17x8.5 +30 on stock height
Hello all. I've been searching on the interwebs for a few months now trying to find the right rims for my TL with the brembos. I found some SSR 17x8.5 rims that have a +30 offset, and I really like how they look. My question is: how much poke would there be on the front with this setup on stock suspension? I know the rear will be pretty much flush. I'm planning on running stock tires, if that helps.

From the research I've done, stock rims with a 15mm spacer are flush in the front. It's entirely possible my research is wrong, but The rims I'm looking at stick out 20mm more than stock, which is why I'm concerned about poke.

Thank you all so much for your help! From what you guys have said It looks like the SSR rims will give me the flush look I'm going for. I'm planning on running stock tires, and the rims are 1/2in. wider, so everything will hopefully be perfectly flush!

You should really consider 18s though.

I agree that 18's and 19's look a whole lot better. The issue is I'm on a really tight budget, so I was planning on using my stock tires since they're pretty much brand new. If I got bigger rims and tires I'd be spending at least $1,000

The reason I was looking for a second set of rims is I'm going to be getting winter tires soon, since a buddy of mine (who has a TL) said my car will be terrible in the snow. So I'm already spending a chunk of change on the tires, and I wanted to have the new rims before winter. I don't know if I have the patience to save for 18's/19's lol

This is correct, the contact patch is longer front-to-back, which produces more forward-motion grip. A 235 will be nearly identical on a TL in most instances, but if heavy snow is a concern, the skinnier the tire, the better the grip, just look at Winter Rally tires for proof.
