Ditto, but you still will look like a Navigator or a H2 without the drop.

Won't be quite H2-ish yet hehe, but yeah without a drop you are just going to have wheel gap, thats all there is to it. Plus with larger wheels it accentuates how bad wheelgap look cause the well doesn't have the same curve in comparison to the tires as stock. But if you get tires with a fairly large amount of rubber (i.e. not the little rubberbands people put on 19s) - deffinetly over 40 at LEAST - then you'll be good to go.

I agree, tucked tires = durty
The CL is a luxury car, tire tuck-age demeans and cheapens it.

Yeah. However exception is having air ride. If you have air ride and want to slam your car while its parked i can understand, but if you drive with tuck you just look goofy.
