2002 Acura CL type s Auto,

so I have stock wheels, but I'm lowered on the Eibach lowering springs. (About a 2 inch drop) Id like to get 17x8.5 wheels, but I'm not sure as to what the offset should be. What's the widest I could go with what offset, without rolling fenders?

 

do you have a rear camber kit?

If you want rims that wide you'll need a high offset if you don't want to roll the rear fenders. There's no definitive answer. Obviously you have a rim in mind.....what offsets does it come in?

 

the ones I really really like (Yoshihara D-5C) are only 18 inch. If I was to go with 18s, the widths are 8 (+40 offset) , 9 (+15 offset). could I go 18x8 (+40)?

 

No rear camber kit

 

Okay, scratch that. the wheels that I couldn't find after searching vigorously for, I finally found. (I've been wanting these for a very long time). They're 17x8.5 with et25 - et45 With lip size of 2.5". What do you think?

 

17 look too small on this car I think. But 8.5 +45 you're going to need to roll the rear fenders, which really isn't a big deal to have done.

The 3rd gen TL stock 17s - 17x8+45 - will barely rub I've heard (no rear roll).

 

So if I go 18x8, what should my offset be? (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, or 45)

 

45. You still might need a slight roll in the rear.

 

The higher the offset, the better on this car. You could get away with +40 but you'll rub in the rear without getting the fenders rolled.
