About This Acura TL Type-S 2007 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Acura TL Type-S 2007 sits on a set of 19×10 / 19×11-inch VIP-Modular Vx110 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose VIP-Modular for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Acura TL Type-S builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the VIP-Modular Vx110 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: VIP-Modular Vx110 on the Acura TL Type-S 2007
I walked around this TL Type-S for twenty minutes just to wrap my head around the fitment. The owner jammed a 19x10 up front and a massive 19x11 out back, which is borderline insanity for this chassis. We rarely see a third-gen TL running a 10-inch width on the steer axle without major headache.
The +10 offset across the board pushes these VIP-Modular Vx110s right to the edge of the fenders. Because the car sits on air suspension, it tucks that metal deep into the wheel wells when parked. You get that perfectly flush look that every enthusiast chases on a Sunday morning.
Clearing the factory Brembo calipers on a Type-S is always a nightmare with multi-piece wheels. These Vx110s use a high-pad disk design that gives just enough breathing room for the rotors. We checked the clearance, and there is maybe a credit card’s worth of space between the spoke and the caliper face.
The step-lip barrel on the rear 19x11 creates a deep, aggressive dish that demands attention. You lose a bit of inner clearance to the suspension arm, but the air setup keeps everything floating perfectly. I suggest you keep an eye on your inner control arm bolts if you go this wide.
Hub bore matching is non-negotiable here to prevent those nasty high-speed vibrations. The owner used custom rings to ensure the VIP-Modulars sit dead-center on the Acura hubs. Without that precision, you would shake the dash off the car at highway speeds.
The front fenders definitely needed a serious roll and a slight pull to swallow that 19x10 width. If you run a tire with a square sidewall, you will shred your liner in five miles. Stretch your tires slightly to keep the rubber away from the metal lips.
I love how the wheel design mimics the sharp lines of the Type-S bodywork. These spokes look like they were carved specifically for this era of Acura design. It is a bold, industrial look that elevates the whole sedan.
What We Recommend for Acura TL Type-S 2007 Owners
If you want to replicate this look, start with a 19-inch diameter to keep the proportions balanced. Anything smaller makes the TL look like a rollerskate, and 20s will ride like a wooden wagon. Stick to the 19s to find that perfect middle ground between style and usability.
We usually tell people to stay closer to a +25 or +30 offset if they want to drive hard. The +10 offset shown here is strictly for the show-and-stance crowd who do not mind fender work. If you are a daily driver, bring that offset back inward to save your paint.
Staggered setups look incredible on the TL, but they make tire rotations impossible. You sacrifice some convenience for that deep-dish rear profile. I think the trade-off is worth it every single time you look at the car from the rear three-quarter view.
Always budget for a professional fender roll before you bolt on wheels this wide. You will crack your paint if you rush the job with a cheap roller tool. Do it right once, or prepare to pay a body shop to fix your mess later.
Tire stretch is a functional necessity when you push the offset this low. We recommend a 235/35 front and a 255/30 rear to get that clean look without popping a bead. Keep your air pressure up if you plan on spirited driving.
Style and Build Analysis
The custom finish on these Vx110s catches the light in a way that stock wheels never could. It pulls out the metallic flakes in the Acura paint while adding a high-end, polished contrast. You can tell the owner spent a fortune getting the color matching exactly right.
The design language of the Vx110 is busy but refined, echoing the complex geometry of the Type-S front bumper. It avoids the trap of looking like a generic aftermarket wheel. Instead, it looks like a factory prototype that Acura was too scared to build.
Proportion is everything when you modify a sedan of this size. By filling the arches completely, the car looks planted and heavy on the road. It loses the "grandpa car" aesthetic and transforms into a predatory piece of machinery.
Compared to the typical builds we see on the forums, this one feels intentional. A lot of guys just slap on whatever fits, but this car shows a clear vision from front to back. Every panel complements the wheel barrels perfectly.
The visual weight of the car feels perfectly distributed over the four corners now. You do not see a gap, just a clean transition from the tire tread to the fender lip. It is the gold standard for how a bagged TL should sit.
Why We Love This Build
This TL Type-S is pure art in motion. When the air system dumps the bags, the fenders sit right on the lips, turning the car into a static masterpiece. The custom finish on the VIP-Modulars pops against the dark paint, turning heads at every intersection we pass.
We love this build because it does not compromise. It takes a classic platform and forces it into the modern era with aggressive geometry and refined taste. It proves that you can still make a legendary sedan look fresh and relevant in today’s scene.
Seeing this car on the road is a reminder of why we fell in love with modifying cars in the first place. You need a set of these wheels to truly finish your build.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Acura TL Type-S owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 19×10 / 19×11-inch wheels fit my Acura TL Type-S? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Acura TL Type-S owners run 19×10 / 19×11-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
