^^ditto. if they offered 16's, these rims would already be ordered :mwink:

[Sir1982]

i voted slammed on 15's.... for your Work VSXX

I currently have 16' with a 2'' drop, but look at my avatar (right ep3) for a slammed 15' (stock rims), photo is small but can give you an idea

[ep3moschini]

Ball outrageous!!

[WigginsSiR]

16's are the way to go.... if thats not an option for you then go 15's... 17's are too big for any honda. imo

[Panathrasher]

I vote 17's, giant sidewalls FTL.

Here are a few pics of my EP on 17's with a 1" drop.

[az-epdrvr]

17'' no need to be to low

[EPSpeedKing]

Go with 17's

[jtyler05si]

if you like the baller look get an escalade (:

[simcivic08]

17" with 1 or 2 finger gap. :mtongue:i think slamming an ep is a good way to loose all pleasure when driving it. It's sexy but, who needs a sexy wife if it's only for looking at her cuz she's not able to give you pleasure :mbiggrin:.

I wish I did, that was when JDM EP3 tried out the spoon mono brakes and wanted to see if they fit inside. The wheels spun without hitting the brakes, but he had MAYBE a millimeter of clearance between two very expensive JDM pieces, so he sold the setup after taking a couple of baller pics. That's the only pic I have though, his was black and was probably my favorite EP ever to grace this site. Since he was cramming the brakes into them, I'm sure they were 17s.

[EPandaman29]

wish there were 16s in this wheel but 17 looks the best for our car, if it had to be between 17 and 15.

[EP3_Souljah]

ya that car is sexy as hell. i dont know if the 17's will look good on my car because i dont have the mugen lip like he did. i just have the 02-03 ctr front end..

[powdbyrice]

These are 17". Do you need anymore pictures? I'll get you the offset and the spec on these wheels tomorrow.

[EP3_Souljah]

SICK CAR MAN!! Those rims go really good with your setup... Whats the width on them?

[ShadySi]

I say 17's but get as much offset as possible on them. I don't know if it would be possible.. but shoot for a 17x8 +25 or 30 :mangel::mangel:

you would probably have to run 205's or 215's and roll your fenders.. I hope you'd have coilovers and free control over your camber :mwink:


BUUUT.. it woudl be bad ass :laugh:

[EP3_Souljah]

Well I'm going to order the 17" now i just don't know whether to get 7.5" or 8" width...LOL...I'm riding on tein flex with a rear camber kit. Either way, I would like to run 225 tires.

[Sucka]

The Spec on my wheel is

17 X 7
114.3
+37 offset

Tires:

Yokahmo Avid H4's
215/45/R17

Dropped on Megan Race Coilovers. Still can go like 1.5 more inch lower

[ShadySi]

Sucka you need more offset and width imo

[Sucka]

Sucka you need more offset and width imo

It's too late now. Unless if someone wants to buy my rims!

[hatch404]

17s fo sho! Don't forget the obligatory pics when you get them:mcool:

[Yo_KyleEP3]

yea 17s ftw

[J-Bird]

Go with the 17's. Our cars are too big to look good on a 15 inch rim. Then just get a bigger brake setup to fill in the extra room.

[powdbyrice]

8"!!!!

whatever you get, make sure the offset is good!

[20CiviC02Si]

You can get away with 17x8 +42.

[zzfinaldropzz]

i think 17's make our car run slower due to the heavier rims...

[powdbyrice]

i think 17's make our car run slower due to the heavier rims...

depends how much heavier.

i went from the stock 15's to 17x7.5 rota torques (~19lbs) and i dont notice anything.

[20CiviC02Si]

i think 17's make our car run slower due to the heavier rims...That's why you buy 17's that are lighter than stock wheels! :mwink:

[EP3_Souljah]

Whats the lowest offset i can get away with on these rims in 17x8??
I want as much lip as possible front and rear. Rear lip must me equal or deeper than the fronts. and ill be rolling the fenders.

[AliG-EP3]

It's difficult to pull off the 15's unless you're slammed with a proper CTR kit

[ToingToing]

It's difficult to pull off the 15's unless you're slammed with a proper CTR kit

I think 15s look better without the kit.

Definitely get 17s if you have (or plan to have) a CTR/HFP (or others) kit.

[NHBP ep3]

16's are the way to go.... if thats not an option for you then go 15's... 17's are too big for any honda. imo


i know this is your opinion but i had to say keep in mind type r ep3's come with 17in rims... honda knows what there doing
