Yep they will fit if you not lowered. Lowered you'll rub.

Would rolling the fenders a little make these fit. I just found a nice set of SSRs 18x8 +42mm. And I am lowered quite a bit.

I have 8 inch wide wheels with a +45 and they don't rub unless slamming into bumps...it will be close but you will be fine with a fender roll.

8", +45, 'lowered' and 'no fender roll'?

& 235 tires?

STypeAcura

Just follow everyone's good advice. I didn't know about Acurazine until having my car for a couple of months. When I first got my car one of the rims was bent and I had to get a new set of rims in a hurry.

I got a set of rims with +42 offset and they were fine with the OEM suspension. Once I lowered the car and I have a lot of stuff in my trunk or anyone in the backseat- I rub whenever I go over a grove. It's just not worth the hassle of always worrying. The rims might look nice but you'll freak out if you ever have 2 other people in your car besides feeling embarassed because they hear your tires rubbing too.

+45 and higher. I am in the process of getting new rims just for that fact. Save yourself the hassle.

mine are 8 inch with a +45 offset and they didn't rub but in certain cases. when i slammed it i went ahead and had the fenders rolled and pulled a little just in case.

Same here. Bought my wheels very soon after buying my CL and got +42 offset, but in my case my wheels are only 7.5" wide, so with 225/40's I'm planning on running Tein H-Techs. I have a good feeling with some decent shocks I'll hardly ever rub.

04 TL wheels...I have some pics on the photograph forum.

I bought Motegi DV5 Glossy Black, 18X8 with a +50 offset, Kuhmo summer performance tires 235/40-R18 it works well, no rubbing issues.

I looked at the offset of the custom wheels that Ronjon builds, his CL recommended 18X8 wheels have a +52mm offest, so I went as close that that as I could find.

+48 will also be fine with 8" wide rims. Below that & your into maybe/maybe not territory

Im guessing that a 18x8 with a +40 offset is going to rub like no other when dropped on Ksports?

Heres a link to the wheel: http://www.tsw.com/details.php?wheel...ra_TL_3_2_1996

^oh yeah

Seems its very tough to find a proper sized wheel for these cars. Any recommendations on a decent site to check out. I got fed up with tirerack not allowing me to even look at the wheels because its not the proper size.

CL SpeedsteR

I know this topic has been discussed several times and I was even on here asking dumb questions but I think I got it now.

Please bear with me here.

Is this formula correct??

The lower the car, the higher the offset has to be????

+

The narrower the wheel, + higher offset the better off I am for the look I want which is dumped?

So if I want run a 19x7.5 wheel with a +45 or higher offset, slammed three inches, I ll be ok right? Of course I know I may have to fender roll but I at least want to be tucking.
