yeah thats what i thought?

They will actually get more traction.....on the track as they will essentially heat up quicker as less circumference area, although still same surface area gripping the road (unless vtecin').

"Traction" is usually down to the type of tyre. It really has no relevance when it comes to wheel size as such, just which type or tyre and wheel to suit your application.....eg, drags, track, rally etc.....

Obviously wider the better, no one will argue with that. Just comparing for CTR and ITR, 205/45/17 and 205/55/16....no right biggy there.

Realistically, for looks, you'd go 18's. But I like my OEM/USDM look and prefer smaller wheels. Thats just me!

damn 13.6sec plz share us yours SPEC on the EP3 plz

walau sorry to cause an argument lolol yeah i saw the one on CLUBITR not a fan of it black ive already had my black rolla im looking at white now has to be white lolol i think ill just get them and throw them on see how it is i think im more concerned about how it will look more then performance wise it will be roughly the same if not better like the other guys say its about the width of the tire and the actual tread of the tire and how well it grips thanks for the comments guys will keep you posted ;)

I have 3" from header back with 3" cat. So loud....even with centre muffler and rear muffler. I have now taken out the centre muffler and using the stock muffler to kill the noise. Have seperate staight through for drags.

Honestly guys, unless you're gonna do cams, itb's etc.....dont bother, 2.5 is more than enough and 10x's quiter.

Yes a 3" cat would do. But i'd save my money for a kpro of intake if i were you. Realistically there is nothing to be gained from changing the cat unless your making the power.

So on the rule of kw per $......save you money!
