Whats the optimum offset for the new tl and cl

If you guys could choose your own offsets what offsets would you guys want on a 18*8 or 19*8 wheel?

Diameter doesn't matter but since they are both 8 inch width, DO NOT go below +50.

from reading all the posts, i think most rim owners that have 8" wide JAPANESE wheels have at least a +50mm offset. i think most would stick to 225/40s if they got 18s, but those that get 19s will more than likely get wider 235/35s. so maybe a couple of mills more would be best for 19s. plus a slightly higher offset than ideal would help when people install camber kits. you know there is a way to figure out the exact size, but you will need to have the car.

Alright I know 50 will fit , but 50 does not sit flush with the fender and will also not yield a bigger lip. If anyone with a tl or cl wants to get a set of intro wheels for promotional price if we can borrow your car for some fitment test, please email me at vwong@introforged.com
