Has anyone seen either of these rims on a TL?

ADR M-Classic
17x7.5
Offset = 45
www.bigwheels.net say they will fit.




AT Italia Flash Silver
17x8
Offset = ???
www.tirerack.com say they will fit.

Italia Silver Flash!

My other question is whether there will be any fitment issues.

I read (after searching) that the offset of the ADR M-Classic might be a problem.

Can anyone confirm this?

I have the AT Italia Flash Sports on mine. Have a look at my photo gallery.

Thanks for the heads up on your gallery.

Do you have the bright satin silver? They don't look like the silver ones I've seen (only pictures on the internet).

Also, do the ATs "stick out" from the wheel well (compared to factory rims)? It doesn't appear from your pictures but the angles make it tough to really judge.

Thanks.

Yes they're the Satin ones.

They are visibly wider than stock, but they don't really stick out. I think they look just right.

I'm dropped on H&R Sports.

I had ordered them with 215/50-17, but the guy at tirerack told me they might rub since the wheels are 17x8.. so I switched to 205/50-17. I think the 215's would have been OK, but better safe than sorry.

I went with Sumitomo tires and I freaking love them. I was out tearin around last night.

Thanks! I plan on using the factory tires until they've got nothin' left in them. No reason for me to spend the money on new tires when mine have less than 500 miles on them.

I'll give ya a reason: get some great summer tires and keep your stocks for winter

Thanks everyone for the replies and P.M.'s I got.

I went with the ADR's "wrapped" with factory rubber.

Gorgeous wheels. Look great.

By your sig, do you mean that you haven't put new springs in yet? If not, don't get OE.. get sports. OE's look hardly dropped at all.. sports look perfect.

Your car will look so sharp.

Thanks.

I'm going with the OE Sport Springs. I don't want too much of a drop. I'm getting older, so I'm a bit more conservative.
