Help please with 20's

Hey guys i just picked up my 06' TL Navigation.... I would like to purchase some 20's for it I've been reading through the old posts just wondering what is the best size to buy so i won't have to shave the fenders and have no rubbing i'm looking at getting

the VERDE "AVATAR"
Size: 20"x8.5"
FINISH: BLACK/CHROME
TIRE SIZE: 225/35/20 OR 245/35/20

Any help would be appreciated i don't know anything do i need spacers? and what would be a good size so i don't have to make any mods?? Thanks for your help.

20x8.5 +38


NOW WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT THOSE UGLY WHEELS...
if you want 20" wheels that won't hurt your pocket.. get Enkei LX-M

dont get 235 30 10 its 2 much of a low profile time.. i have 20s on my 08 tl with tire size 235 35 20 runs good and make sure you fill your tire up with 45 PSI so you rim wont bend.. just to let you know you going to lose speed on you car off the jump but on the roll its pretty much the same

245/35/20 shouldn't rub in the FRONT with a 1 degree camber...

245/35/20 shouldn't rub in the REAR with a 1.5 degree camber...

You either have to spend the money on rolling your rear fenders or spend the money on camber kits... You make the decision...

Good Luck

I have the same question too.

I have 2004 TL Automatic. Will a 20's fit without any adjustment?

If you get 35's, you should probably go with 235's.

But not those wheels. Do you have any other options?

So post some specs then... help this guy out and tell him your Wheel size (dia. and width) and offset... we already know you're running the narrow 235/35 tires...

Do you have a drop???

If you get a 20x8.5 go for an offset closer to 40-42mm. That should help.
