FD/FN2/EP3 Wheel Setup Guide

rolling the fenders should help a little. are u gonna plan to lower ur car? if so, then the natural negative camber may also help.

On my FD

I'm running 17x8 +30 205/45R17 with 20mm spacers on front, on coils and have only a little scrubbing with guards half rolled. I could roll them completely flat and flush, but i'm already cracking paint so that can wait.

I'm running the 17x8 +30 215/45R17 on the back, rolled as much as I could, only scrub on the back bumper screw when there's more than 2 in the car.

Car Model: FD1
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: 17 x 9 + 38 , 225/45/17
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: 17 x 9 + 38 , 225/45/17
Suspension: coils
Guard Modifications: guards all rolled
Issues with Setup: fat tyres scrubs on the rear screw like no tomorrow when there are people in the car. Offset is too high, too close to the strut and has created a hole in the fuel line plastic cover.......

yeah, my plastic cover has a big hole in it too.

Can I run 17x8 +35 rear and 17x9 +38 front on stock suspension without looking like a dummy?

Its going to look funny and it'll scrub because your suspension is soft and you got no camber xeno. Dont think it's a good idea

buy some coils first.

Alright thanks guys. I might just scrap the idea of wheels altogether and put my money towards more performance mods

Just wondering where I can purchase AKOM inverted tie rods/ends. will the dc5 ones fit ep3 with tein monoflexes your help will be much appreciated :)

hi,
i would like to know 18x8.5+35 on 225/40 or 215/40 fit our FD?? lowered on tanabe nf kit coilover, [f] +01mm ~ -50mm / 5k, [r] -33mm ~ -61mm / 4k.
BTW, i want to avoid any guard modifications, pls confirm.

Not possible mate. You need to roll the guards and save the rear tabs

Thx mate, possible to overcome with higher offset? or is it too wide(wt if 18x8 on 215/40 or 205/40)? wont lower too much, current @ -35 mm front and back. Welcome any input. Thanks.
