What do you guys run on for a 18x8.5 wheel?

I was just curious what you other TL owners out there run on for a 18x8.5 wheel?

Im looking to get some, probably te37s.

Thanks!

I am not sure exactly what you are asking but I have Goodyear Eagle F1s GS-D3s in a 245/40 18. Hope that is what you're looking for, they are great tires and give some scuff protection to the rim. You can run up to a 255/40 18, but there is quite a price difference between those 2 sizes. Or maybe you're asking what kind of rims...I have the gunmetal 04 A-spec wheels with a WDP TL likes yours, looks awesome. Go dark with the rim color.

Sorry for the confusion, but yeah, i was asking about the offset, of what peopl run on 18x8.5's..

So the 245/40 should be okay?

I just want to make sure that i dont have any rubbing issues?

im thinking of going gunmetal.

Go with 255 40 18. I run them on my A-sec setup and they are a perfect match for an 8.5

I have the A-spec kit. No rubbing what so ever, even with 500 lbs in the truck.

I am lowered about 1.5 inches and there is no rubbing. I know I am not either of the above mentioned guys but I thought I knew where you were going with that.
