Another Offset Question

Hey guys i did my research but couldnt find an answer. I am getting a good deal on RonJon Legend 19 X 8" +48 offset. Does anyone know if these wheels will clear the brembos on manual TL.
I see that tirerack.com claims some wheels with +49 offset and 8" width to fit manual TL. but I couldnt find an answer at acurazine as to what's the largest offset that would clear the brembos.
Thanks

I don't know if they will fit, best bet is to PM ronjon or email him or call him. And with that offset your wheels will be so sunken in, 4mm more sunken in than stock. I would get some spacers while i was at it to correct that weak offset

^ yea regardless if they clear the brembos or not the fitment is pretty weak i would definitely add some 20mm spacers to bring the tires out some

well i called ronjon wheels and they said it wont clear the brembos. ugh now im wondering if i get the 15 or 20mm spacers, would those solve the fitment problem, besides from giving more of a flush look.

I'd get 20 for the front and 25 for the back. and that will fix it no problem.

25mm spacer out back is pushing it a bit. I've got 25 in the rear, with stock rear suspension and stock 17's right now, and it just barely clears. On the driver side where my quarter panel was hit and not yet repaired, I get a bit of rub on a good bump. Now, I don't know how those wheels compare in overall size and offset, plus it depends on the tires you plan to run. But 25mm is pretty close on stock setup, FYI.

^the rims he is getting is at et48 so he might just be ok considering stock rim et is at et45 and your running those 25mm.
