Question Those with 18" Wheels

What is the highest or lowest offset your running? I think I'm being led astray, these wheel suppliers said they put 18's on a TL with a 42 offset and they were fine. Is this a crock?

Listen... Before you start figuring out which rim's u want, i would recommend going into the kitchen, get two tylenol's and a glass of water, cuz you're gonna get a headache trying to figure it out. I went nuts for months, and still haven't seen the clear to my confusion..

Hey TL, did you have to roll the fenders and are you experiencing any rubbing. I'm nervous about rolling the fenders, but I do not want to spend $3200 on wheels and tires to get a desirable offset.

NSX is most definetly helping me out the info I got was from wheel warehouse. They said they try each wheel and tire combo on the vehicles. I will be putting the comptech suspension on and this will effect the outcome. I just want to be sure, big investment and I don't want to hurt my baby.

The front was no problem. But in the rear, I had to trim off some rubber pieces that were sticing out from the rear bumper. It took me about 5 minutes and no, I did not have to roll my fenders.
