Negative Offset on 3G TL

Recently I got my eyes on a set of wheels that with negative offset (18x9 -1 (high disc) 18x10+2). I would like to know how it is going to look and is there any modifications i need to do in order to fit the wheels in.

Lol....u will need lots of mods to fit that...rolling, pulling,shaving of fenders... and running camber with stretched tires...I'm assuming you would be lowering it...

It's doable but like Italiano said, it's not going to be an easy task.

I wouldn't do this at all unless you plan on making your TL a wide body. Those offsets are crazy low and your tires would basically be sideways trying to do this, which is not a very attractive look.

adrian's TL is wide body. negative offsets are doable but you will have to pay the price. any of the local guys (cltotheTL/Italiano) can tell you that my fenders are fucked up right now. they will be getting fixed soon but it does take a good amount modification/money to fit a wheel with an aggressive offset. i have 19x9 +1 front and 19x10 -1 rears right now with alot of camber and im running 225 tires all around. with an 18 it will be a little easier but still a tough task to do correctly.

And you can do what you are trying to accomplish if you plan on doing all the necessary steps to do it, which will take a lot of time and money. You can't just slap wheels with those specs on a stock TL and think they will fit or even look good.
