You guys think this is a good set up I'll be getting the Rh evolution C-2 ...they'll be here tommrow and i'm probably going with the toyo FZ-4 225/40/18 . The C-2 have an offset of +42 will this be ok ? Thanks

amir was here

if its a 7" wide rim, yes it is equivilant to a 18x7.5 with a 48 offset.

if its 7.5, you can not lower without rolling fenders.

if you dont want to lower its no problem, and you may even be able to put a 235 tire on, which some may want.

God

so say its 7.5 that means that I wont be able to put an Eibach pro kit on there with out it rubbing ?

GOT PSI?

You should be fine. I had the same rims w/ H&R Sport with no rubbing. Makesure you get the wheel spacer too, without it, your rims will not clear the brake calipers.

How much did u pay for your setup and where did u get them at?

I currently have Racing Hart M5 (1 piece) 18x7.5 (+42 offset) on my TL-S and IT RUBBED so I had to get my rear fender trimed.

My cars not even lowered.

IT WILL RUB FOR SURE.

FAUCK !!!!! so one of u guys said get a wheel spacer ? Will that really work or what ? and I paid $1197 for the wheels and prob about $135 a piece for the toyos . Also how do i go about getting the fenders trimmed ? whats the best way to go with this

God

I got it at a local shop around where I live at and i think i answered ur other questions in my other post .

Those are the all season toyo's. Almost got them, but another thread here turned me away due to snow performance, so I went with the Mich Pilot Sport A/S.
Since you won't have a snow issue, why not go with the 3 season proxies?

God

Alright my rims have finally came in today . I still want to know since i have a 42 offset that if i lower it will it rub if i put spacers on it ? B/c this is gonna piss me off bad if it does They look soo sweet too

Spacers would make it rub worse than it already would..

but no worries.. all you probably have to do is trim the rear bumper tab..

Yip, that's what I had to do... and I also had to bend the inside of the fender well lip upwards. I used a crescent wrench to do the bending, very gently, very slowly. I didn't want to bend the outside or crack the paint.

I also had to take a file to some metal right above the area I trimmed. (right above the arrow on his picture) Oh yeah, I used a dremmel to take off some of that plastic. I was able to make a perfectly smooth cutout and you'd never know I had to do it. Even used touch up paint on it.

As far as the brake caliper goes, it's no where close in the rear, but in the front, the brake caliper was literally less than a credit card's width from the back of the wheel. But it didn't rub and I don't have any problems.

The brake pads were 30% worn when I put the wheels on, and I'm afraid when I put new pads on the caliper might get in the way.

GOT PSI?

Where did you get the spacers? How much?

GOT PSI?

The wheel well in the CLS is NOT the same as the TL. The CL does not have the rear fender lip as we do, so +42 offset will fit, as I had +42 RH's on my 01' CLS.

GOT PSI?

You are right, the front calipers were too close so the shop I purchased my RH C2's from supplied a THIN spacer to clear the calipers a bit more at no charge.

God

So basically I'll be straight as long as i get a thin spacer for the front...right ? SO i'm guessing i dont have to cut bend or do anything to my fenders too ...right

GOT PSI?

You should be alright!
