Given an 05 TL (AT) stock suspension, I've been told that 275/30/20 (45+ offset) will fit the rears and 245/35/20 (20+ offset) will fit the fronts.

Can any EXPERTS (those who done it) comment on this?

 

That is the same exact set up that i have, same specifications you just cant lower the car any less than 1", and you have to roll your fenders so it wont cut the tire...

 

what about 18x9.5 with a +20 offset all around?

 

how are you going to go from wanting a 20" staggerd set up to a 18" flush set up.. trust me u wont de diapointed with the staggered...

 

I wasn't able to get the final quote on the 20 set low enough for me to jump on!

After thinking about it, the 18x9.5 wont work especially in the front.

The issues keeping me from jumping on the 20xstaggered setup are:
- lower tire-life expectancy since most tires are directional and hence can't rotate.
- Need to roll rear fenders to fit the 275x20 comfortably
- More interested in getting a better sports ride than looks (wanting to lower w/ tein ss)
- May not help if I wanted to sell the car a year from now.
- Overall added cost (small factor thou)

 

How did you come to this conclusion. Chagning wheels has nothing to do with value of the car...
