Prob would be 205/45/16 or 195/45/16 either one of these would be great

You'll need your fenders rolled and camber kit to get the flush look....what suspension do you currently have??

I have 205 45s and i like em; a tiny bit of strech but more tire so im not slammed to be flush, camber settings r -2* up front to help with poke(they will poke in the front btw! A slightly stretched tire and camber help out) and -4.5* in the rear to not rub THAT much....
If anything u can go with 195 50s and have a great deal of stretch yet not have as much camber...
If u know a cool shop that will let u mount tires to check the fitment b4 u buy do it cuz thats what helped me and u can decide what u want
U gotta understand its an aggressive fitment so be ready to roll fenders if u havent and to buy tires more often, and be real low...
It can be done with patience and there are many other threads on this that have other good info and pics... just gotta search for it

Im running 195-50-16 size tires with about 0offset in front and -3.0-3.5 in rear. Fenders are rolled too. They still stick out a bit up front like gamma6 said.

I ran 205-45s too. Looked good. All depends wat ur aiming for. More stretch or less, wanna be hella low or wat not. Good luck!

195-45's or 205-40's period, i had the wheels and tried the 45 series the 50 series, fenders were rolled pulled and i had coilovers trust me. you will have poke at all corners no question about it, stretch it and make it look good. and the stretch on a 195-50 is a big let down on that wheel and offset.

Yea the 205 40s we cool too but had to be slammed to be flush and goin thru 2 midpipes was the deciding factor that i was way too low for dd and that my next set of tires were gonna sit higher

195/50 get's my vote.
but a 195/46 if you're willing to go real real low

well if u want flush a 16" wheel is too small for the ep3 anyway, a 17" or even 18" will give u a flush look depending on width and offset easier than a 16". but that drives the price up some, tires get up there in price quick. when i finally had the 195-45's put on i was like why did i wait so long to get this size.i stayed with that size for two years and sold the car like that. my mid pipe hated me also.

Agreed.

17" is a minimum to get close enough. 18" is ideal.
