Allright guys I need your help, after some searching I think I have a good deal on some wheels and I need your help to let me know if they will fit and what tires to get? He needs to sell them ASAP so I gotta pick them up tomorrow:

Questions on Wheels
Wheel Make/Model: Axis Penta
Wheel Size (**X**): F 19x8.5 , R 19x9.5
Wheel Offset (+**): F +35 , R +40
If lowered (amount): A-spec Suspension

Question on Brembo/Big Brake Clearance
Transmission (Manual or Auto): 6MT
Year/Trim (04-07, Base or Type S): 2005

Will it clear the brakes?

What size tires?

Do I need a Spacer?

I don't think I need to roll any fenders or anything like that?

Will these wheels be flush with the fenders?

Your help is greatly appreciated, I hope this is the winner and I get to change my look.

Thanks

Hey still here, have another fitment question for you! Ballinfizzle's ccw's were 18x9.5 +18, 18x10.5 +22 . I'm planning to get 19x8.5 +15, 19x10 +22. How does the fitment compare to Ballin's CCW's? Is it harder, or easier? Planning on running 225/35/19 rears, 215/35/19 front. Automatic.

hey still here jus picked up some g35 stock 19's rays and its rubbing in front and back.. using 225/45/19 front.. 245/40/19 back.. what should i be running to avoid the rubbage... Thanks man.

**dont know the specs of the 19's **

You need to run 235 35 19 all around. If you really want to stagger the tires go with 225 35 19 in front and 245 35 19 in back

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

+37 and it will require a 5mm spacer

man speaks the truth simply by using a tire size calculator you can determine that

225/35-19 is acceptable and so it 245/35-19
as both are close to oem 235/45-17...

hotgrease

will 215 x 50 x 17 tires fit ok on 2004 t stock rims?

horsepowercrzy18

that size will work just fine but is a little skinny in my opinion for the TL

hotgrease

thanks for the reply. what effect will a skinny tire have on drive quality, etc? the tires i'm looking at are winter tires so i wouldn't really be tearing around in them. thanks!

horsepowercrzy18

well considering the factory size is 235, i would stick with that or higher. the factory tl rims are 8'' wide and call for a 235 size tire. you can go as low as 215 and as high as 255 on an 8'' wide rim. having a 215 on an 8'' wheel will not ride quite as good because the tire will be slightly stretched on the rim also causing room for curbage to occur. Also the car will not handle as good with 215 size tire. Also the more width you have on the tire, the more grip you will have in all weather conditions. You want some protection from curbage and at least factory handling specs or more, so either stick with factory 235 or go higher. in my opinion, I would try 245 45 17 since you have plenty of room with the tl rims high offset of 45.

Which tires would look better on my RJ Legend Liquid Silver 19x8

235/35/19 or 245/45/19 ?

ZhenyaF

iTrader: (6)

5 minute edit rule - car is not lowered

horsepowercrzy18

235/35/19 imo

I agree in part sometimes with a winter tire you want to go slightly thinner to get better traction in snow... look for 225/50-18 and you should be great...

do not stagger the tires

InWI

Will the stock '09 TL rims and tires fit an '07 TL-S? Looking to get a set of wheels with allseasons for this winter and change out to snows after I use them up this winter and next summer.

Thanks

The rims wont fit, they are a different bolt pattern

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

they are 5x120... you need 5x114.3

I'm wondering if this will fit.

Wheel: A-SPEC Gunmetal
Size: 18X8.5
Offset: ?
Lowered: H&R Sport Springs

I'm thinking about going with either some Falken FK452 255/35-18 or 255/40-18 tires. Will there be any rubbing issues with either tire size? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Inaccurate

WiLLrOx,

Good choice on the 255 width.

The oem tire has a diameter of 25.4 (235/40-18).
The 255/40-18 has a diameter of 26.0
The 255/35-18 has a diameter of 25.2

To me, it is a easy decision. I would get the 255/35-18.

With a slightly smaller diameter tire, you will get (not sure if you will notice although) better braking and acceleration. With the slightly larger diameter (255/40-18), you get less braking and acceleration.

The only downside to the slightly smaller diameter tire is that your wheelwell gap will be slightly more. To me, I am not bothered by wheelwell gap.... I would rather have the performance.

However, if you are easily bothered by the gap and like the appearance more than the performance, get the slightly larger diameter (255/40-18).

I highly doubt that there would be any rubbing issues with either tire.

Inaccurate

In my post above, I was using generic figures.

I just checked the falkentire.com website and found this -

The 255/40-18 has a diameter of 26.4
The 255/35-18 has a diameter of 25.1

I would really advise against the 255/40-18. That is getting fairly large.

How about these.. will this fit? on my brembo tl?
245-35-19 fronts 19x8 fwith 32 offset
275-30-19 rears 19x9.5 with 32 offset

bzyrice

iTrader: (10)

I can change the tires to 235/35/19 if that will allow the wheels to fit..

horsepowercrzy18

32 offset is a little agressive in the front, so you will need to run 235/35/19. 245/35/19 is almost guaranteed to rub

For TL w/Brembo

Enkei RPF1
19 x 8 +48mm


btw... they are on clearance at tirerack for $249 each

horsepowercrzy18

They will work but you will need 15mm hubcentric spacers and run 235/35/19 tires

Another question - My car isn't lowered and I'm running RJ Legends 19X8 with 235/35/19 tires.
My friend was driving behind me the other day and told me it looks like I need a camber kit - do I?

Inaccurate

ZhenyaF - Do you have a heavy boom box in the trunk?

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

any wheels with spacers will work

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

require an 10mm spacer actually but 15 would look best

yeah if you got a box in the trunk you will be preloading ur springs causing that negative camber appearance... the only sure way to know is getting an alignment and going by the specs... anything bellow -2 degrees is within acceptable range

ZhenyaF

iTrader: (6)

Nope, but I do have some things in the trunk that probably add up to 20 lbs.
