First, let me make this clear, the tires are not the proper size for the TL, so the wheels look tiny on the car!

Specs: 19" x 8.5" BBS RG-R with offset of 32mm.
Tires are 235/35/19 again, not the correct size which should be 245/40/19. Big difference.

Now, the reason I put the wheels on was to see if it would clear the brakes, and not stick out beyond the fenders before I went ahead and ordered tires. Which they don't, so now it's time for some tires.



Looks like with a drop, fender rolling will be required with this offset.

how the front wheel lines up

You can't go wrong with BBS!! Those look great. Are you gonna go with all seasons or summer tires?

mt3c

most likely summers.

I want to get the BBS RXII.. but i can only find 21x11 +55.. 11" is TOO wide for the 4th gen

Was thinking about these too. Can you take some pics during the daytime for me please?

(preferably on a cloudy day)

Unfortunately, even 245/40/19 are expensive tires

Dunlop Sport Maxx are great, and affordable summer tires... should be around $250 a pop..... Pretty decent tread-wear (from personal experience)

looking forward to see it!

hopefully this weekend. waiting for the tpms to come in before i get the tires mounted.

sooo...pictures?

Update. Sorry, been busy with work.

ok, no pictures. ran into a problem

Bought tires, new tpms sensors, and wheels to tire mounters. Had old tires dismounted and had trouble getting the new sensors on.

Basically, the hole for the valve stem is just large enough for the traditional Schroeder valve, but not the valve that Honda uses for TPMS. The BBS comes with nice metal valve stems that are the diameter of a Schroeder valve throughout.

so options are:

run without tpms (live w tire light, or defeat it somehow)
turn tpms valve stem down (not sure if this is possible)
find new valve for tpms (searching this option now, doesn't look too good)

I didn't have the tires mounted for this reason, I guess i should just to get the pics up for some eye candy.

Not sure if you want to go this route but I saw a 3pc wheel with a hidden valve stem that the TPMS valve wouldn't fit so they just strap the sensor on the inside of the wheel.
