RON help me!!

I did do some searches but my eyes eventually started to hurt. I have Ron's Inspyer rims, the 19's 8.5 wide i think. I currently have 245/35 all round. I want to know if i can go wider, say 265 in the rear with RJ's rims. RON can i go wider without rubbing????

Stock TL wheel dimensions:
17x8 45mm offset, 64.1 centerbore, 5x114.3 bore diameter.

For a good fit, stay between the offsets of 35 and 45. The lower the number the more "pushed out" the wheel is, giving it a wider stance. However, the lower the number, the greater the chance of rubbing. Also certain offsets (in the 35-45 range) will not fit with the Brembo brakes of the MT. That needs to be kept in mind also.

People have wheels between 7.5 and 9.5. I wouldn't go lower than 8 (since stock width is 8, but I wouldn't go larger than 9. To me 8.5 width is more than enough. 9" and greater might be overkill (and might rub if you drop it).

You should have a centerbore larger than 64.1 (most aftermarket wheels come with a large centerbore), and they provide you with hub-centric rings to make them fit the TL. The only aftermarket wheels (other than the uber-expensive custom ones) that have the perfect centerbore are RonJon wheels (see www.ronjonwheels.com).

You pretty much need the bore diameter to be 5x114.3 (unless you want to drill holes in your wheels to get them to fit). At the end of the day, of the wheels you selected, I think the Zenettis would fit best. However, I would ensure fitment with the dealer, and perhaps with Zenetti themselves.

If you need more info, run a search on offsets, and other key words.

Never had anybopdy go that wide, remember 235 is suggested, 245 is a bit larger and 255 is pushing it. I can't imagine 265, maybe if it was a 30 series, not a 35 series. even then, you would have to test fit one at least.

Sorry to hijack

Anybody have an answer regarding replacing my 03 TL's 16inch wheels with 17 inch wheels? Was wondering if the 05 or 06 TL wheels would work? I also have a set for sale of Pearl White 15 inch Rims that I think came off a 96 CL?
