Im thinking about getting a set of these. Does anyone have them on their TL?

The guy told me to get 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 in the rear with a 35 offset all the way around for the staggered look.

I want my wheels close as flush to the fenders.

Another thing is the tire size, since the rear are wider ill have to adjust the width and height accordingly to match the front height. Like I don't want a 2 inch sidewall in the front and a 1 inche sidewall in the back eww lol.

Thanks for any help, I want to order wheels soon.

I like those A LOT! I had the same specs on my TL with a 235/35/19 and 265/35/19 with a Tein S-Tech drop. Had to roll the quartes but was perfectly flush with no stupid pulled tires.

I hope I don't have to lower it but im sure I will. Itll look like a 4x4 lol. I like the wheels just trying to get the offsets and tire sizes. Since the rear are wider than the front a diff tire size needs to be used. Im afraid the height from the lip of the rim on one will be like 3 inches and the others will be 2 inches lol.

I hate ordering stuff that expensive without even seeing them. I just got the car last week and want it to look better!

There is a guy around my area with those in 20" and they look pretty damn good.

No lowering? Good luck on this forum.

I don't have a problem lowering it. Just lazy lol. The dealer im going to buy them from said I wont have to lower it. It seems like I would have to tho. I was going to order a set of TEIN springs so that they are here the same time as the wheels until he told me that.

My main problem right now is offset and tire size. Im just going into it blind and the wheel dealers recommendations.

You won't have any rubbing issues with those offsets. And trust me, when you see that your car looks like a Ford Bronco with 19's and no lowering, you will change your mind.

Just so you have a comparison - I am 24 3/4" ground to fender in front and 25" ground to fender in the rear. My last wheels were 19x8.5+34 in the front and 19x9.5+34 in the rear. I ran 235x35 tires on all 4 corners and I never rubbed.

Do some research on AZine... You will find a handful of solid threads that give great info on fitment. You can also check out www.willtheyfit.com.

So do you think I should order the TEIN S Tech kit now? it says 1.2 in the front and 1.3 in the rear, that doesn't seem like much. It's hard to say without the wheels first.

I have read every thread on this site in the last 2 days and my eyes are about to fall out lol.

I just want to order them tomorrow!

use coilovers not springs or you will just be doing it again very soon

If I were you I would buy coils before wheels. You will be much happier in the end. You can pick up a set of Tein Basics for a decent price and then save for the wheels. Your car will look good lowered with stock wheels. Your car will look like dog shit with wheels and no lowering.

Was my post just over looked?!
I had the same spec wheels and was dropped on s-tech springs. You will need to roll the rear. Every bump you hit you will hit the lip. Keep in mind that this is with a proper alignment and no dumb over camber.

^^^ what size tires did you have? Look at post number 8 in this thread. I was 1mm wider and never rubbed. Not one time in over a year. Not even with people in the back seat. I am lowered on Tein SS and I am lower than where the S Tech kit puts our car.

EDIT>>> Never mind. you were rubbing because you were running 265 in the rear.

I actually decided to go with something different. I just purchased these instead. Saved me some money and I actually like them a little better. Looks more classy.

they are 19x8.5 +32
19x9.5 +35

Should I order those TEIN S springs? it only says it drops 1.25 in the front and 1.4 in the rear. Or should I wait till the tires are on to see what to buy? Would be nice to have them at the same time tho.

I would go S-Tech if i were you. Here is my car with the same wheels specs and s-tech springs. Yeah you could go lower but I wanted to keep driveability:
