Hi guys,

Just want to ask for your opinion. Is it fine running on 18x8 ET 40 on an EP3? Which tyre size would you recommend? Do i need to lower the car?

EP3R:

17 x 8 +35 on 215/45/17 on stock shocks? Any chance or will I need to get something done?

Just hoping someone would help with some brainstorming

I have a set of 225/50/16 Dunlop Sport Maxx TT. My brother bought them and couldn't fit them.
For my ep3, I was wondering if its a good idea to find some 16" rims for it for track use.
How would 16" do for performance and/or looks?

I was thinking of getting some integra type r oem wheels dc2/dc5?

If its a good idea, what width rim and offset would fit no probs with stock ep3 suspension?

Cheers

Whats the most narrow tyre you could stretch nicely onto a 17x9.5? 215/45?

215 40 will go too. just depends on how still the tyre wall is. Some stretch well, some dont.

Was with a mate yeaterday who has 225/45 on a 10 wide, and I was previously running 205/45 on a 9.

fd with 17x9 +28 all round?

No such thing as camber bolts for the rear. You should be able to get away with natural camber. I'm 17x9+22 rear and its pretty much just natural camber, however my rear guards are a bit pumped.

Tyres will determine if your scrub at the front. 225's you should be able to get away with.
