proper offset for a 2000 TL

[03ozwhip]

just bought a 2000 TL and looking to throw on some 18x7.5, possible 18x8 and im wondering if anyone knows what offset would work without them rubbing. its not lowered but i will possibly lower it an inch or so in the future. thanks.

You can do 18/19x9 all around

+40-45 front
+30~ rear

run 225/35 all around

without rubbing or do i have to roll the fenders? im not really looking to spend a ton of dough on wheels and i know staggered wheels the ones i want anyways arent cheap.

On my 2000 TL, I had 19X7.5 +42 offset with 235/35/19's and rolled fenders with no rubbing. I was running Yokohama's with a square side wall compared to other brands.

its will be better to roll the fenders. im just wondering how many km on ur TL?? and how is the tranny???

i hope this link will help you

Depends on how aggressive you want to run but here is a general rule of thumb for these cars: these are the minimum offsets.

7" rim = +42 offset
7.5" rim = +45 offset
8" rim = +48 offset

> 8.5" rim ... custom bodywork for it to fit and camber.

You will probably have to help me out with the 6speed swap when the tranny goes lol.

[gqboy322]

172k on it and the tranny is great. i know all about the TL tranny issues but it was owned by my inlaws for about 5 or 6 years and they drive liek grannies lol it shifts smooth still

edit: your TL looks killer mine looks identical but stock unfortunately. what mods do you have on it?

[gqboy322]

i think he lower with rims and oem lip kit.

[03ozwhip]

2000 TL do you have a deck in and if so, did you lose the OEM Bose sub or were you able to bypass the OEM amp and still use it or what?

[JZS_147]

the setup i told you about might rub a touch if you slam the car. but it will look bad ass

I would suggest rolling the fenders anyways.

I don't have a deck. I use the ipod adapter and plugged it into the back of the cd changer port at the back so I can use my ipod. Still have function of the deck, sub and steering wheel functions.

[03ozwhip]

hmmmm, where did you get the ipod adapter? how much do you know?

You can probably find one online for cheaper, but I got mine a long time ago (probably 6 years ago) from future shop.

All you do is take off the side panel, a few screws, pull out and reach your hand around the back. There is an empty slot for a cd changer port. Just plug in and screw back the panel.

i might do that but i want the more power to the speaker from a deck but i dont want to lose the stock sub....im gonna talk to visions to see if they can bypass it to work...

lol yea the ff1 you can make it sit on the floor, but my e92 is already slammed. I had the TL already slammed for about 8 years now. Just recently raised it.
