Rim/Tyre size for CL9 Euro

[Ghaal]

Hi Guys,

Pretty new to the whole JDM scene (came from a 400+RWKW XR8 Falcon :p), just wondering what size rims/tyres I can run on my 04 CL9 Euro Luxury? Currently have 18"s, and it is slightly lowered but not sure how much (was done by previous owner). I'm hoping to go to 19"s, I'm willing to negative camber the rears a bit to fit them but don't want to do too much guard work yet as funds are quite there :(

Currently have my eye on a set of 19x8.5 Vertini Hennessey's:

Thanks for your help :)

you be fine with 19x8.5 but depends how low the car and the offset..you might need to roll guards..

What do you think would be the maximum offset I could get away with before I'd have to roll the guards?? I'm guessing its lowered maybe 10-20mm max, have to go pretty slow/slight angle over speed bumps haha

Edit: Just ran out in the rain and measured, I have about 2cm (rear) and 4cm (front) clearance from the top of my current tyres (225/40R18) to my guards. Might have to stick with 18"s?? Or if i go 19"s how much camber will I need to clear?
