I am posting some pics of my first 2001 CL-S to help people with wheel offset choices. I am all about the flush wheel look and obsess over this aspect probably more than anything else. The wheels on this CL were Gewalt EVO III_19.0 x 8.0_38mm offset. The rear fenders barely rubbed and slight roll took care of it. As you can see, this is almost the limit of 'flushness' without any modification really.

NOW, on my 2003 CLS-6, I am planning on running 19.0 x 8.5_45mm offset front & 19.0 x 8.5_35mm offset rear. Can anyone on this forum tell me if that rear wheel will fit with a fender roll and pull? I know the front will work all the way around and be okay, but I want my rears to be slightly more concave than my fronts. And for those who will say the car is FWD and shouldnt be playing up a more aggressive rear wheel, my answer is, it's all about physiology. The rear of a car is like its hind quarters. To look the most pleasing, the strength should appear to be greater on the hind quarters EVEN though we all know it is a FWD. Take a dog for example, if the front legs are beefier than the rears, it just looks odd. If they are balanced, that is fine too; I just prefer a slightly greater visual impact on the rear wheels.

So again, what does the group think about 19 x 8_35mm rear? Is it possible?

Will it fit~ Yes. Might need to run a little camber thou.

I got a 9" rear wheel with a 36 offset with no camber and about a 3mm poke so you should be fine..
