2007 TL Type-S 18x9 or 9.5??

Sorry for starting a new thread but not getting any response on the official will this fit thread.

Is anyone running a 18x9 or 18x9.5 on their TLS all the way around? I am lowered on an A-Spec and wondered what if any would fit without mods. I was lokking at the 18x9.5 TSW Nurburgring in a +40. Any thoughts?

18x9.5 +40 with 245/40 rubs with no finger gap. Even after rolling, it rubs in the front where the bumper meets fender. 9.5 with 235/40 should fit fine without rolling fender, 225/40 will fit without any mods guaranteed (well, for me at least)

I'm curious about the Nurburgrings too. I'm on the fence on these and Enkei Raijins. I have the same suspension setup as you too.

18x9.5 +40 offset with a 235/40 tire you should be perfectly fine without any fender rolling especially with aspec suspension. I ran 18x9.5 +38 offset on 235/40 in the rear last year and had ~ 10mm or so left before coming a flush fitment. Im gonna test my luck this weekend when I mount some 18x9.5 +27 all around with slight tire tucking

here is a pic for reference:

I am going to look at a set of the Enkei Raijin in 18x8.5 +35 and the Nurburgring. I still like the XXR 530 in 18x8.75 +33 but so far I have not found anyone that has actually tried to put the +33 on a Brembo brake car. the +35 hits the brakes.
