I have coilovers and adj. struts.....im thinking about getting 18x9.5 +15 offset all the way around my car. Do you think its doable? I like the +15 offset because it looks better deeper dish. I know I have to roll my fenders, but just wondering what you guys think.

if you have or plan to get a BBK, the +15 will not work.

Ahhh... I see. I really dont think i'll get a BBK but it would be nice. Not too many rims at all look good on these cars, but I really think those RPF1's will go really good with this car. Do you think I should go for it or stick with my 07 TL-S wheels? I just think the RPF1's will draw more respectable attention to my car and look amazing.

RPF1's are awesome, only advice I'd offer is go for a higher offset. Look at Gnuts picture thread below, his car looks great and one of the better CL's on this board, but his were +35 offset I believe and would not clear BBK, so think about it before you pull the trigger. IMO, spoke rims like those really expose your calipers even more than normal. Over time, the upgrade bug will hit and you'll wish you bought rims that cleared bbk.

Dont get me wrong his car looks good, but I dont really like the RPF1's split six star sticking out..I think it looks better set back inside with a deep dish. He's got 18x8 +35. The 18x9.5 +15 will give it a more aggressive look, also with wider rims it will handle better with the right tires.

cool good luck. aside from bbk clearance, rolling fenders and relocating/shaving bumper tabs will be a must for you and F/R adjustable camber kits if you don't have them already.

I'm not sure if you will need additional fender modification but probably not. check out some cars in the photo gallery section, like lippstuh or p.diddy, who ran very aggressive setups...should be helpful for you. there's another 'widebody' CL done on here, forget the member though but check the photo gallery forum.

Run it ! i got a set of mb battles on my 03 and i love it ! i just got done rolling the fenders and i still need to do a little adjustment to fender pulling. but its difficult cuz the guy that rolled my fenders screwed up one side and cracked paint -_- ...
