i might be getting some tires and rims right now and i dont know for sure if they will fit. so can you guys try to help me out quickly?
its for a first gen cl

the rims are 17x7 with a 35offset and 4x114.3 lug pattern

and i think 215 40 17 tires

 

actually i think it might have been a 45 series tire

 

Yes, they will fit, as our cars are a 4 x 114.3 bolt pattern, May I make a suggestion.... GET 18's !!!!

 

hmm. well i got denied on getting rims today. forgot bank is closed and cant go pull out my money :o DOH!

now 18s, not sure if i want them. i dont want to go too big. heard if you want to stay more performance oriented the highest you should go is 17s. of course we dont really own a sports car here but i dont drive like a sports car driver. . dont want to be blowing up my tires or bending rims. quite a few potholes here.

 

Hey, did you go to the Kings game? My 18's were good enough to keep up with the CL-S boys at the meet in Elk Grove through the twisties.

 

nah it was either have money for rims/tires or go to game 1 and i picked rims and then we lost:o best of 7 series though so its far from over. i really just wish webb wouldnt take so many outside shots and is making more of them but i just want to see him try and take it in like a real power forward. well we will see what happens.


well you guys now got me looking at 18s on ebay. hehe

 

will a lug pattern of 4x110 work with the first gen?

 

NO!

Only 4 x 114.3

 

what do you guys think of these? i think they look cool and cheap

LoL... I was actually debating those when I was looking for rims, I saw a BMW the other day with them on, they actually looked pretty good...

 

so they looked cool in person? hmm. not a bad price either. i may have to go for those and join the 18inch club.

 

yeah, I almost bought them, from the same person on ebay, until I decided I want chrome.... yes, they looked really good on that bmw that I saw... it was lowered w/ 18s & looked really tight... if you get them... get 40 series tires, not 35....

 

ok i bought them


EDIT: now i just need a prokit to get rid of my gap.

 

Congrats!!! Now post some pics after you put them on... and YES, you will need a prokit... it's gonna look like a 'monster" CL until you do!!!!

 

Congrats! They look good!

18s and the Pro-Kit have really improved the overall looks of my CL.

What tires are you getting?

 

May I recommend 225/40/18 size tires...

 

thanks for the compliments guys. i will definetly be getting a size 225/40/18 tire and i think i have decided on either the nitto 555 or possibly the toyo t1s although they are a little bit more.

 

Post some pics when you get them done... If you wanna see 18s & a pro kit, here is a link to some pics of my car...

found out the rims dont come with lug nuts can i just buy any lug nuts or do i need to buy the ones the guy is trying to sell me for $30 plus shipping?

 

Just go to your local shop & buy them.... MAKE SURE THEY HAVE LOCKS!!!!!
