what size are those wheels? looks to be 21+
and what size tires?
also you need a drop, lip kit. maybe a h&r spring or tein set up..
but yea.. your car is lifted off the ground more than stock lol

Thanks !! There isnt alot done to it right now but I think it still looks pretty clean. Headlight and tail lights tinted with Lamin-x. Tinted Tag cover, windows tinted with 5% lumar all around and now new wheels by Lexani
They are 22x9 Lexani LSS-8. I always have so many problems when i drop it like I did with my 06 Anthracite TL..Actually my car is less than a millimeter higher than stock. .7mm I think to be exact. I ran a 22" Rim with a 245/30/22 Tire

your literally a whole inch more than your stock sh-awd 18's.
since 25.4mm = 1 inch.. i believe your about 12.5mm taller than stock. about half an inch.
btw, doesn't your car feel wobbly with it being so high up off the ground?

I like the wheels, but they look a little too large for the TL.

Hey Guys, thanks for all the comments. I know 22's arent for everybody. I just didnt want to do 20's and lower it drastically like my last one. I had a 06 Anthracite TL and lowered it 2.5 - 3" inches on Tien SS with 19" wheels. I have never had so many problems in my life. Busted struts, bent wheels from having no suspension give ect ect...I figure I will put a lip kit all around and maybe bring it down only 1.5 -2 inches

Minority or not, its all about what YOU like...I know alot of the guys like the all red tail lights which also looks good. I just personally like the blacked out lights with offseting hints of silver/chrome...

Big pimping. everybody got different taste. I too will not lower my TL due to past history with lowered car. Post pictures once you get the underbody kit put on.

I like the wheels, but 22's seem much too big for the car. I think 20's would look much better. But then, that's just my opinon.
