Yea they do come in 19x8 applications but I think the only offset you can get is a 40 or 45, which will cause you to modify your fender lips and the plastic tabs on your rear bumper, I shaved my rear fenders and cut the plastic tabs on the rear bumper, and pushed my front wheel well clips up, so I get veryyyy minor rubbing, the front wheel when hitting a bump barely hits the clips for the wheel well in the front, only like the top two thats it, but the rear hardly rubs even with four people now...but my 18x7.5 wheel is a 42 offset, I think the CL-S has maybe about 2-3 mm more room under the wheel well, because some of the CL members have 42 offset but they get very minor rubbing without shaving fenders but mine rub alot in the beginning....

Is your car lowered? Im getting the comptech springs, so if yours rubs with 18's and no springs maybe it would be smarter to get 17's?
Also how heavy are those?

No as you can see from the pics, my car is definetly lowered, about 2f/1.5r inches, I have Ground Control Coilovers, which helped me get a raked stance, the car was in a driveway that is kinda angled, so the front looks realllly low while the back looks kinda high, but on a flat surface, you can hardly fit 2 fingers in between the front and back...rubbing has NOTHING to do with the size of your wheels, if you get an 18x7.5 with 47 or higher offset, you probably need to trim a little rear bumper and would not get any other rubbing at all...but I liked these wheels and was ready to do some modifying to fit them...

I remember you were supposed to get them on your first CL. What offset did you get them in? They're going to rub right?

how are the Ground Control's??

Whats the ride quality like?

Ive been leaning towards getting them.

Could you compare them to Comptechs or Eibachs or something?

I like my Ground Controls ALOT, they ride nice and not to bouncy but gives you a firm ride, like many other GC owners have said, the ride is relatively good, cant really tell its Coilovers, actually sometimes seems soft for some reason, The springs arent progressive like lowering springs, but they are a very good compromise between ride and handling...Im sure you wont be disappointed in the ride quality of these...but one thing I recommend when getting these is that you should get some tokico blue shocks front and rear (about $300 with shipping) with this kit, your gonna end up changing them very soon, because mine blew out after like 2 weeks, and another is, like any other coilover system, the bitch is constantly adjusting them the two rear wheel well gap is the same and that the front two wheel well gap is the same, because once you adjust the two rears to be the same gap, and somehow the front is off, and then you adjust the front two gap to be the same, the rears are off by alittle, and you gotta do this by trial and error, and now my car is perfectly level after doing this about 3 separate times, gotta be patient but pays off in the long run, btw when you install the GC kit you should email me on what tips and precautions you should take...Ill give you should good pointers...well if you have any other ?, feel free to email me, take cares!
