Default Widest rim that will fit on EP3 and DC5

Currently I am running 16x7.5 Mugen MF10's on my EP...Anyone here running 8 or 8.5 wide wheels?

I recently met and sat in the Signal EP and that was running 8.5 in the front and 9 wide wheels in the rear with the INGS +1 body kit...Trying to avoid doing fender work if possible

With the correct offset, an 8" wheel will fit easily both front and rear.

You really don't need wheels extremely wide unless you are trying to maximize tire contact patch with really wide tires. All wider wheels do on the street is add weight and price.

I have 8" wheels on my DC2R, but I need the contact patch for autox. My daily driver DC5 has 7.5" wheels on it, as that's really all I need. I tried the 8" wheels on my DC5 and they fit fine, however.
