FD/FN2/EP3 Wheel Setup Guide

[lolmclol]

Quick question guys.

Will 235/45/17 fit on stock EP3 wheels 17x7+45. Have an opportunity to buy a 2nd hand set for decent price. But after doing some research they may be too wide for stock wheels.
Anyone have any experience with this size on a 17x7 wheel?

To be honest, I don't know how it will look but the issue I can see is you'll have more tread which will increase the amount of resistance when you're driving thus using more fuel and maybe throwing off the speedo?

I'm probably wrong, but I'm pretty sure that is right.

FYI: The stock tyres are 205/45/17.

I wouldn't run a 235/45. The tyre will be extremely tall. The tyre would also balloon on the rim lol.

No. The tyre does not suit the rim.

its possible to get a 255 tyre on a 8" rim, but it's not ideal... plus you would have a lot of scrubbing issues with with such a meaty tyre

Tyre sizes sound fine.

Depending on which wheels you run at the rear, you may/may not have enough inner clearence to the rear trailing arm. (I'm not 100% at stock height)

Fully lowered, I've previously run a 16x8.5 +37, which was undriveable as it rubbed against the trailing arm. With a 5mm or 3mm (can't remember which one off the top of my head) slip on spacer is just cleared but scrubbed under very hard cornering.

Previous to that I ran 16x8 +38 in the rear, which just scrubbed against the trailing arm under heavy cornering. Wasn't even enough that I noticed it on the day.

Found another wheel/tyre fitment calculator, this one also allows you to enter your camber settings and it gives you a diagram of it too!

Would 17 x 7 +24 on ep3 fit. Car is lowered with no gap. Currently have guards rolled and have 17 x 8 +35 and they fit no issues but concerned 17x7 +24 is too aggressive..
Here's how it currently looks
