Please help with winter tire/wheel setup
Guys, I have an opportunity to pick up a cheap set of 17" wheels/tires for the winter. I have a Type S with Brembo brakes so would appreciate your help.

The wheels are 5 lug pattern, a 120mm bolt pattern, and a 45mm offset.

Sorry I'm oblivious when it comes to wheels.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Jesstzn. So the 5x114.3 is the minimum pattern to fix?

Plus you have to clear the brembos. Look into used 04-06 TL wheels. Those for sure clear brembos. Not sure about 07-08.

The 6-Speed Manual version of the 04-06 TL came standard with the same brembos that came on the 07-08 TL-S.
