just orderd 18x8 rims for my 03 cl-s and the guy said theyll fit with a 42 offset just checking to make sure thanx

 

u'll rub.

 

word major rubbage goin on there...who is "they" im guessing tireshack/discount tire? they are notorious for saying shit fits when in reality its gonna stick out like mexicans do daytons on ford contours.

 

I Have 18x8 withe a +45 and 235/40 tires and I dont rub at all really unless i have a full car and im rydin over bumps..

 

with the drop in your sig...i see rubbing in your future

 

Big time. Don't do it.

 

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?

 

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.

 

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.
