Help me make this fit!

Hey guys,

I'm currently looking for a new set of shoes for the car. The size of the wheels are 18x8.5 offset +30 or +48. I know i'm going to have to roll/pull the fenders but what else?!? I'm stuck here. Also need help with the tire size as well. Thanks

18x8.5 +48 all around wouldn't require much work to fit. Maybe just cutting the bumper tabs.

Yea, just get the 18x8.5 +48mm. You can get away with 235-40/18s if you trim the rear bumper tab alittle bit.

Can't you just go 225/40/18 on 8.5? or is that stretching it? I don't think you would rub on a +48 right?

Those wheels are going to look good on your CL.

And...when you get them we gotta take the CL for a photoshoot!

man so much crap I still need to fix on the CL i.e. repaint front bumper, install and re-clearcoat the cf hood (yea it's STILL not on yet). A lot of little things. Did you ever get a new motor for your car?

if you need your engine swapped in and whatnot I can ask him, depends on what you need done. I need to get my timing belt changed soon as well. that trip to LA just brought me over 100,xxx miles
