Ok so im new here and dont know all the ins and outs of the TL yet. I should be getting a 05 TL with in the next few weeks. Ok so my question is will 17x9 45mm wheel fit the TL. The car will be lowered on tein stech springs. Also what are the stock size tires on the 17's ?

 

Yes it will fit.

235/45/17 is stock tire size.

 

Thanks I think im going to try to stretch the stock tires. Im running a 245/45/18 on a 9.5 wide rim now so i would think they would work.

 

Yeah, should be fine. Good luck and post pics

 

if your gonna do 245 on 9.5 is not really a stretch, i run 235 on a 10inch wide. if u plan to stretch your tires make sure u get way more aggressive than +45. stretched tires on weak fitment looks unless u like that sunken ship look

 

With a 9 wide and 45mm offset where will the wheel sit?

 

Try using this tool...it helped me out bigtime when I was searching out my wheel/tire combo

pretty sunk... i run 9inch with a +28 in the front, but i have stretched tires. i say 9" wide with a +34ish should be good with a moderate drop.

 

What do you think about a 18x9.5 45mm offset? I found a set of wheels for a great price with those specs i almost can pass it up. I was thinking i could kick the wheels out a little with a spacer if needs be. I am also buying Tein S-tech, just to give you an idea of what the setup will be like.

 

^ you could always drop in a spacer (10mm spacer) 18x9.5 +35 stretched

 

what about a 17x9 27mm offset with a 235/45/17, do you think that would work with the tein drop
