Tire Sizes
I've been looking on here for a while to see what looks good on these cars. I've come here from the world of deep staggered wheels having owned several BMW's recently. I know the TL is fwd but I like the look of deep wheels and will stay with that. I liked the way one members car looks in particular but he stated that he has 275/30/19's on the rear. Is this acheivable without modifying the car? Here is the one i'm speaking of. I really like this look but don't want to cut my car up as it's still under waranty.

i have the same question but ...
I have 225/30 20 X 8.5 and they store i bought them from said that if i went with a wider tire or taller tire 235/245 35/40 it would rub.
as is stands my wheel sticks out further than my tire and im concerned for the future of my wheels. I want to sell my brand new tires if i can get a wider tire or taller tire on my wheels.
dont get me wrong the rubber band look is hot but and the ride is nice ...

If you are a fan of "all show and no go" it looks like it will work.
If you want the best tire size for the TL without putting a bigger tire on the front, where they should be I suggest using 255/40/18 on all four corners.

I'm not too concerned with spirited driving anymore or I would have stayed with my previous vehicles. I traded in a 03 M5 for this TL. I just still want the car to look hot. Not trying to insult the car, obviously I like it or I wouldn't have bought it but I still want a certain look without the reliability issues and maintenance cost's from BMW.
