Wider Tires on TLX

Hello, after we had a tree fall on our garage last year, my pristine 2012 Tl Sh-awd BWP 6mt was sadly totalled, I bought a 2015 TLX sh-awd elite last year, really appreciating the better gas mileage and quieter ride. Missing the 6mt! May need to do a rear sway bar and J-pipe to get this car where I want. Anyways, I've got a set of TSW Bathurst rims sitting in the garage, just curious if they'll fit the car and not rub or anything? The rims are 19x9 with a +30 offset. I have 255/40R19 tires as well on them. Right now I'm on winter tires, (northern Ontario, pretty much a requirement). The stock goodyears are in a word, crap. Once spring rolls around, I'd like to put these rims on the car. Summary, 2015 tlx awd, 19x9 +30 with 255/40R19, square setup, will it work? Any thoughts and opinions appreciated!

Thanks, Dan

Are the wheels off your 2012 TL? They may not fit as TLX has 5x114.3mm bolt pattern, where the 4G TL 2009-2014 has 5x120mm.

The wheels are off my 1g RDX, which has the same bolt pattern as the TLX I believe, pattern is 5x114.3. Should have clarified that. More so worried about clearance and if it'll rub anywhere. Don't plan on lowering the car much or at all due to winter weather. Thanks

Should be fine, the factory 19" tires are 245/40R19. I don't imagine 255 would be a problem.

Awesome thanks, hoping they fit with no issues! Was worried that the higher offset and wider rims and tires may rub on the fender possibly. Good to know that it should be fine.
