Pretty sure I tried on some wedsports that were that size and my car is 1.5 all around and i think it just rubbed.

Do you remember what tyre profile it had?

1.5 drop? -1.5 camber?

Can the guards be rolled so theres no rubbing or is this offset a no-go for track/spirited driving?

Will a DC5R mugen airbox fit a EP3R?

should be fine with a roll all round, 17x8.5 +30 is similar to both of these setups:

both running a 17x9 +35 all round, white ep is running 245/40/17's! the silver 235/45/17's...
the 17x8.5 +30 will retract by 1mm & have 11mm more inner clearance

i'll be running a 17x9 +30, once I get all my stuff on! got the tires all fitted up today, using my existing 215/45/17's though.

The front looks passable though the rear is pretty dodgy looking to me. I'm not one of those "MAD STANCE, FULLY SLAMMED KENTS"

It seems like +40 offset would be optimal if you want to run 8.5" but the rims I'm looking at are +30 so I don't have that flexibility..

(A previous EP3 owner had 17x8.5 +40 TE37s that cleared barely..)

I'll just see how big of a difference that extra 10mm spacing makes.. =\
