20's on my 99 3.2 TL

I have 20's on my TL. Is it anyway to make my car higher? It only scraps when I hit holes or really bumpy roads

what are the specs of the wheels and tires? 20x?? and the offset? and the size of the tire? that way we can help u to see if there is anything possible to do to stop it from rubbing.

That's your problem. The tire is physically too tall for the TL. Raise your car to eliminate the rub and at the same tire your car will look like $hit. You may as well look into upgrading your drivetrain to 4x4.

i agree the tire size is just to big try getting a smaller tire, and rolling your fenders

245/35 is the smallest (narrowest) size available in 20's. That is the main reason why 20's will not work on the TL. The 245's are 1.3" taller than stock... :wow: Until a tire manufacturer comes out with a shorter tire (i.e. 235/30-20) 20's will not be a good choice for the TL.

Just got my fenders rolled. No more scrubbing I ran over alot of speed bumps without braking on the way home no scrubbing. I will post pics soon of the wheels and how the scrubbing cut up some of my tires. They charged me $150.00 though for something that took 30 minutes I guess it was no other way. The guy also suggested spring spacers ($20.00) so people will be able to ride in the back.

Sorry but you're a little late with the 20's as there's a black TLS in Vancouver rolling on 20x8.5 Maido LS5 on 245/35/20 for over a year now - and I've seen it in person.

What the hell do you mean by scrub? At first I thought you meant rub but you kept saying scrub. How did you get a special order TL?

245/35/20, i think are the smallest and are meant for cars our size, congratulations on your rims, i bet they look nice, what kind of rims and size/fitment are they?

screw a lift, you need to drop the car, if you don't get a camber kit your rims should tuck when slammed...

c'mon post some pics

IMHO, 20's do look good on a TL and they're not ghetto.

actually it wasnt a hand down. why dont you check my gallery and see what my mom drives. if you will notice they are the same year. you still think im poor? both paid for.. what you gotta say now.
at least im not afraid to post pics of my car. why dont you show us ur high ass TL with ur "dubs" or whatever on it
afraid of being flamed?

i bet his only mods are his knockoff 20s and mud guards, thats why he's afraid to post pics.
oh and noone was hating on you until you said "i got a special made TL"
crackhead a$$ NOOB:tflamer:

Anyone could come on this site and say they have a TL w/ 20s... He doesn't have sh*t. He is probably rolling on 16s. If I don't see pics I don't believe it... Don't let him get under your skin guys he is getting a kick out of it just ignore til you see pics...


I have 22's on my TL. It was a special order... HAHAHA
