Just bought 20x8.5 AUTO COUTURE LAVITE WHEELS

I am running 235/45/20's on my new wheels on my 2007 TL Type S 6SP

I would like to find out from any of you would 245/30/20's fit better or could I fit 255/30/20's ? also what would be better all season or winter tires? also to let all of you know the car will be lowered this week 1.5 inches all around so would this make any diffrents in what size tire I could run on the car?

Thanks for all or any of your help

what's the offset on those???? that will give us a better idea of what tires you need...

I would assume that you are running 235/35/20... and not 235/45/20...

I was on 245/30 with 1.4 H&R springs with no problems. Are you going to use this tires only for winter and then go back to the tires you have now?

i don't know yet if I want to run winter tires or just find a real good all weather tire package.

But right now I am pissed because about 1hr ago so dum ass backed into me while I was in the movie theater and it was a hit and run basterd. I just thank God that my Ronjon body kit was not put on yet but now with the back hafe of my rear end looks like @#@#$@ I could get the boady kit put on hey anyone here running HKS exhaust? I am thinking about buying a set this weekend to add to my car. anyone have a black on black type-s with 35% tint I need to find out how dark this would be before I get mine redone. for the donut police give me a ticket tonight for being to dark I had 5% and the front doors was 20% so I need to see what would 35% looks like or would I need to go to 50%.

I need to buy a cam you I could upload some of my photos for you guys. maybe I need to do this first then buy the tint and the exhaust latter what do all of you think?

So how slammed did you get it down to ? I was think maybe going down another .5 inch to make it a full 2 inches lowered but if I do this I was told I would have to go with 19's or maybe yet 18's and i think those sizes would suck on a hot looking car like the ones we all drive.


The more I read these trends on here the most I wish I did not spend 3800.00 dollars for just my wheels and another 2200 for the dang tires. I looked at some ronjon wheels someone had posted on here and dam those babies looked hot. and I think they was alot chipper than what I have in mine.

but I think I would be the only 07 Type-s with the one I got on here
