You sir, are my inspiration...look for your clone here soon... 
How did you go about rolling the fenders? Did you have them done professionally? If so, how much did it run you?
I've always thought 18's were big enough for a CL, but seeing those 19's pretty much changed my whole opinion. I suppose it's the lip and mesh design that gives them the illusion of being smaller...

but both CLs were done nice & clean

because he's riding on negative camber. So in terms of "clearance" you'll have less than him because you're rolling on a stock height at no negative/positive camber for that matter. In theory, if his car were at stock height with even camber I'm sure he would be rubbing too. With negative camber, he has a bit more clearance available than strictly differences in offset. Both +40 and +38 are too low for acuras/honda all together and like he said in his initial post, he "does rub, but only on large bumps."

The wheel's offset is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. To determine wheel offset is a matter of simple arithmetic and use of millimeters. Unless the offset is measured in something other than the metric system, I don't know how it could be "different among companies". Quite frankly, the offset of a wheel is the only thing that wheel companies have in common; it is exactly how/what denotes what fits/doesn't fit on to your car.

I understand all wheel companies have different procedures as to how they measure and calibrate offset, but essentially, I think this statement is false.

if i lower my car, which springs would give me that type of negative camber as to where my wheels would tuck enough to give clearance of my fenders? also wouldnt his negative camber cause camber wear on the tires?? im really trying to figure this out cause i love the wheels i have except the size is off, but i have seen various people pull off a 19x8.5 with +40 offset, slammed, and minimal or no rubbing. gathering all the information since my offset is only 2mm off of his and taking into consideration hes also 12.7mm wider i think i shuold be able to pull this off? correct me if im wrong.

Uh, yeah! You're car is gonna eat tires like no tomorrow like that. What a waste.
Here's a better idea... Find a set of wheels that you like that actually fit the car properly.
Yeah, they are few and far between, but they're out there.

Has anyone run into any warranty issues through the dealership with a supercharger installed? I'll wasnt sure if I should wait for a factory warranty to run out (which is in a few months) or if I should install the charger soon.
