[CONAN]

[Philip Lee]

yeah meet is good, cruise is harder for me tho.

maybe we have a quick meetup first and organise something bigger later.

Pulled the frontbar out & screwed it back on tightly. So it looks ok from faraway but yeah theres alot of hairline cracks now. Hopefully it will hold up until I replace it. I have an excuse to get the aero kit now & my friend will be paying half of it.

so BNE people. which day of the week is suitable?? weeknights/weekends??

btw i spotted you "racing" along Mains Road around 2:30 pm yesterday haha. i followed you from Plaza until Helensvale rd). love your cannon but i'd ditch the rear no. plate bracket thingy. (ps. i wasn't in the Civic so u wouldn't have recognise me)

Was i racing lol? I tend to speed alot in slow traffic. As for the meet, Thursday & Friday nights are ok for me.

[Philip Lee]

no you weren't actually speeding or anything. just a term hence the "" hehe

just use some tapes on the bar if needed and tell ppl they're battle scar haha

Size:
16x7 pcd 4x114.3 offset +40

Will they fit on EP3 R?? Any pro's and con's to down size from 17's to 16's??

and is it Legal??

[Philip Lee]

no it wont becos it's only 4 studs (ie 4 x 114.3). u need 5 x 114.3

7 inch wide with +40 offset should fit. i'm not 100% sure 16s will clear the brakes tho.

i guess as long as the rolling diameter is close to stock then it should be ok. you will need to choose higher profile tyres. maybe 205/50/16.

opps didnt see know is 4 x 114.3 i was talking about yeh i mean 5 x 114.3!

Just a question would you go 16's on your EP3?

thanx for the reply.

[Mugen_B16B]

I wouldn't go down from the suggested size from the factory.

[SuperSteve]

yeah i reckon 17 is perfect for car. Car already has traction problems with 17's aswell wouldnt it b worse with smaller wheels ??

[Philip Lee]

i personally wouldn't go lower than 17s.

16s will clear the brakes on EP3s, they are the same as AUDM DC5R brakes. 205/55 16 tyre will work, a 205/50 might not have the required load rating for the EP3.

The main disadvantage in 16s is the lack of good wide street tyre available in that diameter.
