Nothing. If anything, in the back, they'll rub the trailing arm. Then you'll need spacers. That's only for the back. I'll tell you now, I've never seen anything over 8in fit on an EP without spacers and rolled fenders.

Thanks for that, I have been thinking of getting front and rear fender rolled and some SPC camber kits for front and rear. How about getting something like 8 wide for the rear?

Wheels + Tires
Front: 17x9 +35 RPF1 with 245/40/17 Z1
Rear: 17x7.5 +48 RPF1 with 225/45/17 Z1
the fronts are easy, not the rears....get out there and pull a rear wheel and look for yourself........take a peace of string, tie something like a nut to it and tape the string to the rear fender....then run a tape mesure from the string to the lca about where tire will sit.....and remember you need some clearance here for the changing toe in the rear suspension through the corners.......

Not much bro.. roll your fenders a bit and call it a day unless you plan on using spacers.
