9j22 will fit an ep3r but i believe the you cant go any bigger than a 225/45/17 tyre unless you want to run camber -4 or more. I think with the wheel specs above and a 225/45.. u will need -2.5 to -3 in addition to rolleed guards

Ah dayum okay, I dont want to run alot of camber maybe -1 to -2 max. Would it be better to go to 17x8.5?

Cheers guys!

I've decided to go with a 17x9 +22 Fronts and 17x8.5 +30 rears for the concave up front! The BYP sponsored EP3 helped me finalise my decision

Thanks again to everybody who posted!

May I ask why didn't you just run 17x9 +22 all round? Just curious?

Hope you're prepared to run negative camber, stretched tyres and also rolling your guards!

Read that the front have much more clearance room than the rears and also I didnt want too much poke on the rears. Would it be better to run 17x9 +22 all round?

Haha Ill try and fiddle around with the settings and see how I go. Regarding the tyres, what tyre size are we talking about? 215/45s? I was hoping for a 225-235/40 fronts and 215/45 rears

Depends on how much camber you run. If you only want -2 degrees then I doubt you'd be able to get 235 without scrubbing. You'll defintiely need to roll the guards though. Also depends on how low your car is.

Oh okay, with -2 degrees and lowered to ~110mm off the ground(just above minimum legal height) will it fit a 225 easily? I dont want TOO much tyre stretch. Yeah I will definitely be rolling the guards

Should be able to get away with it. Might have to trim the plastic fender lining though.
