i wanna have some peace of mind about this

Haha fair enough. I'll fit my 17x9 +35 on the rears when I have time and let you know how they fit. But if they foul on the inside I don't think any amount of negative camber will help though.

cheers man, i know u ran 17x9 +20 but that 18mm more inner clearance than +38. seems there arent alot of ep3 that run aggressive set ups out there.

Hi Guys,

I've tried doing a search but its pretty complicated and cannot find what I'm trying to look for.

Anyway, I own an EP3 and i bought 4 new Enkei RPF1 17x8.5+30 rims but not sure which tyre size I should be going for?

Can any of you please give me an advise like tyre size and if it would hit the guard etc? The car is standard height.

Thanks!

215/45 for looks

Fattest tyre you can find for track

Can anyone help identify the cause of a scrubbing noise upfront. Running 17x8 et32 with about 1 finger gap. At first I thought it was the fender lining but further investigating ruled that out. Going straight it will scrub/ make a noise like a creaky door but its not constant, more like one creak per wheel revolution. At faster speeds it sounds like a knock. Only coming from left side and goes away when accelerating moderately or anything that makes Te car squat at the back or lean to the right. In fact I can feel each scrub through the footwell so unassuming something's scrubbing against the chassis for the vibrations to be felt. Not running any crazy camber and I've fit 9" wheels et38 upfront and this hasnt happened before.

Any answers are appreciated cheers

Hi guys. I am looking to purchase eneki rpf1 for my fd civic. they are 18 x 9 +35. Ive got stock suspension. will the wheels fit the car and what tyres should i use.. 225/40/18?? Thanksss

**JOhnnyFD** · 10-01-2013 12:31 PM

those specs will fit.. i had 18"rims with 225/40 tyres and dropped down by around 2cm and fit fine with no scrubs

Hi guys,

I just upgraded my wheels to 18X8.5+30 on the rear and +35 on front. My car is on stock height, and it seems to rub my guards when having passengers on the back and turning/going over humps. Would you rather recommended changing the rears to +35 or getting my guards rolled?

Also, what's the perfect tyre size recommended? Ozzy tyres gave me 215/35R18, which proves to be too small, but I really can't do anything now, beside buy new tyres...

Cheers.
