Hi guys, I need some advice on winter wheels for my EP3.
I live in Aviemore, around some of the heaviest snow and worst roads in winter. My drive to work is 36 miles on a road notorious for snow, I'll be driving at very unsociable hours, where rescue is hours away. I have a lot of experience driving in the snow, though not in my type-r.
The one thing that my experience of snow driving has taught me is that the thinner your tyres are, the better the car handles. So I've been wondering about buying a set of winter wheels and tyres, as the oems are pretty wide. I don't know much about what wheels sizes will fit this car, so I could use some help.
Will 15s or 16s fit around the brakes?
What is the narrowest wheel size and offset you think/know will fit an EP3?
Does anybody have experience driving a type-r in proper snow conditions? (not the 2cm of slush that makes all the Englishers crash)
Cheers guys.
