    Default Will 18" Factory Outlander VRX Alloy wheels fit on my TL ES wagon.

    Just wondering if a set of 18" VRX Outlander Stock Alloys will fit on my TL ES 03 wagon. The specs of the wheels are:

    18x7 with a offset of 38 and they have 225/55R18 tyres on them.


    cheers!

    They will bolt up but the tyres will need to be changed to something more suitable as the rolling diameters are way off!

    The 225/55R18 tyres will give about 20mm more ground clearance than the Magna's 215/60R16 tyres, making your actual speed & distance about 6% greater than the speedo & odometer indicate. Somewhere on this forum there's a thread where discussing an electronic device that can correct that. Or you could swap to 225/50R18 tyres for about 10mm more ground clearance and a 3% speed/distance difference or to 225/45R18 tyres for about a 2.5mm less ground clearance and a -1% speed/distance difference. No idea what's available in those sizes, though.

    Sites such as these:

    allow comparisons to be made between different tyre/wheel sizes.

    I had 225/45R18s on my Outlander 18" mags when they were fitted on my TJ, closest to OE rolling diameter
