plz i need advice on rims and tires
 

http://www.elementwheels.com/prodimages/sprt002gm.jpgi wanna make my cl look jdm so i wanna get these rims but i dont know if i should go 16'' or 17'' . i got the car slammed to the floor and i got the 16'' factory with 205 55 16 tires but its eating my tires cuz they tell me tireshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif are to thick and the car is 4 inch drop i just bought coil over and camber kit and thinking of putting 16'' with 215 45 16x7 offset38mm i wanna keep it slammed i need some advice im buying them this week

look like 18s to me

as for your question:
"so how did u do that to ur lights
imma try doing it to mine"

He already told you. Look up the blackhousing DIY and tint your corners.

First of all, are you putting all those links in your sentences, or is that the website being weird? Nobody will even know they are there, and you don't have to do it every time you say car or tire.
Second, please use some more punctuation just so people can follow what you say more easily and therefore help you better.
Also, you don't need to post this exact same thing in three different threads, two of which you started with this as the original post.
Anyway, I didn't know JDM CL's came with wheels like that :snicker:.
But your tires are getting eaten up because they are rubbing? You could go down in wheel size, tire size, both, or raise the car some. If you are rubbing with 16s, going up to 17s would not be a good idea. You also say you are thinking of going with a lower profile tire on 16s. That would be a better idea, but damn man that is going to be funky.

i needed a answer and i was in a rush but u think is gonna look funny

It probably wont look too bad since you are slammed. I can't even imagine driving around with a 4" drop though.

post pics of your cl, i want to see this 4 inch drop
And i'm assuming eating tires because of rubbing since you have a camber kit and i assume if you dropped all that money on a camber kit that you would get a simple alignment.
But you can tell me if i am wrong.
Switch to a smaller size tire, 55's are quite big.

what's with people and jdm cl's? like half of the new members have jdm in their username

i should have phrased that better, i meant to say why are people calling there cl's jdm, so dumb
whenever my buddies say i'm just an import guy, i tell them how the cl was the first acura to be engineered and manufactured in North America, and that their domestic cars are probably more of an import than the cl... and then they stfu

There's nothing JDM about Sportmax wheels. The size is up to you. Search the 1st gen photo gallery and see what others have done.

And there's no such thing as a 4" drop on a CL, your frame will be on the ground

thanxz exact rims thats jdm
 

thankxz black , Are those 15" OR 16''? and my car is like gray silver.Should i go gumetal or black like that ??

I JUST NOTICE THEY ARE 16x8 0 off set 3 inch lip mine 16x7 38 offset 2 inch the lower offset the bigger the lip

ok, buddy...

CL come from ohio.... sorry to burst your bubble... so, we are not able to jdm it...lol

Lips don't really matter.... for size wise... it's just for looks...

if, you want to run slammed stay with a bit higher offset rims cause you will be poking and have nasty camber... either way you will have nasty camber...

correct me if, i am wrong... it might be that i'm really tired...

look through the Black market for wheels....

slammed CL...

love it

Post pics of car, and the wheel choices. Its a headache trying to follow your unpunctuated comments.

if 16x8 0 offset is 3 inch lip, there is no way 16x7 +38 offset is a 2 inch lip, with the same design
because it's an inch wider, that translates into half an inch more of lip, which is also about 13mm, plus you're taking away 38mm, so 38+13=51mm, 51mm/25.4mm = just over 2 inches less lip on a 16x7 +38 vs 16x8 0
and there is your math lesson for the day.
but please post a pic of you're cl i want to see if you're as slammed as you say you are

if 16x8 0 offset is 3 inch lip, there is no way 16x7 +38 offset os 2 inch lip, with the same design

and there is your math lesson for the day.

yeah u r rite i spoke to the shop im getting 16x8 and 15 offset it wont stick out 0 off set would stick out bout half a ich

16x8 15 off set with 205/40/16r tire so i can leave it slammed .I bought camber kit front and back and tein suspension mechanic told me it will camber bad

that DA is hawt

:thumbsup:

What camber kit did you get? I believe the Skunk2 kit requires you to cut holes in your shock tower for clearance. This is only if you're dumped, which it sounds like you are.

i got the ball joint and the 2 that go on the fork cuz they dont make the whole fork

-3 degree to 3+ front and back

omg, fail.... that camber kit is going to be thump thump

that's not the way to go if you are slammed....

I don't know about you, but I love my 22MM hex nut imprints on my shock towers under my hood. :tomato:

omg, fail.... that camber kit is going to be thump thump

I just put a set of 17's on my acura. i got 205 40 17's, and they're actually slightly smaller overall than the stock wheels & tires. try that.

haha, when you use that camber kit.... and are slammed... and go over bumps and stuff... you will hit the inner fender well.... and you will hear the sound "thump" ahhh, so fail with that kit.... haha cause the hex nut sticks out so much...

no..... it looks ugly... haha

when i put the car all the way down... i couldn't go faster than 5 miles per hour...

so all i'm hearing is that having no camber kit is good compared to that kit:biggrin:
just have to deal with minimal inner tread wear (may get my tires flipped if possible), and looking good being cambered

DAMn !! WHAT should i do I COULD GET MY $200 back.What should ibuy the stock ones ?cuz mine fucked up.

lol, know i'm just saying that kit sucks.... that's all

you should go with the skunk2 ef front camber kit... it's be shorter which gives more negative but it can bring camber to positive zero... not that you need that but you have that option..

CHECK THIS CAMBER KIT LOOK AT THIS LINK http://www.redlinemotive.com/store/e...-kit/acura.asp

it says Acura 2.2 CL1996 -19975.67320K $149.18Product Specs: Front +1.5 / +3. degrees of adjustment. u think these will make it thump thump or rub

this kit is for the rear.... man.... you bought fronts or rears or both?

I just got my money back. I went and bought stock upper ball joint and my lower sway bar bushing on both sides. See i bought the car wit the springs cut so now, imma put in everything new balljoints wit the 2 camber that go on the fork, Tokico shocks and skunk 2 coilovers and the rims and tires good aligment leave it at a 3 inch drop . THATS IT I MADE UP MY MINE I JUST BOUGHT EVERYTHING

I will put b4 and afta picz

if, you bought stock ball joints how are you going to adjust camber?

With the ones that go on the fork 2on each side and see from there
