New wheels for my ep3.

[jasonatk89]

Hi guys.
This thread as probably been over discussed a million times but.. hey oh.
I'm basically looking to replace my standard ep3 wheels for something new.
My car isnt lowered as of yet but i do plan on doing so in the future on eibach springs.
The wheels im looking at are rota titans fitment 17×8.0", 5×114.3, ET 42 and the other set is XXR's527 17x8.25", 5x100/114.3, ET25. The question im looking for is are these the right fitment for my car and would i have to roll the arches?, buy spacers or longer lug nuts?.. this is my first time buying aftermarket wheels so i have no clue! I'm hoping to save money by re-using my tyres which are 205/45/17 would they also be fine to use or would i be looking at buying new?. Cheers all

You have studs on a CTR but they would fit aftermarket wheels when used without spacers no problem. You do need conical nuts though for aftermarket wheels, and OEM wheels use ball shaped nuts.

OEM alloys are 17x7J ET +45, 5x114.3 centre bore 64.1 (can't go smaller but use spigots if bigger).

Use this site to see how they would sit: http://www.willtheyfit.com/

and yes, asked a thousand times! :lol:
