Well, the TL is 5x120, and your car is 5x114.3. You're looking at either changing the bolt pattern on the car (there's a few ways to go about this, but they'll all be rather expensive) or buying adapters (which will probably need to be 25mm to 30mm thick to clear your stock lug studs).

Ok, good to know. Can you give me some info about doing so each way. Will adapters look dumb and are they safe?

What info. are you looking for? Because most of it is available through a quick Google search.

You really won't be able to noticeable the adapters, when the wheels are on. If you purchase bolt-on adapters from a reputable company, they're completely safe.

To be honest, there really isn't a "best/safest" method. You can be just as safe going either way. It comes down to whether or not you want to do a lot of fabrication/research/work, or go the easy route.

The adapters would be the easiest route, but due to their thickness... you're going to have less clearance to the outer body panels, then if you went the harder route.
