What Is The Best Rim Size For '04 TL?

I have a 2004 TL which I'm about to go all out on.. A-Spec, Paint, Interior etc..
The question I have is what size rim and width?... I'm looking at some 19x8.5 but would love to go with 20x9.0.. I was looking at some TSW Nurburgring's.. I'm dropped with a BlackWorks full coilover kit, and want to sit nice WITH NO RUBBING!... Any ideas?....

99% of the time, 20's look like ass on a TL. 19's for looks, but some 18's look fine, you'll be less worried about pot holes and they're cheaper. Plus, 18" tires are quite a bit cheaper.

It's all up to car owner. Personal preference. You can find a lot of info on wheel and tire section.

Seems to me OP wants a show car than a go car; so get 19" the max. Anything after that is just hideous, but hey its your car and you can put whatever you want on it.
