I'm hoping to purchase 20"x7.5 Eurmax 056 with a 30 offset with 225 tires for my 04 TL (AT).. I have NO knowledge of wheels and customizing cars. I need some help please. My goal is to purchase 20" chromies that i can take out the box and put right on my car and be set to go. Will the Euromax wheels grant me that or am I screwed? If so what offset, etc. for 20" do i need?? Your help is MUCH APPRECIATED!!

Well, I had an 18x8" +30mm offset with 245 tires on the TL for a short time, and it was perfectly flush with the fender... So a x7.5" with +30mm should be slightly tucked.

Why the hell do you want to run 225 tires tho? You should at least get an 8" wide wheel, and get a 245/30-20. That is only 1.8% bigger than stock... Should work fine, as the 245/35-19 I'm running now are 1.7% bigger than stock...

That set up will move the wheel out 9mm (@3/8") farther than stock and I can't see where that would be a problem, but are you dropped? But a 7.5" wheel and 225 tires????

225 is just what the website said the package comes with.. You guys say to go with a 245? And I had the ofset wrong. Its a 40 offset.. So am I still good to go?

Only problem is that 245 is too wide for a 7.5" wheel...

Well is there 235s? If so, would they work?? What's wrong with the 225s? Your help is again aprreciated..

According to Tire Rack, using the Continental DWS Tires as examples, 225 is the widest tire that is recommended for a 7.5" wheel.

Nothing wrong with a 225, just that it's a pretty narrow tire for the TL. You're going to look like you're driving on 4 temporary spares

^ I agree those wheels and tire width will look small and give it a wierd look from behind.. Im riding 20x8.5 with a 245 tire and even those look a little small.

avs007

Yup... It's especially more pronounced with bigger diameter wheels... 225 on a 16" wheel looks good.... 225 on a 20" wheel will look like a bicycle wheel

Thank you so much for your help!! I've decided to scrap the Euromaxes and go with the Elements Lithiums that have a 8.5 width. Once again, thanks for your help!!!!!
