I'm planning on buying a 03 Cl 6 speed within a few months , my father owns a 02 auto type s so I'm familiar with the car , anyways I had plans to go for a aggressive stance 18x9 +35,18x10.5+20 for a wheel combo on the Cl , but that has a lot of cons as I know , fwd,oversteer,bad handling , no good in winter (when I plan I buying the car) & I can't rotate running staggered , so that has alot of doubts lol
Anyway I found some 19x10+20 wheels but for all around , I know I can get the rear on with some pull & roll , but is 10 too wide for the front ??? Would it even matter since its not staggered ?
The wheels come in that or 19x8.5+15 , I wanted Atleast 9.5 all around if I wasn't going staggered , so 10 is as close as I can get .
So basically question is would I need to do front fender work to make the 10 fit ? Would it require a lot of stretch tire ? Or is a 10 just too wide for a fwd ?

Help me out guys , I've did tons of research on this stuff but I'm not sure on that one .

10s aint going in the front especially with that offset. just go with the 8.5 +15 and call it a day and even with that your going to need a good stretch and camber.

Yeah my dad has 18x8 +45 with the gun metal a specs , they sit flush , so +15 should look pretty aggressive ?

didy has 18x10 with +38 offset and his is pulled ,stretched and cambered brother...gl

What about some 19x9+20 ?? All around

Was messing around and test fitted this wheel for a shoot on another car, decided to see what they look like on the CL. 18" x 8.0" with a 32mm offset & 225/40/18, rubbed instantly with a moderate drop, I have NO idea what you will have to do to get such an extreme spec wheel to fit. Why not just go with what works instead of creating all these problems for the sake of some numbers on your wheels?

going for the hella flush look man , pulled & rolled fenders & camber , ill be okay

the CL really isnt a "hellaflush" type car. youre going to have all loads of problems trying to get into parking lots, parking garages, side streets driveways, etc.

my 18x8 +40 wheels with a 2" drop rub occasionally on bumps in the road.

9" wide and a +30 offset would be the max for this car

How did you see this:

and subsequently ask this:

Look at pictures of what works and find a stance you like. If you choose to get 19x9 et20s, please do post pics. I seriously love threads like that. It's either going to be hellafail or Mexiflush.

theres so much wrong with this post i don't even know where to begin. any car can be hellaflush theres no set cars for it. i probably have the most aggressive set of all currently active cl members dont have any problems and its daily driven. the funny part is i dont even rub unless i hit a insanely steep incline or a really big dip in the road.

My post was based on the fact that "hellaflush" is USUALLY associated with RWD and the VIP scene.

My buddy Rajca has a pretty aggressive setup on his CL and it looks great but I would rather have something more practical since I live in Chicago and use the car year-round.

I believe he actually has a more aggressive setup than you Diddy since he has on the front a +20 and rear a +15

ok now i see what you mean. i didnt know that his offsets were that low. his rims must not be that wide.

9" front and 9.5" rear

i checked his thread.

"Rims are 18x9 +35 all around. With spacers on the back that makes the back 18x9 +19."

oops my mistake lol I remember there was a 9" and the spacers made it between +15 and +20

still looks crazy in person and he has to drive on an extreme angle just to get in his driveway

P diddy help me pick a wheel size out I'm going crazy trying to decide what setup to run.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

no prob. how wide were you thinking?

1foxbody

8.5 front and 9.5 rear I don't want to thread jack so come over to my thread in this section lol.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

lol i was thinking that too.

1foxbody

I know you, lippstuh, and nspec all have had a bunch of different aggressive wheel setups over the years so I'm just trying to decide on what to do. What's your opinion on those sizes I said in the post earlier? I still need to decide what offset if I decide to stick with that width.

i responded in your thread.
