Will these 19" Varrstoen fit my 03 CL?

Hi all. Im still pretty new to the CL world. Came from a Subaru WRX. I am about to pull the trigger on the rims below and was wondering if they will fit my CL without any issues. Right now my car is sitting on on stock suspension, but that will be changed over the next few months to some sort of coilovers. If I do need to mod my fenders, please let me know what needs to be done to have them work. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Those Are Very Aggressive For This Car. You'd Have To Run Stretched Tires, Camber, And Roll And Maybe Pull The Fenders. Stock Rims Are 17X7 55 Offset Fyi.

They would fit if your planning on getting a lift-kit. lol Nice wheels but if you want the lowered look they wont do. They are going to stick out tooooo far. I have 08 TLS wheels and they are ALMOST even with my fenders, and they are 17x8+45

Ok. Glad I came here for advice first. Would it be safe to say going 8.5" wide would be ok without any fender modification?

Not necessarily At All. The TL Rims Mentioned Above Might require A Fender Roll. Those Are 8 WiDe And 45 Offset

That would require alot of work and try still might not. Typically the lowest offset I see is in the 20'S and they required alot of work. Also look at that fiend on that car especially since it comes with a lower offset then are cars. He obviously had to roll the fenders and look at how much camber he's running

Thanks for everyone's input.

I don't mind rolling my fenders. I just don't want to go as far as having to pull them and running camber kits. I guess ill stick to 8-8.5" wide
