Hi guy

My cl9 is currently stock

I have:
Front: 17" wheels 8" wide 35 offset
Rear: 17" wheels 9" wide 38 offset

What is the widest tyre I can fit with minimal camber and minimal guard work?
Also
When I lower my car with eibach spring later on down the track wouldn't that give me small camber automatically? Do I need a camber kit? Not really a fan of camber, I like good tyre life and even wear on my tyres and most grip.

Cheers thanks for the help guys

Tyres won't affect your camber. That's dependent on how much you've lowered your car. If you drop your car more than 1.5" at the rear, you'ld be wanting a camber kit. As for the tyre size, 8" = ~225, 9" = ~245 if you don't want stretch. You can go wider or thinner, up to you. The rear's I'm not too sure of though, for that size rim, but as long as the rim themselves are inside the guards, it's legal, tyres should affect it. Some people either prefer stretch or prefer to go a bit wider from rim protection.

ive spoken to a few people about offsets for the euro man
im going for 18 X 8.0 +35 they said thats the maximum
to go without having to roll ur guards and for the camber
it depends how low u want to go so better of getting ur rims
putting them on then work out how low you want it to be then
you will find out if you need to camber it or not hope this helps goodluck man!
