20's on stock TL-S?

I found a set of wheels that i like but they are one size bigger than what i wanted. It's 20 instead of 19. Here are the specs

Front - 20x8.5 +29
Rear - 20x9.5 +32

Tires
Front - 245/35/20
Rear - 255/35/20

would this fit on my TLS w.o any mod. I don't want it to be rubbing or anything like that. My TLS suspension is stock. Thank a lot

you need to be dropped to pull off a 20 inch rim

you need to be majorly dropped with the correct tire size for it to look AMAZING.

I don't know how many times I've said it.

You do not put aftermarket wheels on a stock height car.

Drop it 2 inches and go with 19's...20's can be done if they have a lip and dropped on some coilovers...

Dragon, the guys are right....20's are just too big for this car. They look out of proportion on a TL.

i got two sets. Work schwert sc1 in 20's or work varianza t1s in 18's. I really wanted the sc1 as that is the look i like but being 20 really held me back from pulling the trigger. As for suspension, i will have to live with stock for now as i don't have enough for both wheels and suspension. I gotta get my electrical engineering degree and go make some REAL MONEY

ok the guy with sc1 just respond me back and gave me a really good deal on it. I'm so tempting to pull the trigger. I mean can i ride with stock suspension until i get enough for tein ss?? I don't want to let this goes by . Its very hard to find these for sale and for the right price. I almost had it when noober had his on for sale but he wouldnt ship and keep on changing his mind. So confused ahhhhhhhhh

here is the link

$2500....I would get the Teins first....SS are not necessary unless u really need the dampening adjustment...The tein basics are nice and less expensive...I've rode on both...get basic coils and use rest of $ towards 19's...

These are discontinued. Even if i could get them new, i won't. For $700 a pop w.o tire? . He gave me a good deal not 2.5k lol. What tein are you using can u give me the link. I look up tein ss and it cost 900ish for new. Plus, these rims have lips so it will look smaller than normal won't it?

Listen to Italiano, he was one of the pple that convinced me to go to 19's. Also my boy has SS Tein coilovers and he loves them but he said that the basic street do the job just fine and he is on 20s and said if he could he would go to 19s.

I will likely get those basic coil cover with the 20's SC1.
