it seems as if 18x9.5 +22 are the ideal specs for the TL. I need to step my game up, I've been looking at new wheels but I hate running reps and legit wheels are fucking crazy pricey lol

everything looks awesome man

Yeah they're ideal specs, with 225/40 it won't rub much. I had to camber in a bit because of slightly lower offset. I have no issues with any cast wheels I have ran.

Picture of my car and I. Got a banner done couple days ago to rep the group my friends and I started. Quad tips going on today! And wheels will be painted this week too. I decided to do the gloss graphite that I did on my stock wheels about a year ago.

Just finished repainting my wheels. It's not too much of a difference, just a bit lighter and glossy compared to matte before.

I got my quads on a few days ago too but never posted it. I deleted the rear mufflers out of impulse so currently it's RV6 V3 J pipe and then 2.5 inch straight pipe. I am adding a resonator to it next Friday because the drone is crazy.

I've got to say this is one of the cleaner builds I've seen - and an inspiration! I don't particularly care to have any stickers on my car, but lmk if you have a TL meet up one of these days as I'm roughly in the same area.

Thank you! I am out of the TL scene here in the Bay though. My buddy and I started a chapter and the drama that eventually came about with new members made me throw in the towel. My friend is hosting a 9th gen Accord meet in May for all of Norcal. I will send you details or if you want, add me on Facebook (Numair Hirani) and I will invite you to the event.

Thank you!! I started a second account for my car so I can have sort of a build thread going on there too without spamming my personal account.

Couple more updates. Removed rear window visor and installed side splitters. Also, out of all the things I could have failed smog for, I failed because my battery was pulled and I didn't drive enough for a couple systems to function again.

Removed HIC visor again.
Side splitters

Thank you! I had the option to mount them farther out but I think even this is pushing it a little. I wouldn't go anymore aggressive than this

They were 18x8.5 +15 with a 215/40 bud. They were +35 and I used a 20mm spacer to clear my brakes.
