Thinking of getting these, but dont want to roll the arches.....

car is lowered 20mm and has adjustable rear camber arms on too.

Guessing the stock tyres wont fit ???

thanks

I dont believe the EP3 is 4 a stud fitment so the wheels won't fit.

Ed is right. The EP is 5x114.3 fitment. Also, with being lowered and trying to run 8.5's, you're gonna have to roll the arches or go for some serious camber as they're gonna scrub like a bitch. You could run added camber and some mad stretch, but you'll run a higher risk of popping the bead off the rim.

Thanks guys....next set of wheels then....would 8J be ok without rolling arches ?

Can i keep the 205/45/17 tyres ?

If it were me, I'd go 8" with 195/45/17. They'll fit under the arches with no scrubbing and the stretch won't look silly. I've got 8" on my MX5 drifter with 195/50/15 and they sit perfect even though I'm sitting on the floor practically.

You will be fine with 8j's mate! 215-45-17 will also be ok without rolling your arches at 20mm..

Decided to Sell my Rota GTR's as now have GT3 17X7.5 with 215/40 17......

ended up with sticking to 7.5J....

Just put 8j evo wheels on mine on 215 45 17 tyres and the driver's side seems to be catching - with slightly rolled arches? (eibach springs too)
