I am looking for get some 18" wheels 18x7.5 with 235/40/18's on my 2001 CL-S. The car is stock not lower... but the wheel's offset is only 42mm Do you think with the 235/40/18's I will get rubbing?

Also, I am thinking about upgrading to Tein's SS coilover in the future... do you guys know if this will be a potential problem with a 42mm offset? I know the stock 17" offset is 55mm.... Can anyone provide some ideas?

Thanks!!


2001 Sundance Gold CL-S
Comptech Anti Sways
20% Lumaar Tint

Future upgrades coming soon---

 

no... but the wheels would stick a bit to the outside like 3 mm more than my setup.. I have the same but +45 ...0 rubbing!

 

I have 18s with 225-40-18s and +48 with no probs.

 

Even with my future upgrades to Tein Coilovers you think it will be ok? since the car will be lowered like 1-1.5 inches? I think if it is only going to stick out like 3mm I can live with that..

I just heard horror stories about how people take hard turns in their TL-S/CL-S with 235/40/18 tires and less than +45 mm offset rub like crazy... if it is only going to stick out a little then that would be just totally "heavenly" because the OEM tires scuks!! after I installed my Sways I just found out how sucky the OEM tires are...
