Please help, will these wheels fit?
I have found a pair of xxr 527's for a decent price and am wondering if they will fit my 08tl-s.... Will they clear the brembos?
18x8.75 5x100/114.3 +35
I'm looking for a non aggressive look and will want advise on spring setup with factory shocks.
Thanks

Searched "brembo" in that thread and after a few posts, yes, +35 will clear the Brembos.

I have had 2 sets of 19"x8.5" wheels with a +35 & +36 offset. They both fit over my Brembo's
You should also get a correct answer from the place selling you the wheels. If they dont know, IMO I wouldnt buy them there. I have been given WRONG information from some Wheels places online. Then when I talk to a wheel dealer who KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT tells me that places like WHEELSNEXT dont know what they are talking about sometimes. I have had personal experience with this problem.

A-Spec suspension is a great start, lowers it 0.75" I think...could be wrong. Tein is another good choice.
Keep in mind lowering the car will add more stress on the shocks so you'll have to replace those faster or just get a set of lowering shocks. (If you go the A-Spec route you should be okay though)
