Will these Work Emotion CR Kai's fit?

Hey guys,

I have been doing some research on these CR Kai's and want everyone's opinions before I go through with this.

I want to install these on my 08 TL Type S and need to see if these also clear the brembo's before I waste a trip out there.

Here are the specs:

Size is 17x8 +42 offset Front - 17x9 +38 offset Rear
Same bolt pattern 5x114.3.

Tires are -
235/45 Front
255/40 Rear


I also know these are the stock wheel size but they are really nice and close by. Please let me know your thoughts guys!

Much appreciated.

itll fit.. but it wont look right imo.. tires will too tall + meaty. especially on 17s

I have the cr-kais in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 both +38 offset thats currently stored away. I Ran 225/40f and 235/40r when they were mounted on the car. Wheels will be kinda sunken in and will need another 10-15mm spacer to make them flush.

do you have any suspension mod's?

Save your money and get a set of 18's or 19's.

Twisdit - Suspension is stock, I am not really trying to lower the car because this is more a daily driver/work car. Just looking for something a little different to set it off.

I don't want to go that route and install spacers either.

Rossv1 - That is exactly what I am thinking 18s or 19s would be best. But again I also was looking at the Kiwami's which are practically the same. I figured this deal which might happen was worth it. They only have 1,500 miles on them and the tires are practically brand new also.

They will fit for sure.
your stock Type S are 17x8 +45 front and rear.
In my opinion you should get 18x8.5+ wheels or keep your Type S wheels man.
The Waffle style of the type S wheels make them look bigger
than they are. The CR Kai don't give the same illusion.

It doesn't matter what they price is; the money you spend on 17's would be better spent towards a set of nice 19's or even 18's.
