Agressive wheel fitment on ep3?? 2005 Civic Si
What is the most agressive wheel i can run on an ep3? with out doing to much to make them fit. was looking at some 18x8.5 +30 wheels with a 1 inch drop. dont mind rolling my fenders a tad bit but dont really want to have to change a bunch of stuff. would a wheel that wide hit the lower control arms?? reason i am looking at that size is because the wheels i like are the privat akzent wheels. which dont really come in that many sizes. wish i could find a wheel that looked like that just in a 17" diameter. hopefully you guys can help me out! thanks!!
PS. forgot to ask how low do you have to go to make 16x8 wheels look ice on the ep3?

That size wheel is going to come close to your rear trailing arm, but you may clear it.
As for fitting proper sized tires, you're a bit out of luck. There really isn't much in the way of safe tire sizing for that size wheel. You'll end up in the realm of stretched tires.

Re: Agressive wheel fitment on ep3?? 2005 Civic Si
Dam well im guessing that its mainly due to the width? How is it possible for rsxs to fit some pretty agressive wheels but ep3s cant? I assumed they were the same lol. I mean i wanted a bbs lm replica so i havnt been able to find anything in like a 17x8 size though. Maybe you or some one else might be able to point me in a good direction on where i can find some bbs lm reps? Thanks!!
