They'd have to have a really high offset.....like +50-55!!!

They would probably rub like crazy...unless you plan on driving in a straight line all the time.

Also the quality of the rim looks piss poor.

cool that we are narrowing this down for me. I am just learning about this tire and wheel sizes.

Ok so:
18x8-or18x7.5or18x7
will fit.
Tires
225/40/18
offset of 45

so this is what i should look for and is any wheel or tire sizes better then the other?

Looks like they might be available in 18x8. Not sure about the offset.

Check The Wheel Connection

if you can try and buy local... that way if you have any problems you can go see the guy who sold you the rims instead of shipping the shit back....


my offset is 42mm but I did not drop the car yet.... next week i will let you know...LOL...

I am looking into getting some new rims too....

Can someone explain to me what "offset" means? I tHink I have a general idea, but I wanna be sure. so is 8inches the max width that will fit on the CL-S?....i've seen some ppl w/19" rims, but not sure what their width is, I'm sure its close to 8". Please advise.

also, check out

www.superbuytires.com
www.wheelmax.com

or just do a search on google for "rims, tires"
