOB!!!

Done with rims............................rocket:

04TLSTER

The answer is both 19'' front 20'' back and a drop! Hot!

chi17ky

go with 19's and for coilovers KW V1 FTW

Ftph22a

19s with 35s in my opinion..not a bad ride plus a little bit more curb protection for your wheel investment..

Diesel1281

i ended up going with 19s at the end... with no drop.. im in love with my car all over again..

Get 19". The car is a turf with most 20" wheels. If you do 20" deff get a 235-35-20 tire. My car looked lifted with 245-35. But deff 19" is the way to go.

iTrader: (1)

19" is nore proportional with the car than 20". The new 4G TL takes 20" like the 3G takes 19".

07TLFIXITUP

Yeah ron it does... I Just wish I would've gone with my gut and did the 19's..... I like the rims on the 4G but they changed the f'n bolt pattern so we couldnt change the parts around... bastards....
