Sounds abit tight with that offset, might want to keep it at 45 if youre going 8 inch wide.

im planning on getting j attack ce28's

hey guys next on my list for mods is headers, which of the 2 do you think would suit with injen intake and fujitsubo rm01a cat back better???

Spoon or Toda?? or no difference

from what i understand if going 8" wide that +42 or +45 would be best offset like Nepolian said.

Why would you keep the wheel the same offset if you have wider wheels?

You want more agressive offset so the wider wheels sits out more to clear the strut housing.

I had +43 only with a 17x7.5 wheel and it would rub the inner chasis on full lock or hard cornering.

+35 is a good offset, Im running +28 and I think its too weak.

But remember the rear will scrub first before the front does.

So a staggered offset might be a good idea.

But also take into considering different rims and height of car affect the outcome.

Thanks Chi for the info, i think i will definitely get the +35 offset all round. I think that would be the best setup.

I am still looking for the lightweight rims though. I want to keep it under 7.5Kg each side which is not many available around

^ i have a set of rays se37 at 18 x 7.5 and they're around 7kg each (wheel only).

so i guess most quality forged wheels at similar size will be bang on target.

does anyone know how to remove the headlights for an 02' EP3?

If its like a DC5 you will have to remove your front bar to access the bolts underneath the headlight,
