17x9 +15? and pic of my car

Whats up guys. I was wondering if 17x9 +15 offset wheels will give me a flushed look on my cl? I dont want the wheels to be poking out of my fenders.

Heres a pic of my cl [IMG]Cl2[/IMG]

with such low offset your wheels WILL be poking out. you will have to fender roll and a lot more things to them. and we cant see the pics

the pic doesn't work. but im pretty sure with a 17x9 setup that you would need to roll the hell out of the fenders to make it flushed.

according to my handy dandy wheel calculator, you're gonna be poking .5mm more than my old wheel setup. It poked a little too much for my taste so i got rid of em.

lemme help you out a bit. How low are you trying to sit? and are they that fitment all around?

ive got 17x9.75 with a et20 all around. but thats not all needed to decide if they will poke. it really matters where you wanna sit. as you can see it this picture, when i first got them they poked a lot!


Then i grew some balls and lowered it more. some natural camber dialed the wheels right under the fender. so again.. it matters where your willing to take it, and how aggressive you would like to get.


no poke




hope i cleared it up

do you have anymore pictures of this setup? like straight down the side of the car? similar to the last one you posted where you lowered it more? im looking at getting a wheel thats 9" wide with an et20... Im hoping I dont have to run much camber seeing as I drive it daily

You are bringing back an old post from a very long time ago but I have the same exact setup you are looking at on my car and I daily it. You do not have to camber much. Probably about -2 and you can run 215/45 tires easily. Just make sure you get tires that stretch good.
