What about 18x8 +38mm offset??
I recently saw a nice set of mags and they where 18x8 with +38mm offset, i know the general rule but anybody think they would fit my 2000 3.2TL?? I would like some feedback. Thanks

They dont fit snugly put it that way. they'll fit but you'll rub like a motha if you put anyone in the back and you can put a significant drop on it without rubbing and I think the CL can go just a tad bit wider than the TL for some strange reason.
He's on skunk 2 coilovers and rubs like a mofo

Mine are 18x7.5 +38 225/40/18 and i barely ever rub in the back. I cut tabs and rolled fenders and my car is slammed. The only time it rubs is in the back when I hit a big bump or if I have 2 or more ppl in the car and I'm pulling up at a slant.
Don't be scared/worried like most people here. You could do it but it will take a little more work to make it happen.

Guess again!
Oh and its not a matter of being in your comfort zone, its a matter of what fits. Some dont want to have rubberbands wrapped on their rims, some dont want or like the stretched look, not every one wants to run negative camber, and others dont want to trim or roll any thing.
I can from personal experience tell you that a 18x8 +38 will not fit on my car. No amount of rolling fenders will help it either.

Like I said , my wheels are 18x7.5 +38 which is half an inch wider than those rims you mentioned, and guess what... they fit lol. With 225/40 tires and some rolling/cutting, they fit just fine.

i dont think dealing with rolling and cutting is any trouble to get the perfect flush look on your car.
any less than flush is... =/
btw tampa. thats really nice fitment. but too bad its not a little wider. waht wheels do you have?
