I have an 06 TL with the Aspec kit (Suspension and underbody). I have been looking at the Nurburgring wheels for some time now and deciding between 18" or 19". After looking through many post I have decided to go with 19" wheels. In an effort to obtain the most flush look without using spacers, I am wondering will the 19x9 +32 set-up with 245/35/19 tires work the best. Or will I have to be concerned with rubbing and if so what set-up should I go with? What are your thoughts on this?

Those will fit fine but you'll need to roll your rear fenders to prevent rubbing.

Would it the rear fenders still need to be rolled if I used 235/35/19 tires? Also would it be wise to use a 235/35/19 tire on a 9"?

My mistake in the wording; Would the rear fenders still need to rolled if I used 235/35/19 tires all around and would it be wise to use a 235/35/19 tire on a 9" wide wheel?

235 is a bit narrow for a 9" wide wheel but it's certainly been done before.

CL thanks for the advice, since I do not want to roll my fenders and be concerned about rubbing it looks like I will go with the 19x8 +45 wheel set-up (19x8.5 would be ideal but they are not made in our bolt pattern). I have seen some members go with the 19x8 set-up and it looks good, I was just trying to get that all elusive flush look without having to mod the vehicle or use spacers.

If you have anymore suggestions let me know as I want to make the correct decision and not wind up regretting this purchase.

With 19x8 +45, your new setup won't be any more flush than your stock setup. Stock wheels are 17x8 +45, so your width and offset are exactly the same.

Is a 19x8 +35 available?

marmbmw

Yes, a 19x9 +35 is available and this will more than likely be the set-up that I use, as I do not want to do any fender rolling and be concerned about rubbing issues (Front or Rear).

I meant the 19x8 +35 is available.

That's the one I would go for!

Thanks for the information everyone greatly appreciated

Once I install the 19x8 +35 wheels in the spring, I will see if I need to use spacers on the rear to reduce the tucked in effect. This concern is one reason why I was looking at using the 19x9 +32 wheels. I also noticed that running a staggered fitment seems to get a lot of thumbs down from other members on the forum.

What does the +35 mean? I was looking at some bronze Honda wheels for my 04 TL and they are +55.

+35 is the offset.

Lower offset means the wheels are more flush with the body; high offset means they are sunk into the fenders.

Stock wheels are 17x8 +45; if your wheels are the same diameter and width, they will be recessed into the fender by 10mm compared to the stock wheels.

I don't want to sound rude but it sounds like you need to do some homework and understand everything before you throw money around. A smart consumer is a well educated one. There are tons of threads here on Acurazine that explain everything

Does any one have pictures of the 18 done? I have 17 inch wheels and I am looking at getting TSW Nurburgring 17 inch but worried they will be too small and look awkward. Advice?
