Need help on tire sizes?

I'm getting 18x8 GT1's. I wanted to know if a 235/40/18 will fit fine, with my comptech springs. I want to get kumho's. Please help me out guys. Thanks.

I have the 18x8 SSR GT1's and I have 225/45/18 on mine. That is the tire that is recommended with those wheels. The load rating on those 235/40/18 may not meet the specification for the 2003 CL. Tire rack won't sell any other size for that wheel except a 225/45/18. I'm sure many of the users on here have put under rated tires on there cars, but I still thought you should know.

Do you have pics of your GT1's on your car. I want to see them.

headers?

How did you get your headers to fit on the 6 speed?

Comptech has a limited supply of headers for the 6-speed, and I was able to get one through autocarparts.com. They should have a bunch by now. All they had to do was change one of the pipes.

I have the eibach pro kit springs, and I think your springs lower the car more then mine. I do rub on occasions, but not much. Do you have the stock shocks? If not, you may want to get some adjustable Koni's or Tokico shocks to stiffin up the suspension. Or maybe bend the lip on the wheel well so its not hiting.
