I will run some 225/40/r18 with these wheels, so I am looking for someone with talent to roll these once I get them on.
I've not felt any rubbing yet on these stockies, and I'm about 1.5 lowered in the rear and 2 in the front.

I believe Velocity... Getting them from this local rim shop. They told me since they are a small business/company they cant afford to do anyother setups such as staggered etc. I'm sure I could probably find them online and buy directly from the supplier... Which is now a thought because I really wanted to got a lil stagged with 9's in the back...

^ yea i think eventually you are going to want a more aggressive look so that is why i was asking what other options are available to you... i found them on line do not get them they are only offered in 18"x7.5" +38mm even narrower than stock rims

I stand corrected then. 
I'm working on spacers as well. I picked up a pair of 15mm and tried them on both the front and rear. Indeed, like many have said, it gives the stock wheel that flush look in the front. It's not quite enough for the rear, where 20mm looks to be the answer. However... I also have a pair of 25mm on their way just for kicks and giggles. I want to find the exact look I want, so I figured that this would be the best way. I'm looking forward to seeing the results in person on my own car.

thanks for the opinions guys....
I have not purchased them yet. Murph, they sales person at the shop kinda was iffi, didn't really know his stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if they are 7.5 and not 8's.
and some some idiot bumped into the rear quarter panel at work, and will be fixing it.. lol.
My second choice was the xxr 527 I believe, in chrominum black, I'm just waiting to see how it will look on TLdudes car first (same AM)
@Red Voodoo, I agree, 1 thing I hate seeing is a TL with rims that don't look as good as stock. As far as for the 25mm for the rear will mos def work...

Depending on your wheel and tire and stance...
25 would be too much for me. And I'm rolled as it is.
PS...for all of you thinking of getting spacers...spend 1/2 the price.

For my 07 tls should I just get the 20mm spacer if I'm just looking to have them flush with the fenders? Im planning on keeping the stock rims on there. Sorry I'm still an amateur at this.
Edit: would you need to get the wheels realigned after installing these?

15 in the front and 20 in the back, thanks guys! Your will look great once the rims get put on there, can't wait to see the pics!
Is there any need to get the wheel realigned after adding spacers?

Technically, you are not changing any of the geometry of how your wheel points down the road so I would say "no"...you don't need it. If you put on a 4" spacer and it pushed the wheel out so far you started cambering or sagging, then maybe. But not for 1" with a 25MM or less.
Hey, I made a whole thread sharing my experience on spacers...but don't worry, I spend the money on ichiba's first...just did more research when I put 20MM back on my fiance's car...akata is made by the people that make vossen wheels...local and I trust them.

LOL! Damn it! A hard luck son of a bitch I am. Paid what I now see was a hefty premium for the Ichibas. Thanks for the link for the discussion tho!

I have three sizes of spaces on order... a pair of 15mm, 20mm and 25mm. I plan on taking pictures of these in different configurations so that people can refer to them when considering if they want to use spacers with the OEM wheel. One will be able to compare the following applications:
15 F / 15 R
15 F / 20 R
15 F / 25 R
20 F / 20 R
20 F / 25 R
25 F / 25 R
Perhaps I can get this done next weekend, weather and schedule permitting.
