ive got 17x7's on my EG, they dont cause any problems that i cant live with. Without a camber kit im running 1.5 degrees neg on the back and 2 degrees neg on the front... that's as far as i can adjust it tho.. scrubs a little in the front, but as i said, i can live with that! :thumbsup:

Super lows ain't that low, you shouldn't have any problems with dat profile.

well i have 17x7's and if there is anybody in the passenger seat i cant turn all the way because it scrubs like crazy... sounds like its shredding my tyre :S
and it gets worse if anyones in the back...

I've got 17's on my civic. Had the rear guards rolled a bit so no problems now. It used to scrape a little bit but not anymore. Now I find the front ones scrape a little when going downhill and braking. No problems with full lock turns etc.

I had a Eg Sedan wid 17 x 7's ... they neva eva scrubbed. Reason being that i took dat black crap outta da inside of da tyres ... Da car was lowered hard 2 tho... Get adjustables .... so incase they touch you can raise it a bit ...

Now i got another EG sedan it scrapes at da back so im gon change to smaller rimz ... Thinkin of takin that black stuff out but want betta performance wid smaller rimz ...


Peace

i had 17x7 i think on my ek sedan. at first it only scrubed when there was a third person. light scrubbing on corners n stuff. then i got it lowered on king springs super lows..then it started srcubbing with just me in the car... so i took them out
but if what Fo55il said is true then i might think about taking the black crap out..
if not i got my eyes on volk reps those grey ones in 16"
i miss my rims =(
and i didnt know crap about cars until this year...give a shout out to ozhonda members, taught me heaps.. but i still got a lot to learn

or i can get sum copy's made by au racing i think it is called au 229 n they come in black n polished lip n shud b like 1800 with tyres n lowering i think... haha... but they dont look as good i guess
