No worries, Perry. I tried to fit a 17x9 +48 wheel with a 5mm slip on spacer and it still didn't sit properly and was still fouling on the coilover. :p

do you guys usually use 5th and 6th for streets and main streets with and avg speed limit of 60-70kph? or do you stay in 4th unless you get on freeways/go above 80kph?

and does exhaust drone/fuel consumption factor in your decision?

I usually cruise in 6th when going 60km/h unless i know i need to speed up to 80km/h+ then I stay in 5th; I also take most turns in 3rd gear since my 2nd gear is pretty weak. I just keep my revs above 2k in general. Don't really have much droning whilst cruising, tho i do like to hear my exhaust sometimes.

Actually , it depends if it's PLUS or MINUS I front of the mm number measurement !

Picked up some Weds Sport SA90's today for dirt cheap and have now got them on the ep3! 17 x 8, +35 offset. With my current height, there's some scrub on the rears when turning sharp or bumps in the road but not too bad with one person in the car
