I have a stock 2009 FWD tech tl.

Wheels: ASA GT5 19" x 8" wheels, +45 offset, 5-114 bolt pattern, matte black finish, 1 PC. Cast & shot peened

Tires: Hankook V12 Evo Ventus K110, 235-35-19ZR

Is this a good combination for my tl? and is 825 a good price for em?
Rims has very minor scuffs on the back side of it, but thats it.

I kinda wanted a 20" look, but not sure how it would fit. Is it a quick and easy car shop fix to get spacers and whatnot done to fit 20" if i decide to?

The bolt pattern for the 4G TL is 5x120, not 5x114.3.

I dont know anything about tires/wheels, im a noob at this stuff. Can you explain to me please what it means if the bolt pattern is different? Can i not use this rim/tires at all?


And could you answer my questions about any necessary car changes if i want a 20" wheel? Could you suggest an affordable black wheel 20" combo with a specific tire?

you want atleast a 245 width tire.. your stock tire width is 245.. i would not consider a 235 tire.

bolt pattern is like socket wrenches.. if a bolt on your car requires a 10mm size socket.. it can only fit a 10mm size socket

bolt pattern is the same thing.. your car only takes 5x120 pattern wheels..



personally i would not even bother with those wheels, its junk to me.

where you located at?

Brandon runs the ASA GT5, but in 20x10.

Heres some more images I scrounged up, if you wanted a feel for the look. http://imgur.com/a/ySqj9

I like the look of the Asa Gt5. I actually got the desire for it after seeing that picture ^

What other recommendations would you have other than the asa gt 5 then?

potmilkz

by all means get the asa gt5.. just dont get the curbed up ones.

Advancebo

Yea, get a new set. Tirerack has them in stock.

Hi guys would the asa gt5 look good still without dropping the car?

Advancebo

At 20 inch, no. 19 inch without a drop would be okay, since there is a 19 inch OEM accessory wheel.

unless you want to look 4x4 i wouldn't recommend it. Look into coilovers and springs, in that order

Okay thanks for the info above guys. But I was wondering if this is true. The bigger your wheel, there will be less steering power? And your tires on your wheel will have less tire life?

lift3d_

your turning radius will decrease a bit depending on how big you go

your spedo may be off 0.5 kph or so, that's what i found with my 20" setup

depending on what your tire setup is, you may have less tire life - if you go stretched and/or staggered for example. if you do OEM specs on the tires, i doubt you would notice any difference in tire life.

hope this helps!
