I think that they fit but you need to modify your fenders or somethig to that affect. I'm not 100% sure so someone correct me if i'm wrong.

they'll fit w/ some fender modification. They'd look dumb though

20 would rub a lot but you would have to flae out the fenders some, i would say about a 1inch or so, but i would go wit 18's, 19 look nice but your just paying for looks, anything above 18" weighs too much and cost a lot

go 18's and you can drop and loer your car enough to be low and ride nice, 20's would be hard but with the right $$$

Go with 19's, they fill the wheel well up perfect. There's a guy rolling around with a 98 CL on some chrome 20's. The car sits high as fuck, and the wheels look too big for our car. IMO. It doesnt look good at all. But hey, if u wanna go for it, do and show us how it turns out.

20's on a cl you need to modify the fender and 4X114 twenties are very limited not a wide variety

20's in the back and instead of 18's put 19's up front would be sick! That'd be a sweet setup, i'd have to give u mad props on that!

yeah.. that would look tiite.. give u that euro exotic look.. but .. i dunno.. 20's on a CL? .. your tires would probably wear a lot due to the scraping against.. i dunno.. EVERYTHING.. just my guess..

I would say you would have to at least remove the rear wheel wells, no matter what. But it wouldnt matter, sinc u cant really see em anyway. alright man, you gotta do it now!

any deep dish rim wont fit on our cars. its too small. you'd have to get the same front and back.
