Hey CLpower.............
Quick question about rubbing with 225/40/18 on 18x7.5 rims with 45mm offset.
I think you had this setup on your Cl with it slammed. Just wondering if the tires would rub against the outside of the fender.
The reason i'm asking is because my springs have now sagged well past a 2 inch drop and I got new rims but I don't want to put them on if they are going to rub. I'd rather go with a 215/40/18. My stock tires right now are extremely close to rubbing.
Any info is appreciated........

Thanks for the info...
When you say you rubbed a little bit was it in the rear or front. Also could it have been fixed by hollowing out the fender a little bit....

Yeah I think I will try a camber kit. Took my car in for alignment today and the rear wheels are about -1.7 degrees on the left and -2.0 degrees on the right. Surprisingly the front tires are a little better.
It sucks, the bastards scraped the bottom of my car when they were driving it onto the hoist.
