17x9 +22 or 17x9 +35 CE28N?

Hi Guys,

Looking to purchase a set of CE28N for my EP3R, was wondering if a 17x9 +22 all round or a 17x9 +35 all round will fit nicely?
I have seen RPF1 in 17x9 +22 fit an EP3 but i am not sure if the CE28N will

And also if they will clear Project Mu 4 Pot calipers?

Sorry for the nooby question!

Cheers

Was looking through that thread too and found this post by RPS.13 regarding 17x9 +38 fronts an 17x8 +32 rears. Hope it helps!

"Fronts you could probably get away with 235/45 or maybe even 245/40, depending on how much camber your at. Rears maybe 225/45 or 215/45 if the 225's are pushing it a bit. I was able to just tuck in 225/45 Advan A048, 17x7.5 +32's on the rear, with about -1.0 camber on the rear. Probably had maybe 3mm clearence to the guard lip inder full compression, maybe a few mm more.

The fronts you'll most likely have an issue with scrubbing at full lock. I had very light rubbing when I ran 245/40 A048's, 17x8 +38 on the fronts. It was only apparent when parking. On the track it was fine. The tyres tucked in fine at around -2.38 camber."

x9 +22 will clear it fine. Not sure if +35 will though.

Cool! Cheers Perry! How do you reckon a 17x9.5 +35 will fit at the front?

my bad, 9+22 will clear, but JUST clears, bit too close for my comfort though, even on evo brembos

I see alot of fail in this thread... ep3 dont run evo brembo so why is there conparison between 9j22 clearing evo brembo and ab ep3r.. there is no correlation.

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.

The only reason I mention it is because abnormal tyre wear you could rotate wheels front to back etc than again your planning on running different tyres front and back than it doesn't matter. I'm not a wheel expect others could add to my comment going 17x8.5 oppose to 9" there isnt much of a difference u will still need to play with camber and stretch tyres at the end of the day. And also resale value.

Thanks for all your help Perry!
