XXR Super Stretch On CLS-6

I found 4 XXR super stretch 18x9.75 last night for 300 with good tires. A guy with a wrx had em and got 2 cosmetic bends on the front lip. He says they hold air and dont shimmy he was still running em. Do u think if I ran ARP studs and spacers i could run em at stock height with little to no rub?? Im new to Acurazine btw.

I'm gonna assume the wheels are 5x100 so you wanna run a spacer / adapter so that you can bolt them up to your car. In that care you're gonna have serious poke (paddi-flush , Mexi-flush) whiich will look terrible imo .

If the wheels are 5x114 and are gonna fit , I'd say you still might have a chance of rubbing but I'm not too sure on that . If you ever go low you will most definately need a camber kit and stupid amout of stretching to fit the front in there. a 9" is huge up front on our cars.

So question for you
Do you know the bolt pattern ?
Do you know the offesets of all 4 ?

This link is for a thread with 9" wide rims up front look at his pics ... (its a tl doesnt matter same thing)

Thank you, 5X114 They have both patterns, I beleave this wheel always comes +20 offset. i figured spacers would be needed. If u think it will look like shit i will pass, but the price is so cheap, I had considered getting them and keeping 2 for backs and all tires and sellin other 2 and getting skinnier for fronts.

Why Would You Run Spacers? They're Already 9.75 Wide! Running A spacer Will Make Then Stick Out Even More. I Would Pass.

i figured being that wide, the back of the rim/ tire would rub the strut. i guess i will pass, i just couldnt get over that deal

I'd pass too. 9.75 width and +20 offset? Major poke. And it will no look that good at stock height.
