Nope. Many have thought the same, none have succeeded.

Even if you could, to keep the aspect ratio correct, you'd be running on rubber bands. Check out the pics of people with 19s and see how little rubber there is between the rim and the road.

I have 18x8 +50, see sig. I can't remember what the offset should be on 19s, search the gallery for Nate's ride. He has 19s. So does StreetEffectz.

Just remember a stock tl-s has a 55 offset, so the closer you can get to that number the better...IMO anything over 47 should be fine..Some people have gone even lower without a problem, but that's pushing it.

theoretically, i think it will fit since the overall diameter on the stock tls wheels are close to 20 inches (i would imagine since i have not calculated it). the actual problem is probably finding a 20 inch rim with a narrower width and higher offset so it can fit our fwd cars. most japanese wheel makers don't go past 19 inches (this is the type of wheel i like to put on the tl's), and the wheels that do are mostly european in origin or made for suv's. i hang around honda boards too and i think one guy slapped 20s on his 98+ accord sedan...if he can, then why can't you? however, those wheels were the full-faced, chromed type of rim which i do not like too much. and of course, your speedo will be inaccurate and the tires will be ultra low profile.

 

There is a '00 TL here that has 20" mounted. They needed to roll the fenders though. Not too nice IMHO.
