How do I fit these on my 2006 TL

Found these wheels and absolutely love them.

Amazon says they won't fit my car, I was wondering how i could make them fit?

you're going down in specs.

remember to always match factory specs or exceed them.

factory specs = 17x8 +45

the wheels you want are 17x7 +40

as you can see, you're going be 18mm CLOSER to the strut area and it will be sunken in by 8mm

The Konig Illusion are also are also offered in 18x8 35mm and 18x8 45mm if you're absolutely sold out on the looks. Obviously you'll need tires that fit.

Dont you mean 18mm further from struts? Either way, I think the 18s would look a lot better

^calculator says 18mm closer to struts

and the diameter is not a problem. 17s are fine.

"Inner clearance" is the part your missing I think. But ignore the calculator, its a skinnier wheel with a higher offset so more clearance. I dont see why these wouldn't fit, someone correct me if im wrong

So of these, which would be my best option. I'm sold on them, I just need something that will work with the car.

Alternatively you could use spacers too. 20mm for both back and front is acceptable. But honestly, with the 17x7 and the same tires you have on the stock wheels right now your tires might look a bit baloony.


Both the two set of 18x8 wheels would not cause rubbing issues with the proper tires.
