Wheel selection for '08 TL

What's up everyone. I have a 2008 Acura TL Base, Polished Silver Metallic color. I am looking to put some wheels on my car and was hoping I could get some advice and input on what size, etc... I was thinking something along the lines of this:

Thanks all

You're on the right track by going with 19's as they seem to be the common size to go with. A typical width is 8.5 but if you want a more aggressive setup you can run a 9.5. Also depending on how aggressive you want the car to look you have to think about what offset you want to go with. The lower the offset, the further the rim will sit out towards the fender. Here is a good place to start to look for rims that you may like on our cars https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/new-wheel-tire-specs-thread-pics-577276/ or go through some of the progress threads in the photogallery section.

KJ, those are nice looking wheels. You might check on RonJon's too. The entire line is good looking.

Ive been riding on 17x9s and i have another staggered set with 9.5s in the rear but my car rubs with the 9.5s.. plus i have stretched tires on the 17x9s' and bwr suspension so that helps too i dont know if theyd rub with normal size tires.. just keep that in mind, i just wouldnt go smaller than a 8.5
