I want to put these wheels on my Acura CL (similar to 5th Gen Accord)



their specs are 16x8 +20 offset. would these wheels work or would they cause problems for me? im thinking with such a low offset, it would be different from our high offset wheels, but since its low, it should be able to clear the suspension. But i have heard stories and now im just undecided.

 

If they have a +20 offset chances are they wont cuz i have a 94 accord and the wheels i have are at a +42 offset and they are damn close to hitting the caliper. less then a 1/4 of an inch. And is your car lowered also and how much

 

its lowered on eibach sportlines, but i plan on raising back to stock before i add the wheels

 

Yes it will clear the suspension, but it might not clear the fender. Your gonna have to roll the rear fender lip. +20 are pretty easy to work with, minor fender tweak with a slight tire stretch, something like 205 50's. I'm thinking of getting these for my dailys on my CD7.

 

what about the brake calipers?

 

Wait, aren't CL's 5 lug? Or are you using that picture as a reference?

 

Well, I based this decision off of of a rim that's 8.5 in width +35.
So with the width being 8 +20, your going to have a difference of 0.8 of an inch. If it does hit the calipers, a simple 5mm space will give you some clearance possibly.

 

97-99 CL's are 4 lug.
ah okay. thanks

 

probably have fender rubbing
