I have an 05 acura tl and was thinking of putting 20 inch wheels on it. Wheel size is 20" width is 8.5 and wheel offset is high. what tire size would make my car look the beefiest
235/45R20 , 245/45/20 or is there another tire size which would work better
again I am new to this forum so correct me if im posting in the wrong section but I am about to order tires and do not want to make a mistake with the rims looking awkward on my car. Rubbing is not an issue as I will get my fenders rolled if needed!
20's are a bit too big IMO. I've seen it done before but with heavy modifications to the fenders and having bags. 19's or 18's look best IMHO. Honestly I prefer 18" with a 40 series tire.
Yeah, you would need to run a super thin sidewall. Like one of the guys above said, 30 series. 45 would be way too thick of a side wall. And I'm with the rest. 18s or 19s max.

What he said
I chose 18's cause the tire options are endless and usually at a better price than 19's..
Rubberband man, wild as the Taliban
9 in my right, 45 in my other hand
(Ay, Who I'm is?)
Call me "trouble" man
Always in trouble, man!

OP as you can see most people on here do not like 20s. It can be done on the TL and still look good. You put 20s on stock suspension and it will look like crap. The key is lowering it and choosing the right wheel and tire specs.
Mine for example:
Front: 20x8.5 +35 on 235/35
Rear: 20x9.5 +40 on 245/35
Suspension: Tein SA
I could easily daily this set up without having to worry about what route, hills, and speed bumps to avoid. The whole reason why I went with 20s. Roll the fenders and you're good to go.
I have a set of 20s with 245/35/20 tires with a high offset but 7.5" that i use to have in my 300M.. I have stock springs though... I went to a shop to throw them on for me but they refused. They said the ratio was like 7.3% but they were only allowed to go up to 4%... Whatever that means..
Since then, i haven't tried to put them on because I wasn't sure how it would pan out. I know i could go with a smaller tire but in parts of my city, pot holes be taking up more lanes than cars.
Any one else still pushing 20s?

I just bought an 05 tl and I'm wanting to lower it on some 20" vossen cv3s but I don't know the offset needed. I don't know where to start to lower it, nor do I know the profile of tire I need. I want it the same as this one. Any advice will help. Thanks!
