I also wanted to ask if anyone knows if there is a set of 17' or 18' OZ ultraleggara HLT that will fit a cl. I dont think there is but thought id ask.

Between those two I'd pick option 2 as option 1 will end up looking small at 17 inches. I LOVE my 3G TL wheels and would recommend finding some pictures of those on a CL as they give a clean aggressive look. I'll be posting pictures after I finally install my springs and shocks this weekend but there's other pics on this forum.

option 1 is 8 inches wide, whereas option 2 is 7.5. Will that extra .5 inch really help much with grip. It looks like they still recommend same tire sizes for both.

235/45/17 for either size
Closest to stock diameter. Better traction. Better wheel protection. Are you lowered at all?

235 45 17 will be the same height as your factory tires. It also has a slightly larger sidewall so a little more rim insurance and softer ride than a 40 series.

I might just get these in 235/45-17. They scored first in a car and driver autocross comparison and are resonably priced at 125.

For the enkei ekm3's tirerack has 18x7.5 5x114 in 38mm offset. I also found them in 18x7.5 5x114.3 in 45 offset, and also 18 x 8 5x114.3 in 40 mm offset. I have the koni/neuspeed Sp3 shocks and neuspeed sport springs on. I can adjust the shock height, which wheels would fit my car best. Thnx. Also the tires i have already are 235/40-18.

18x8 would be my choice, you may need to roll your fenders though.

Well since you already got the tires, its all about offset. Offset closest to stock is the safest choice for no rub.. So the +45 would be the best
Someone correct me if im wrong

The wheel decision is even harder now. I can get the ron jons for 620 shipped or buy the enkei next friday with free shipping for 711 or 741 based on offset. Some good deals out there what u guys think.

Enkeis. The Inspyres are ugly.
I still say go with the 18x8. You can put wider tires on it to handle the performance parts youre putting on.

They will still fit (thats what Im running on my Legends).
Once that set is worn, he can run wider.
