Hey guys I just purchased a 07 Acura Tl and am looking for some wheels for it. I am looking at offsets and don't know what will look best on my car. I am looking for a nice aggressive fitment. The wheels I am looking at are work meister 18x9. They have offsets from 30mm, 35mm, 38mm, 45mm, 48mm, and 50mm. I also may go with a staggered setup, so if you can give me some ideas on front and rear offsets I will appreciate it.

 

Front 35 or 38
Rear 30

 

Now if I don't want the staggered look can I put offset 30 all around?? Or do you think the staggered set up would look better?

 

I think Rodneyc77 meant 30 (front) & 35 or 38 (rear).

IMO, I'd run +35 upfront & +38 in the rear with the 18x9... but... 18s???
The wheels don't come in 19s?

 

Now with offset the lower number is more aggressive looking than a higher number right?? So for a staggered setup wouldn't it be better to have the lower number in the back?? I can get a set in 19's I just didn't want to go to big.

 

It depends on a lot of factors such as tire width & size, brake caliper clearance, fender clearance, etc.

If your going to run 18x9 all around go with the 35mm offset... but for
better overall looks and a compromise between looks & performance I'd go
with 19s. Trust me on this one. 18s look small on the TL.

I'm running 19x10.5 in the rear with a 42mm wheel offset AND 275/30R19 tires. My rear setup is considered very aggressive for a Acura. Upfront i'm running 19x8.5 with a +29 wheel offset and 245/35R19 tires. There are guys now that have even more aggressive setups than mine (rodneyc77).

 

^ I think rodney was right? Lower offset in the back, little staggered look.

 

Will I need spacers or anything to clear the brakes??

 

well i have spacers just for the look, i like the "hellaflush" look, so i have a 5mm spacer in the rear, and now im going even more aggresive, 5 in the front and 10 in the rear. lol
