Unhappy help on wheels...

i have a 96 acura TL 2.5 and i need some help on finding wheels. i want to go 18"s and the suspension is ground control sleeves with koni shocks but im having trouble finding a good offset size for my car without having to roll my fenders. does anyone have any good ideas on what wheel offset to have?

I can't quite remember what the suggested offset for the 2.5 is but im runng with +40. i don't rub with 2 people sitting in the back (I have eibach springs). anything lower, you will rub if you drop your car.

When I read the title I thought it was going to be about a nurse in a wheel chair...... I was way off.

yeah, I'm pushing it with +40. Don't go any lower, especially if your car is lowered.

Which eibachs do you have on your car? the red or black springs?
