I came across a great deal for a 2002 EP3 DD that I could'nt refuse.

Where I live we have a winter tire law and I was wondering if anyone here had tried fitting 14'' rims on an EP3 ?

I already have my 195/70R14 winter tires fitted on good rust free hub centric honda steelies that hold air and are vibration free so you can see why I want to keep the same rims.


*PS For all you clowns or internet savants, don't rely on my post count as a waver to post your ignorant comment or advice, thank you.


***EDIT***

If one is wondering why I just don't go outside and see if it'll fit... The reason is that I'm taking delivery of said car tomorrow morning and I don't want to waste my afternoon on taking all the tools out with the jack only to find out it doesn't fit. If someone can save me the trouble, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

What is the offset of the 14" wheel?

 

The offset is +45.

I also have some VW steelies with a lower offset (+30 or +28) if those rub on the caliper.

Anyway, I'm about 12hrs away from having it in my driveway, so I'll guess I'll have to anwser this one myself

I've had HX's before for winter and they hit the calipers in the front I had to use wheel spacers to get the to work, but you only need like 5mm of space with those but I'm not sure what the offset is on those. I hope that helps, good luck.

 

i run 14"s all the time... especially with them fat tires....


also, makes the EP feel faster... lol

 

Hey post some pics up... Nice another Canadian EP3er lol... will have to meet up one of these days... I go to Ottawa every now and then...

 

Mine is black also...

As soon as it's stops raining, I'll take a couple of pics with winter set-up.
