Guys that are running 17x9 +35, dont you find the steering behaviour a bit off?

Nope, not sure what u mean by that ?

[Mikeyy168]

did you change the height of your car when you put in your new wheels?

[SHRUKA]

Oh I forgot to mention the height changes.
Lowering pass one inch will affect the steering in every way but it's hard to keep a nice looking EP3 if you don't lower it pass that point.
Also running offsets below stock "+45" will increase scrub radius. This causes movement in the suspensions.

What do you suggest? Run a higher profile tyre to fill in the gap? or just deal with the lowering effects?

[Mikeyy168]

So you lowered more than 1"?
You have what they call bump steer. Get roll centre adjusters and you'll find that it works wonders. I drove my car lowered for a few months. Shit scary going next to a truck. Put on the roll centre adjusters yesterday and its perfect again

For very odd reasons, 17x9 +35 at the fronts causes harsh bump steer even with RCA's. When I changed to my stockies 17x7 +45, it actually made a huge difference with very slight bump steer.

I swear its the offset or I just need more camber? Definitely dont want to raise my car any higher.

I don't think adding camber is going to fix your problem.

[SHRUKA]

Me neither. Then its gotta be offset.... Lower offset = more scrub radius

I should stop being lazy and update my wheel alignment specs on my thread lolol

I'm running 17x9+30 square with a 215/45 on virgin guards but I'm probably not near as low as you are.
I've got at least a 2 finger gaps front and rear - I'd say I'm close to stock height..

[Mikeyy168]

I'm lowered to max low hehe
Gonna get new wheels soon
17x8.5 +40 with 235/45/17 Tyres all round

What supporting mods have you put into getting hehe low?
Initially I was going to run ep3 wheels on hehehe low but I love my wheels, just need to put more work into it.

[Mikeyy168]

Lol max low on my coils.. Unless I take out some locking rings...
