depends on your drop, wheel width and tire size.


i have 18x7 +42 w/ a 3" drop. i rub a little bit in the back on hard corners. that's with the fenders shaved.

I had 18X7.5 +42 with 235 rubber & CT drop, & rubbed on large dips & bumps in the road. If your not lowered 235's are fine. If you are you will rub with them. 225's seem to be ok on most roads however I heard they even scrap sometimes on extream bad road or alot of weight in the car.

I have a TLS (and I'm starting to think the rear fenders are different on the CLS) and I rub with 18x7.5 with 42 offset wrapped in 225/40/18 tires. I am on stock suspension. I should note that it only happens with people in the back (although 1 person will do it).

The TL fenders are different on the CL. If you haven't done so already, you'll need to shave the rear fender tabs.

yeah, I probably will when I get a chance. I was trying to see if anyone would buy the wheels first (although I do like how they look!).
