ive searched but didnt really come up with anything i was looking for. i was wondering what i needed to have a low offset ride. do i need a camber kit? coil overs? any information you have would help,thanks

 

stock is 45mm.....you want low offset wheels you will rub the heck out of the rear unless you get a camber kit and lean those wheels over....car will handle like crap but I am sure that does not mater to a form over function person.....

 

You do not "need" any of the above but take it from someone who has been there... you will want it all, and I recommend having it.

Coilovers for dampening and ride height adjustments, camber kit for well... dialing in camber, because more than likely you will need negative camber.

Running low offset wheels is way more involved than just bolting up a set. What wheels did you have in mind... Sportmaxes??? O_o

 

honestly i haven't gave wheels much of a thought. does it really matter what wheels your running? what setup did you have(wheels,coil overs, camber kit etc)? im pretty new to this offset thing so if you could "dumb" it down just a tad that would really help ha

 

Why don't you PM with whatever questions you may have, cool?

Side Note: I might get a wheel information thread goin'. That way people can have a quick guide of things to consider if they don't have much experience in that area.

 

PM sent

 

that would be greatly appreciated.

 

I think that more information would be needed in every case including how low, width of tire, offset, size wheel etc. I know people that have done well with just coilovers and no need for fender rolling or anything. messing with the height a little and a stiff enough setting and you could probably pull it off.

i need more education..only so much u can get from searching u know

 

I'm sure most of those people that barely make any adjustments are even running that wide or low of an offset wheel then. On an EP3, you can fit 15x8 +25 wheels with 19/50 tires perfectly flush and not have any rubbing. That, compared to stock (15x6.5 +45), gives you about 40mm of room to work with from face of the wheel to the inside of the fender well if that makes sense. In that 40mm, you need account for wheel offset and the width of the wheel.

I will try and get something together today that will have some general info.

 

You will need coilovers, a rear camber kit (at least), no fender-liner (not required), and rolled fenders. Installing all of that is the easy part. Get a nice set of wheels. NOT sportmaxxs like epjosh said. Slap them on. Drop it the height that looks good with the wheels, then dial in the camber and makemmmmm fit. (hard part :/)

 

BTW, I said Sportmaxes because that's the most common thing people think of when they want to dip into low offseet. Hell, I even had them a while back But yes, a nic set of wheels really sets it all off!! BTW, I love your Equips

 

haha yea no sportwacks!!! LOL im gunna go for the Hellaflush look as soon as i get money for coils and rims!!!
