I think you need at least a +42 offset to be safe....but then no 235s if you get such a low offset for the CL.

I think when they list 114....they mean 114.3, that is a standard. I think you might wanna look into something with a +45 mm offset to fit 235/40/18s....and for 19s...i wouldn't try it with anything less than +50 offset

45mm offset, you could probably get away with with the current set up that you have. I have 48mm offset with the 235's and no rubbing thus far.
