I orderd the Eibach prokit and some tokico HP's but didnt stop to think about the wheels i have on.. I have an 01 CL that is riding on 04 TL rims. they are 17x8 with a 45mm offset. am i going to rub with this setup???

 

nope you should be just fine bro

 

don't think so... i thot the 04 TL rims were 8.5 tho? not 100% sure...

 

Please do not listen to mikebiagini. YOU WILL RUB. The prokit drops the car significantly and with a 17x8 +45 offset you will definitely rub. You might even have to get your fenders rolled.


The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 3mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 23mm

That's almost an inch further out of the wheel well. Take a tape measure and do the calculations and see where the wheel/tire ends up.

 

what size tires are on the wheels? this will play a big factor as well.

 

I have to agree with NSXNEXT, the prokit is a significant drop, and with an 8" wide wheel and a 45 offset, you will probably have issues.

The tire size will be a factor too.

 

yeah i have finlly come to terms with the fact that they will rub. I am just hoping it will at least be drivable for a week or two. I am going to purchase the servos from ron next week and luckily the car will be in the body shop all week long.

the TL tires are wearing 235/45r17... the tires i just bought from mattg are 235/40r17's those will be going on the servos.
