FD/FN2/EP3 Wheel Setup Guide

[ekay1]

Just get an offset between like 20-35 and your all good as long as its not wider than 9' and dont run chunky tyres

[black8thgen]

you'll need guards rolled though

Hi guys Im looking at having Mugen GP wheels for my EP3. Just some questions.
1.Will they fit the car?
2.If they fit I was thinking of running 17x8.5 with 48+
3.Can I run these with coilovers with no scrubbing?
4.Looks like the max I could run on these rims would be 215's?
Thanks

I'm running 17x8.5ET30 with 215/45R17 and Mugen Suspension without scrubbing but I have my rear guards rolled. You could probably get away with +48 offset but not sure.

Seems ok then, does the mugen susp have adjustable rates and camber? how do they feel?

[denrie]

Nah no damper, height or camber adjustments but it's good. Not to stiff and not to hard and lowers the car as well. I have mine for sale if interested.

Anyone see any issues with running the following sizes on a EP3? Apart from being slightly a smaller diameter and circumfrence than OEM specs.

Front: 225/45/16
Rear: 215/45/16

On 16 x 8 +38 all round

Suspension: Tein stech springs, hardrace camber arms

Issues with Setup: scrubs on hard bumps and turns. doubt i can have anyone in the back seat. looking to fix it hopefully with more guard work.

Got pics of the back man? You should reduce the spacer size at the back, and increase the tyre size, you're probably poking a bit, but due to the camber, getting a shit about of rubber on the ground.

I suggest (just a suggestion) reducing the spacer til the rim is flush and then opt for something like 215 or 225 at the back (just rotate from back to front)
