you need to make sure you still within the specs of over all diameter.
I would look for a wheel calculator so it can tell you EXACT OVERALL diameter of stock wheel/tire vs what you looking to get. Since if you deviate a lot from it, your Speedometer will not tell the correct speed vs what you will actually be traveling.
ALSO... rubbing of the wheels does not depend on a tires as much as it depends on the offset of the RIM you actually getting.

3PUTT nice set up. Your TL looks good.
Do you have any pics of the entire car from the side?

stock overall diameter is: 25.33
new wheel set up diameter: 26.72
4mph is not a lot... but it is a lot when you clocked going 79 vs 83 in some states it could make a difference.

Thanks SK7......4mph is about 6kmh in Canada. I guess it just something I would have to be aware of when driving slightly over the speed limit.

You would think that with all the technology in the TL we would be able to input the wheel and tire specs into the computer and it would adjust the speedometer.

3PUTT whats the offset on your wheels
is it 18 x 7.5 or 18 x 8 or 18 x 8.5 or 18 x 9
Could you take a pic for me from the back to show how flush the wheel is with the body
as well as how does the 245/40 tire sits on the wheel.
thanks

For those asking for closer shots of the wheel/tire gap, i will not have my 18" set on until after my mods have been installed because i will dyno the car again right after these mods are done. i need to keep the same tire/wheel setup to be able to make a valid comparison to my baseline numbers....sorry....
