Exclamation wheel fitament HELP!

I'm about to pick up a set of wheels that are 19x9.5 with a 55 offset. Will they fit the cl? or will it rub on the inside?

someone on the tl side ran this exact fitment. you'll need a spacer to push these wheels out because it'll hit the shock tower esp if u're on oem shocks.

run 225 all around, roll fenders, cut tabs

front 19x9.5 +47 (originally 55 offset but with 8mm spacer)
rear 19x9.5 +50 (originally 55 offset but with 5mm spacer)

Nice wheels and the fitment looks good too. Post up pics when the time comes!

i say run 10mm depends if you mind it poking out.

remember since it has a lot less inner clearance you must take in consideration of camber. more negative camber means less clearance as well.

you guys guessed right. I just picked up those SSR professors brand new in box. i tried it on and it rubs real bad from the inside. Im thinking about going 8mm in front and 10 in the rear. rolling the fenders out real soon and switching coilovers. SS dont drop low enough. Btw im running no camber kit if i do get a camber kit ill be going more negative.

Cool, sounds good. Those wheels look great and will look really nice on your car. Go with a stiffer/lower set of coilovers if possible, i.e. Ksport, Function&Form, D2.

you guys think if i throw a 15mm spacer in the rear and 10mm in front everything will clear ok or should i run 5mm in front and 10mm rear? well with my fenders rolled also. basically the front will be a 19x9.5 45 offset and the rears will be 19x9.5 with a 40 offset. will run 225/35/19's all around. let me know what you guys think.
