Hi all. I'm kind of new here. I just ordered my TL-S and would like to change the wheels. I think I figured out all the offset and size issues. I have noticed that some wheel sites offer multiple bolt patterns. What does the TL-S use for a bolt pattern - how many lugs and the spacing?

Thanks for the help.

 

What wheels are you deciding between?
The TL is 5X114. Offset needs to be +45 or greater. The stock wheels on the TLS are 17X6.5", with a +50 (I think) offset. The wider the wheel, the higher the offset you need. Any lower than +45 and you may have a lil' rubbin'.
Good luck. Check out the wheels section on this site, or www.autocarparts.com

 

Currently I am looking at the Katana F-15, the ADR Sokudo, the Enkei RPM2, and the AT Italia Flash Sport. I haven't decided on 17 or 18's yet.

 

The previous picture was the Katana. This picture is the AT Italia.

 

This is the Enkei RPM2.

 

And this is the ADR Sokudo10.

 

Have you checked available offsets?
What about the Enkei RPOM?

 

Welcome to the forum...the AT Italia is the nicest wheel of those IMO and is high quality...I'd go with 18" or 19" x 7.5" if they have like a +48 or higher offset...I have 18" x 7.5" with a +45 offset and I had to do some minor trimming to avoid rubbing...BTW the stock offset of our wheels is +55, you want to get as close to that as possible to avoid rubbing issues.

 

all those wheels suck, buy some xpensive shiat baller...im telling you, you will be happy now but not later...spend money...Shyne

 

How would you know shyne you dont own ANY wheels? J/k But I agree with you, those wheel suck, go 19 or go home. Rory

 

Thanks for the info and opinions, though I am still not sure what the offset really is. In other posts I have seen it stated that the offset was 48. Here I am seeing 50 and 55. So which is it?

 

The offset of the TL stock wheel is +55...check if u want, but that is correct...Ask Value if you don't believe me.

 

technically, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3mm.

 

i'm pretty sure when lowering and changing rims on a car involves camber adjustments.

I haven't seen any available for the TL, whats up with that?
