These will fit but they will poke out a bit. I have 19 x 8.5 and +45 offset and I had to run -.5 camber in the front and -2.00 in the rear to set flush. There are people who have run +35 but just be prepared because you will probably either have to run more camber to make them set flush = more tire wear. 19's aren't cheap either.

if anything the offset would be the problem not the camber i thought...i thought the offset was too low so i would maybe have to roll fenders. but i don't think camber would be a problem because that has to deal with the angle of the wheels with the ground and the tire wears unevenly so you get a camber kit am i wrong?

yes get a camber kit and have it set to zero on the front and then check the back as well usually the factory likes a little positive camber in the rear for when people or cargo are in the back and it lowers the rear of the car so with a postive camber setting it goes to zero when loaded. i would say like a 1/2 degree postive maybe a little more on the rear I would have to check the factory specs for an exact amount. But two degrees is crazy and is burning up the edge of the tire badly too.

7" rim = +42 offset
7.5" rim = +45 offset
8" rim = +48 offset

can't help you with the 2nd part...

but browse the forums and other ones for use wheels that are mint.

so by those guidelines, doesn't that mean that 7.5" rim would not fit with +42 offset because it has to be +45 or more for a 7.5" rim?

Hey, I'm new to Acurazine and wanted to know if anyone can help me find some stock rims for my 2002 TL-S. Would CL-S rims fit the same? Otherwise, if anyone has any idea on where to get ACU-TRU refinished wheels for cheap, thanks.
wrong section. go to Off Topic and scroll down to Private Sales/Trades under the Black Market.

Or you can get OEM wheels at www.finishlinewheels.com. and i believe CL-S rims will fit the same.
