17x8 ET25

Hi
Will a set of wheels 17x8 ET25 with a centre bore of 74.1 fit an ep3?
Any adaptors that can make them fit?
Guessing without rolling arches they wont fit?
 
ET25 will definitely need flaring on the arches, especially if you’re lowered at all. Probably going to need some heavy camber too to get them to fit right.
Standard offset for EP’s is around ET60 I think.

Damn thanks for shattering my dreams lol :(
Is that because of the low offset of et25 and not the width right?
I swear people have run 9J tyres on these?
Also, is there big diff in fitment between et25 and et35?
Can get the same wheels in ET35 too but theyre bit more expensive
 
Yeah it’s the offset that’ll cause the issues. It’s not un-doable, it’s just going to need work. You can run a 9” wide wheel, but with a lower offset, around an ET40(ish) but you need to ensure no scrubbing on the shocks. I swear EP3’s are probably the hardest car I’ve ever known for wheel fitment. They can take a wide wheel, but the arch lips are deep so always need rolling or simply chopping back.
I’m from the school of make the car fit the wheels luckily, so getting wide wheels to work has never bothered me. :lol:
