problems that will require you to pull rear fenders and stretch the f*ck of your tires. Did you do any research at all on fitment on these cars, or is this the first? Look around pic thread and see what other people are running and how it looks.

most people stick to 30s and 40s when it comes to offset and i want a good size lip, i got the rims after knocking off $1k of the price and free shipping so i couldnt say no considering those are the ones i wanted.. did i do my research? not really i knew my oem offset is 45 but i knew that people have put rims as wide as 11 & 12s so i wasnt to worried about it... i just want to know what sort of work to look towards, you say pulling my fenders and stretching the tires, anything else? thanks

you can make it fit if you run stretched tires and maybe raise the car a tad bit. really up to your preference but def need a roll and pull on the fenders.

I can only provide input for the fronts since I have the same wheel width and have had the chance to research it. The wheel offset is really aggressive and will require fender roll/pull, negative camber, and stretched tires, with the current stance on your TL.

In regards to the rear, I'm not sure since I haven't researched a fitment that aggressive. Good luck and don't forget to share some pics once you have them mounted. Thanks.

Forgot to mention, you will definitely need a front and rear camber kit.

just pull the fenders, stretch the tires with a 235 and go about -3 or -4 camber with a camber kit and you will be fine in the rear. the front will need a good pull and stretch as well. i have a 19x9 +21 up front with a minor 235 stretch and when i was static i only had rubbing on big bumps and dips.

i have almost identical fronts 18x9.5 +12 and im lowered modest up front, still rub on dips with rolled fenders. in the rear im running the same and lower and rub on dips with rolled/pulled fenders. im running 225-40 which is a good stretch for that size. you're gonna need to do some work
