My 19s are raggedy and I need to get rid of them, will these fit on my CLS?

SSR Competitions in 18x7.5 +42, 5x114.3 lug, Anthracite. Pirelli PZERO NERO 225/40/18 92Y Max Summer Performance Tires.

I'm only worried about the +42 offset. I didnt remember if we could go that low. I have about a 3" drop.

this guy is selling them


Thanks!

I have no idea if they will fit or not but they would deffinately look sick if they did! With a 3" drop and a 42 offset, I'd bet you're pushing it but I don't really know.

yes they will fit. everyone on this forum with 18" RH Evo wheels has an offset of +42. I had 'em, and a few others are still rolling on them. Only thing is, you might have to roll your rear fender if it isn't rolled already.

Time For Sleeep

Roll your fenders if you get these.

I'm currently tackling rubbing issues w/ these (on a Tein drop), and the drop is pretty modest.

I'm in the process of getting the fenders rolled, and possibly running just a little bit of negative camber (max -1.5) to tuck into the wheel a bit better...

Edit: Someone also suggested to me that 215/40/18 tires will avoid rubbing. Can anyone call out on this?

Tim, 215 will barely cover the wheel. stay with 225. Just roll your fenders you pussy.

LOL, yea you will definitely rub.. I did with +42 offset..

Tim get your fenders rolled with me when I get my wheels then, maybe we can get a discount.

What happened to your rims man? Those were HOT

Its just one bad apple that needs repair. Its been repaired so many times that the repair shops are telling me that it has been cut too thin to be repaired. But all of them have scuff marks.

I really don't feel like waiting another 2-4 months for one expensive ass rim, so I'm just looking for a quick fix.

mantis23

ohh well, he already sold them.

Back to the drawing board.

THE WHEELS SHOULD FIT FINE.. becaus of the width of the rim 7.5 the offset changes what i mean is with skinnyer rim you dont need that high offset. if it was an 8.0 or 8.5 rim probobly need to roll fender but i think you should be fine.

Do yourself a favor and go with a +48 offset w/ a 7 1/2" wheel, better go higher with an 8" wheel.

DL type-S

you could just get some wheel spacers.. no?

Viscous

No he can't. Wheel spacers will make the offset even lower (making the wheels stick out more). Something like a small 5mm spacer will make his offset +37mm, and that will make his wheels stick even further outwards and would definitely rub. 48mm-55mm would be more ideal for his wheels. You generally only add wheel spacers to clear big brake calipers or if want that widebody look.

Spacers will just make it worse, unless you're going for that ghetto look where your wheels pop out a couple inches.
