Welcome! 20s will fit fine because they make 235/30R20 sized tires, which give you the same overall diameter as stock (could use 245/30R20 too among many other possible sizes depending on your wheel width). You could probably fit 245/30R21 on 21" wheels too. That's 1.2" bigger than stock, which should fit with no problems, but I wouldn't do that. Putting larger tires on defeats the purpose of getting a larger wheel (the bigger tire makes the wheel look smaller). I recommend using Google to search through the Acurazine site to see what people have done. Also browse the tire & wheel threads.

But I agree with ebelp that it will look silly without being lowered. I just got 18s with 235/40R18s (stock diameter), and I think my TL now looks like a 4x4. I'm going to lower it a couple inches or so.

Can you show us what kind of look you're trying to achieve?

Here's a 4th gen on 22s. That's probably what the 3rd gen would look like with 21s.

I'm leaning towards 8.5 wide and +33, but would 9.5 work with +22? I know at stock height I wouldn't really have any problems with anything, but what about lowering about 1.5" here in the near future? My fenders aren't rolled.

If lowered (amount): H&R Sport on Tokico Blues so about 1.5 inch?

Before I order these rims, I already have tires on hand. Using 245/30/20 BF G-Force KDW all around. So rears will be stretched but GForce tires runs wider than normal with beefy sidewalls. Will I sit flush all around or will the rims stick out alot? What about rubbing issues? I do not want to roll fenders. I Have -2 camber in the rear and -1 up front.

Will this be ok?

They also have 20x8.5 +35mm and 20x10 +35mm as options. But I like the most concave possible.

Wheel Make/Model: xxr 530
Wheel Size (**X**):18x8.75
Wheel Offset (+**):+20
If lowered (amount):1.5" max

I have been trying to find this on the xxr thread but I couldn't find the answer. I need daily drive capability and I'm trying to avoid fender pull/roll. Just so I'm clear, +20 gives the slight poke unless I slam the car right? I'm only going to lower about 1.5 inches at the most so would the +33 not be poking at all? If that's the case then I think I'll go with the +33 because I use my car to go all around 4 cities when I work and I don't want to destroy my fenders or chew up my tires. I plan on getting 225 tires if that helps at all

I can only think of 1 TL that has ever looked with 21's. It was years ago, maybe like 2007. It was an AZine member in Japan and I think his screen name was Dancho. Look him up.

Car: Standard 2007 TL
Wheel: 18 x 9.5 +40
Tire: 265/35/18
Suspension: Stock

I know the 265 works on an 8.5" +45 wheel from this thread...

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/they-said-couldnt-done-626278/

So I'm adding 1" in wheel width, and pushing the wheel outwards by 5mm. Do you think this will work with the stock suspension without rubbing on the inside? I know the 245/40 tire size will work for my 9.5" wheel, but I'm looking for BEEF, not stretch.

Thanks in advance for any info/advice.

Zero issues. Those will be sunk in pretty far... You could be lowered 3" with those specs.

markp6mttl

It depends, mainly on tire brand. You'll need to roll the rear fender for sure. I just did this same setup on my TL. Same size wheel. Had 235/40's, went to 265/35's. I'm lowered on Tein Street Flex coils (13" hub to fender gap), and it barely clears these, not sure if it would clear on stock suspension. I don't think this setup will work with any other wheel than a 18x9.5 +40. I think if it were a +38 it would rub the front fender, and a +45 probably wouldn't clear the control arm in front or the coilover on the rear. A +42 might, but it would be close.

Thanks for the response man! The tires I bought were 255/40 because I wanted to be safe, but I can still send them back if I change my mind because they haven't been mounted. So, with stock suspension you think I'd need to roll the rear? Is this because there is no negative camber to tuck the tire a bit? And if that's true, I would need to do something to the front as well, as the front pokes 5mm more than the rear stock. Your thoughts?

Will be using Dunlop Direzza's in 245/40/18.. Will be rolling fender in the back just in case (I do fender rolling)

Will this clear with the fender roll? Will I need to roll the front also?

I pulled a TSX front once but the guy was running 10" wide rims..

But I understand this setup would clear front and back.. Any feedback will be appreciated..

As long as you roll the rears you'll be fine.

I can't help with the Brembo clearance but you won't have any fender rubbing issues.

ScoobyTL

I was thinking that the Brembo clearance should be fine since the EVO has Brembos too? But if anyone knows for sure if they clear or not then that would be very helpful! I am trying to pickup a set across the country!

Thanks for the response, I rolled the rear last weekend.. If needed will roll the front also and roll the rear a bit more.. Glad I didnt sell the fender roller yet..

Ordered rims and tires today..

Cleared with no issues.. Running 245's but it should clear 255's also and might clear 265's.. Thanks for the responses..

Those rear specs are really aggressive. You'll need to roll your rear fenders and stretch tires. 225/40 up front and 235/40 rear.

I'm ok with a little stretch. What about camber ? I don't want to be running a bunch of negative camber. A few degrees I'm ok with.
