Will rear S2000 wheels on my Ep?

I found a set of four rear AP1 wheels for dirt cheap. Will they fit my Ep or will I have to get spacers?

The specs for rear AP1 wheels are:
16" x 7.5", +65 offset, 225 tire

Fronts, just for reference (since they are a closer fit) are:
16" x 6.5", +55 offset, 205 tire

I assume you have 5-lug or you wouldn't be asking. You will need to run at least 20mm spacers as the stock EP3 wheel offset is +45. Also, if they come with stock width tires, they will probably rub.

So if I get four fronts it will make things alot easier?

not really. wont need as thick of a spacer.

get ap2 wheels. much sexier.

Well, they are +55 offset, so you will still need to run at least a 10mm spacer. They are 6.5" instead of 7.5", so it probably all comes down to what width tire you are planning on running.

If you are going to use the stock 205, I would say do the fronts. If you are going to go wider, maybe get the 7.5s.

How cheap is "dirt cheap"? Because you can probably find some wheels that actually fit for "dirt cheap" as well. :mbiggrin:

if you really want to use those four rears and have it fit looking sort of normal you will need spacers. The rears won't even fit on the back of the Ep3. I think they fit on the front. But still you will need em.

not my car, so i dont know what spacers or specs.

You will have to get at sizable spacers, think 25mm for the rear wheels to bring it down to +40, depending on your suspension setup.

Chances are, you're going to grind the inner lip of the wheel with the trailing arm in the rear.
