Hey i'm picking up a set of TSW Estorils. Putting them on my 04 AM auto TL (no brembo's yet) They wheels are 18 inches big and 9.5 inches wide (all 4 are) 35mm off set 5X112 bolt pattern.I will be running 255-40-18 Michelin Pilot Sport in the rear. My questions are will the rear tires fit? what size should tires should i run in the front? How is the ride going to be? i plan on droping my car with tien springs, any issues there?

The TL is 5 x 114, and with a 9.5" wide wheel and 35 offset it will move the wheel/tire out 29MM about 1 3/16". Good luck.

So i take it they will not fit at all?

Not if they are 112. There are adapters available, but the wheels in question will already be moved out way too far.

Take a piece of cardboard and make a strip 1 3/16" in width about 3" long, then place that against the tire and wheel on your car, if stock, and the outer edge of the cardboard will be where the new assembly resides. You'd actually would need to make it wider as the 255 tires will be wider than the OE, but you'll get the idea.

Once again i came across some wheels for a killer deal and they wont fit. I was able to talk the guy down TO 500 bucks for 4 brand new wheels in the box and those tires are also brand new with no miles on them.I just had to buy front tires. FML

Buy them and resell for a profit.

Um, 19x9.5 +35 will fit fine. It will just take some adjustment.

Go 235/35 all around and you should be in the clear.

Make sure you get 5x114.3 though.

As that tire/wheel combo will be moved out 29mm or @ 1.15", how will it still fit fine, even with 235 tires? On my TL, that would mean the tire wheel is outside the body. Maybe you consider the poked look fine. Better check it out.
