whats up AZ..
newbie needs some lil advise here..

im planning on doing a staggered look on my 05 tl AT..
i was going to tun 18x7.5 front and 18x9.5 rear

the tl is on stock ride height as of now

my question is
would the 18x9.5 rub,need spacers,or would i get any problems for running this set up with stock ride height??
or should i just go with 18x8.5 for the rear??


thanks in advance guys!

 

run 18x8.5 upfront instead of 18x7.5 and in the rears 18x9.5 will work. if you have no plans on lowering your TL then you shouldn't have any issues with rubbing. however, i'd recommend lowering if your going to go with 18in wheels. the stock height and 18in wheels won't look good as far as appearance.

if it makes you feel any better there are a lot of members running far aggressive staggered fitment setups lowered. currently i'm running 19x10.5 with 275/30R19 tires in
the rear lowered.

i'd skip on the 18x7.5 upfront. too narrow. also, 18s... is there an option to go with 19s?

 

I have to agree. If there isnt an issue with going 19s then go for it. Staggered 18s with your offsets will be kinda small. I myself have 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear and I couldve gone 19x9 front im sure but with negative camber. Its all up to you with what look your going for but Id suggest what DREW says

 

ok i was able to get more info on the wheels

the wheels that im getting they dont have 19 inch
just 18.

so they have 18x8.5 front
then 18x9.5 rear
the only thing is they only have 32 offset for the wheels

are there going to be any problems if i run this set up with the car not dropped??

 

no no problems. that will look pretty flush with the fenders.

 

thanks man

anybody else that could confirm this??
I just wanna make sure before I order the wheels!

 

You will be fine.

 

i have 19x9.5 wheels in the rear with a +28 offset and i had to run a stretch tire and roll my fenders...
