i am thinking on buying these wheels .....

the fronts are 19x8.5

the rears are 19x9.5 .....

WILL THESE RIMS FIT WITHOUT RUBBING ?? AND WHAT KINDA TIRE DO YOU SUGGEST TO LESSEN THE GAP B/C I AM NOT LOWERING MY CAR ??

what are the offsets? That's the most important factor as to whether or not it will rub.

the lug patterns and the offset is the same as the tl ............ but i don't think the rear can handle a 9.5" tire

With that being the case, can't you just get 8.5" all around? I happen to be running 8.5/9.5" on my other car. The optimum tire width of a 9.5" rim, is a 275 tire. Looking at my 275/40-18 rim/tire setup, I think there is no way in hell that would fit on my wife's TL. (Equivalent would be 275/35-19)

For the 8.5", I'm running a 245/40-18 tire on it (245/35-19), and it looks perfect. It's not "stretched", so hopefully the rims are at least a little bit better protected... I can't remember what the stock size is on the TL. If you want to fill wheel gap, you could probably go with a 245/45-18. (245/40-19)
