Hey yall, I don't have an EP yet but hope to own one in the near future. I have a few questions and hopefully you guys can help out. Well I'm planing on buying some Volk rims for pretty cheap and i was planing to go w/ 16's (for price and performance reasons). My q's are:

1) Will they look too small on the EP, and if anyone has pics of EP's w/ 16's please post 'em.

2) What is the stock rim's bolt patern and offset?

3) What is the best series tires I should get w/ the 16's. I was leaning more towards 205/55/16, since in kinda like my tires beefy looking.:D Any suggestions?

Lastly I'm not planing to lower my car (Dad is a Honda mechanic, and highly frowns upon it:rolleyes: ) Thanks yall.

I know the answer to one thing, the bolt pattern is 4x100. Do a search for pics and other info...that should answer most of the other questions.

Here's an EP with 16"s (http://www.geocities.com/dmeriel/2002si.html )

and here's the thread it came from (http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1332) There's some discussion about tire size too. Hope that helps.

the 205-50-16 has a nearly identical rolling diameter, but if you want a "beefier" tire I would go with a 215-50-16. It will not only handle better than a 205-55-16, but be closer to the stock wheel diameter.
