"may be some" is an understatement.

DON'T DO IT! Especially if you want to lower the rear a bit more. I've seen a couple CLs here in Miami with 20s too and they've all had the 4X4 look.

but no tire rub! i was driving right on the steering wheel though. i thought that was the perfect test for my car. u turns are not a problem at all. i really think the cl can take 20s without a problem.anyone know where to find a custom grill??? (not the chicken wire!)

Mazda3 and Honda Civic in
I like all of them, but not trying to kiss Mantis' ass but those pics do not do that car justice at all. That I think is one of the cleanest CL's out there, it just needs some window tint. lol!

Thanks, they are actually off of the car, and not the ones listed in my Sig. I replaced them with HKS Superdraggers. I remember when I picked the tires up from you, you said you liked the way they sounded too. Anyway, the ones in the above pic are the Thermal R&D Axlebacks.

There are a few companies making 20x7.5 rims with 45 offset. Those shouldn't rub...I have 19's on my car...I can drive with my exhaust dragging on the ground and I still don't have tires rubbing. I think that some of the big gaudy chrome 20's look too big, but if you get a tuner looking 20 on there it'd look fine. Take xkrazix's car for example. He has iforged 20s and they look amazing on his car. If you're doing 20's, just make sure you get the right width and offset. Also, they make a 225/30/20 now...not cheap though.
