Im getting XXR 550 17x8.25 with +19mm offset. Will this stick out too far? Should i get the +36mm offset instead?

Should I get a big mac? or should I stay with the safe option of salad?

no one can tell you what you should and shouldnt do.

everything depends on your goals and what you want to do with the car.

if you head to 1010TIRES.COM - Wheel Offset Calculator
and input stock specs of 8 inch width and +45 offset then apply your new wheel specs of 8.25 and +19 offset, it will tell you how far the new wheels will extend.
then, you can take a ruler or some measuring tape to see how far the new wheels will stick out.

Then use this newly found information to decide if YOU want to go with the more aggressive offset or stick with the safe option

Lmao didnt think of it like that!

or you could browse the XXR thread to see if any one has the same exact specs that you want and see if it's something you would like.

another option would be to go to an actual wheel store to "test fit" some wheels in the exact specs you want.

Thanks man! New to AZ so not exactly sure how it all works yet.

wheels are not something that you rush into.
it takes time and lots of studying.

"most" people that rush out and buy wheels regret their first big wheel purchase BECAUSE of wrong specs.

make sure that you know how the wheels will look before you pull the trigger.
if you are unsure, more studying is needed.

I had watched my friends go through SEVERAL different wheels with different specs. I saw the mistakes they were making and made sure I didnt make the same.
it took me 5 years to fully understand how offset and widths work.

Dont rush.

17x8.25? is this even going on a TL?

Nick11748

Yes sir, why do you say that?

Because stock set is 17x8 +45.

Are you getting the wheels used!? If so, I recommend you to wait and learn about widths and offsets before you rush into a purchase and make a mistake

Nick11748

No i was planning on getting them new. Why, what dimensions would you recommend?

Did you even look at the calculator I linked above!?!

Nick11748

Yes sir! Went out and measured and i think im gonna go with the +35 offset instead. +19 would stick out 1.16 inches, imo it would look goofy.
