Thought I'd finally amuse you with pics of my car. Here's my wheels and how it rolls every day:




After I rolled my fenders I decided to see what wheels would sit flush now that my 8" +45 advans looked kind of sunken-in. My buddy had a set of TSWs sitting in his garage, 19x7.5 (7.5...i know ew) with a +35 offset. These looked flush Result:




They could still use a spacer. Or at least could be a little wider. But I rode around on them and they rubbed on the bumper tab, so thats next on the list to get fixed.

Also, thats tein basics on their lowest setting in case anyone is wondering in their disadvantages. Rides very bouncy too. I may end up raising it up a little bit to ride better. Maybe next summer I'll get a set of ksports

Thats it for now. Let me know what you guys think.

 

did you roll them your self. im about to get mine rolled im picking up some 19x8 40 offsets tomorrow. where part of philly you at we should do a photoshoot or something. i live in horsham.

 

my buddy and I split a fender roller rental. I did mine myself. Its pretty easy. Came out great, but as I was doing it, I guess I did a slight pull too, so now they are a tad bit wider too.

I'm from the part of philly thats 10-15 min away from horshram too.

 

yea it does look like it came out good, we should definatly meet up sometime.

 

lookin goodd

 

:gheyfight:


mmmm remember what i told u just buy ur wheels and tires then do the fender roll or cutting, its nothing major

 

as im looking at his i see that.

 

Thats what I'll be doing -- would 8.5 inches be too wide even after a fender roll?

Car looks good by the way.

 

should PM me so we don't hijack thread.

it depends on the offset and tires and how far you want to push it

 

lol

 

 

I'm in south jersey, and I need to roll mine as well (see my rubbing/scraping thread) Oh, and I want to meet up with all you guys! :gheyhug:

Thats where my friend rented his fender roller from. We split it and it came out to a reasonable price ($45 each after shipping charges)

If you want to roll your fenders I suggest you split it with a friend or two to make it more cost effective.

 

Those TSWs look siiiick

 

looks good. Basics ride like shit when they're down all the way because of their weak spring rates. You should swap out the springs if possible

 

not flush enough, gotta run those spacers brother:

 

Fancy.

Now wheres the rest of those pics?

 

i'll post it on my thread later... alignment today, gotta bring in the rear with more neg camber.

 

I'm ridin around without an alignment. If I run close to 0 camber those TSWs will fit even more flush.

 

way too much skin between your fender and your tire.

 

Nice wheels. That prelude in the background looks good too lol.

 

Looks great man! Both styles.

 

lol its too low rubs on the outside of the fender lining.

 

pussy statement. MORE CAMBER!

 

Pics of my car and the lude:






and what the lude has that the front bumper aint tellin:

 

i thought you said you didnt do photoshoots

 

im just special.... trust me it took me a lot to convince him even though hes a very good friend of myne

 

where you at in SJ? im in Marlton...

i like the rims in the third pic. sexy time!

 

I am posting some pics of my first 2001 CL-S to help people with wheel offset choices. I am all about the flush wheel look and obsess over this aspect probably more than anything else. The wheels on this CL were Gewalt EVO III_19.0 x 8.0_38mm offset. The rear fenders barely rubbed and slight roll took care of it. As you can see, this is almost the limit of 'flushness' without any modification really.

NOW, on my 2003 CLS-6, I am planning on running 19.0 x 8.5_45mm offset front & 19.0 x 8.5_35mm offset rear. Can anyone on this forum tell me if that rear wheel will fit with a fender roll and pull? I know the front will work all the way around and be okay, but I want my rears to be slightly more concave than my fronts. And for those who will say the car is FWD and shouldnt be playing up a more aggressive rear wheel, my answer is, it's all about physiology. The rear of a car is like its hind quarters. To look the most pleasing, the strength should appear to be greater on the hind quarters EVEN though we all know it is a FWD.

So again, what does the group think about 19 x 8_35mm rear? Is it possible?

 

 

wrong.

it will fit without a fender roll and pull.

19x8 +35 in the rear really isn't all that aggressive without fender modification. it's possible.

 

 

wow almost a year old thread. must have taken a long time to find.

i dont even have those advans anymore

 

 

talk about thread revival

 

Great looking car...nice lude...like a family reunion...

 

i have servo RJ rims and they are rubbing my fenders even after rolled em ET42 235/40/18

 

wow thats sexy

 

The car looks great man. Got any updated pics?

 

CL does look good. Lude= total sleeper. niiicccee
