Will this offset work ?

This is my first post here and I am new to the TL game. It feels damn good to be here ! I am looking at a set of axis klassics for my 2006 TL. The offset is a +15 and I wanted to know if any body knows how it will fit and look on my car.

Any help would be appreciated ! Thanks !

Im not one of the fitment gurus so im not sure about the fitment, but i agree with myron, you are going to have to go super low to make those look right imo.

17x8.5 +15 will poke 3mm in front, be sunk 5mm rear

How will they look? Absolutely rediculous unless you run a rediculous stretch and are ass scrapingly low.

Axis ia a good wheel but that style is more suited to a dropped older VW Golf etc.

+1 on this. These would look pretty nice on a MKII or MKIII. I think that even a MKIV could pull it off but Acura, I don't know about that.

go with 17x9.5+20 wheels and then slam the car and stretch the tire

Well I have always had a thing for the BBS style and of course I am a previous vw owner, mk2 and 3. I know that they are not common on a TL or many acuras, but I wanted to try something different. Thanks for the input !

you need to go larger for he BBS style on an acura it just will look awkward on a TL

there are plenty of BBS LM reps out there in 18" and 19" sizes. You don't have to go with 17" wheels. These would be more of an BBS RS though but I haven't seen any of those reps around
