+42 offset

Will a +42 offset work (18x7.5 rim)(235-40-18 tire) if my TL is dropped about 1.25"?

Is anyone out there riding with a +42 offset on their car?

Im running a +42 offset set up. Im on a Comptech drop and I havent rubbed once even with 3 adults in the back. Im on a 19X8 wheel so u shouldnt rub either. But if u want to be safe go with a +45 offset

those wheel specs are on the low side although you are not that low, but i wouldn't do the 235s. 225s might work and tire design will play a role in this. CLs have larger weels so this would work for them.

SICK. Just roll that fender! I know a lot of people are against this but your wheels are going to be so flush!
