Which wheels do u think fit the cl better. My car is silver btw.

Option 1 http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

Option 2 http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

I also am planning on these tires http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes....el=Ventus+R-S2

What size tires would u guys recommend. I was thinking 225/45/17

 

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.

 

I would go with option 1. If your not too low, go with 235 series tire. It keeps the speedometer more close to stock.

 

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.

 

Tirerack had the option 2 up in 18's for cheaper than the 17's but looks like they sold them all. Im more concerned with performance than big wheels tho.

 

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.

 

what would be better for tire size for a 17x7.5 or 17x8

225/45/17

235/40/17

someone give me some opinions please

 

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.

 

tirerack dsnt have the hankook ventus rs-2 in 235/45/17. they only have the ones i posted. I wanted to get those cause they are on closeout prices for only 300 for a set of 4. Should i just look into different tires.

 

yo i just bought an 01 cl type s (red) wut color wheels should i get thinkin about either black with crome lip or white

 

2

 

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.

That is a GREAT tire. I'd go with option #1.

 

I have changed my mind already. I am either gonna get the ron jon Inspyre in 18 x7.5 in silver for 500 a set or http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

my tire choice is gonna be http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes cant go wrong for 89$ a tire.

 

hey, if you are at all interested in these, i have a set http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

Almost new, I decided to not run such a wide tire on my 18x7 wheels. email me: zacfortuna@gmail.com if your interested.

 

I already ordered tires yesterday. I got http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes just need to finalize my wheel decision between ron jons inspyre or enkei ekm3's. Im thinking the ron jons for the price plus id rather pay a acurazine vendor.

 

Number 2, and HOLY SHIT THOSE ARE GOOD PRICES

 

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.

 

yes they are thats why i was very tempted. I just dont know if i can spend that much on wheels right now since im buying performance parts.

 

I think i wld prefer to avoid rolling the fenders, in that case which ones would be best.

 

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

 

thats what i was thinking, just not sure why tirerack has the 38mm offset only listed for our car.

 

They are off by a good amount. Stock is +55

 

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.

 

He already ordered the 235s

 

They will still fit (thats what Im running on my Legends).

Once that set is worn, he can run wider.

 

Pretty much made up my mind to get the enkei ekm3 in 18x8 40mm offset in silver. Unless someone convinces me otherwise.

 

Yay!

Dooooo eeeet!

 

Just gotta wait till Friday to make the purchase. vividracing is doing free shipping on black friday.
