Wheel Offset Q

So here is a picture of my CL. The wheels i have are 18x8 but I forget what the offset is. My inclination is that they are +37mm. They are Tenzo Type M's.

My objective is to get the rears flush (heck maybe even the fronts too.) So what size spacer would do the trick?


Yes, I'm from Idaho.

Nice CL!

I doubt theyre +37 because that would be definately be flush, if not sticking out past the fender. Maybe +47. BTW, what is your suspension

well i can definatly tell you those arent even close 37 offset. probably a little closer to what zac said. what size tires do you have? if you have 225's a 40 offset will make it flush.

then find out what offset your rims are then calculate how many mm's will get you to a 39-40 offset.

are the stats the same as the rear? if your going to do a 40 offset your going to have to roll your fenders if your lowered.

you could buy them at $525 and easily sell them for $1000 and make profit.
