I am not familiar with the terminology used when talking about wheels. I dont know what offset does, etc. So what I am wondering is how I find the Rim dimensions acceptable for a 2002 TL-P with no mod needed (ie. rolling the fender).

For a 8 inch wide wheel, you want at least a +48 offset. FOr a 7.5 inch wheel, +45 or higher (50 is ideal).

Basically you have the diameter and the width. Then offset. Offset is the distance the mounting surface is from the center of the wheel. The higher the offset, the more it will tuck in, which is generally needed for FWD vehicles.

You also have bolt pattern, but that is obvious, 5 x 114.3 is the only size that works.

And center bore, which is how big that hole in the middle is. Ideally you want it the same as stock which is 64.1, but as long as it is larger the wheel will fit, you will just want to get rings that will make up the difference.

And you probably want to post this in the Tl section -> Second Gen -> Wheels and suspension section.
