Need ur opinion???

Ok fellas and gals, my girl has her heart set on the ace strada whhels. They are very nice. I called discount tire and spoke to one of the reps. He told me that they dicontinued them in the 19x8.5. so my dilemma is what do you guys think if she gets 19x9.5 all around. Her car 05 TL is dropped on Tein S Techs..Also the 9.5 have a offset of 40. Is it doable???

you got any pics of the front close up?

she also likes the TSW Willow. Same goes for them, they dont have the 19x9 that they come in for the fronts. So i would have to get the 9.5 +40 offset all around. But once again, i dont know if they will clear the brembos

Coilovers are A TRILLION times better than Springs only

I also wanted the ACE Strada

Or the disconntinued AXIS HIRO in Hyper Silver

A better size In my opinion is

245/35/19" tires on 8.5" wheels with a +35 offset.


Like the STILL available AXIS SHINE
