I don't own a TL, I regret every moment for not buying one, so I imagine about owning one all the time, and am waiting for the perfect moment to buy one.

So I happen to have some 18x10.5 +42 wheels, never thought about putting them on a TL until and I saw this video, Yawsport says 18x10.5 +22 and 285/30 tires fit with slight fender roll, apparently the car is as wide as a viper. So with 15 or 20mm spacers maybe I can fit my wheels on my imaginary TL.

First thing I did was come here and search about wheel fitment, found a lot of results about tire stretching, and anyone wanting to put wider tires are apparently crazy. Stretching tires is a big no no for me, too much contact surface is not a thing, this Yawsport video gave me a lot of confidence.

So does anyone have any opinion on this TL? Like, how much fender was rolled exactly? Or can anyone estimate the amount of room between the wheel and the shock with 285 tires? The drop seems aggressive and no rubbing.

Again I'm just dreaming about the TL I don't own, but thanks for reading.

if you dont own a TL; it will be VERY hard to describe to you on how to get wheels to fit.
hint* it's a lot of test fitting...

test fit...rubs..take off.
do work.
test fit. rub...take off
do more work.
test fit, PERFECT!
now for the other three sides.

that's the only way to get your set to work...as there isn't a set measurement.. "Okay, roll your fenders 2mm in the opposite side.." cant do that because ALL wheels, ALL setups are different.

I'm rocking 18x9.5 +22...pretty aggressive to me. and each fender had it's OWN problems..there's NO absolute way; one can tell you how much to roll, etc.
You just have to get in there and play with what you have.

but you dont even have..so there's absolutely no way to tell you, show you, etc.

^This.
I to am riding 18x9.5 +22 in the front and then 18x10.5 +22 in the back and I'm still trying to work the fitment just right. For lack of a better expression, ya just have to play with it.

I watched that video too and it looks like it's set up super stiff judging off the tripoding in the corners, so that could be playing a roll in the overall fitment.

Don't forget, the Yawsport TL also has 335x35x18's on it. BeeeeeefCake!

285 was an old setup.
