Another rim/offset question?
Will an 18x8 with a +38 offset fit a TL-S without rubbing?

Those wheels will stick out of your fender and will start rubbing once you start to hit the gas.

If it's 5x114.3 with a +42 offset you might rub a little, but should be ok.

Stick with 225/40 series tires and it should work. You're gonna stay with Comptech springs, right?

Yeah, if I do decide to switch it'll be down the line to coilovers.

Thanks for your help!!

Yes, this will fit without rubbing. I have same setup and all you have to do is trim the little rubber piece in the wheel well.
