Im looking at wheels for my ep and cant decide wether i want 16's or 17's

16x8 or 17x8.

I like 17's but at the same time i dont wanna look like a monster truck.

its gonna be on an 02 ep without side skirts

lets hear some opinions please

My car has a bit of 4x4 stance with the 17's on stock height and no lips. You might want to go 16 if you're worried about how it'll look.

If you get the right tire size for 17's they shouldn't be any bigger then 16's.

Here's my EP3 on 17s...i now roll on RPF1s but they are also 17s so the stance is pretty much like this only the wheel design is different.

I have 215/45 on my 17's, and i only rub on hard turns.
I'm probably going to raise my car a bit, because I used to have 205/40's and i wasn't rubbing at all.

I'm pretty sure you don't need to stretched tires to not rub.

You could have just said street cleaner low lol

Well if you buy the right size offset you can get away with even a 215 with a little camber.
