hi, im planning to get the LE37t black w/ polished lip.the guy tolds me that 18" is better than the 19"s.they quote me $2969 with nitto tires.size is 18x8.5 and 235/40/18 is that a good price?planning to get it next wik.

ACCURATEin

Ive been waiting for someone to get these rims. Are you getting them for appearance or for utility? 19's will be optimal for appearance on this car, and 18s will be better for tracking or autocross.

If you ask me i'll tell you to go with 19s.

arrior

for both though,do i need to put something if i get the 19"s?and is it ok to put eibach springs?

chill_dog

Yes, you can lower your car with 19's (or 18's).

is it ok with the eibach springs?im just wondering whats the offset for?im new in putting rims.thanks

chill_dog

Eibach springs will be fine. I'm not sure what offset you should get (or what options you have), but as long as the offset is within the TL's tolerances, you should be ok. There is a thread about 10 +/- threads down from the top called "Offset Explained" that will explain offset.

Here's the rim we're dealing with...




19's will be optimal in my opinion.

arrior

yup thats it.... aint it a beauty?

ACCURATEin

It is indeed!

I've seen these on an E46 M3 but never on a 3rd gen TL. I think someone has them on a 2nd gen.

arrior

yuip me too...how much would you think this rims in japan?before when i checked its around $700-800 converted from their cuurency for the set.i dunno if im right?

TLxtc

go with 19's for the sporty image & 20's for a luxary one
