Hey Baby Face,

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at 245/40/17 as I was trying to keep a similar rolling diameter to reduce the impact on the speedo reading, I originally had a quick look around the net to get an idea of costs.

Your comment about the 235/45/17 being considerable cheaper is very true following further research, I feel for that sort of difference it is worth the -1.77% in accuracy. It also looks like I will need a minimum 8 inch rim to get away with these as well.

After fitting BC BR type coilover and reducing the ride height modestly I now have the desired -2 degrees in the rear according to my last wheel alignment. The front end is still sitting at 0 degrees. Might look at this in the future.

So my next question to all of you out there is, will I get away with fitting 17x8 rims on the CL9 euro with a +43 to +45 offset? is anyway running this at present?

My reasoning behind the +43 to +45 is, the stock rims are +55 and legally I can get away with a change in wheel track no greater then 12.5mm, which gives me +43. That said I am not sure what the chances are of ever being pulled up on this.
