Similar offsets would be great except a zero offset. Not my cup of tea.

Most people have 17s with that offset. I havent seen any 16s

Pictures of 17's with this offset would be helpful too. Trying to see how far it sticks past the fenders. I ran 17x8.5 +31 advan Rg2's but wanted to see a +25 for a visual reference.

you should be good in the front, the rears may need a roll or a slight stretch of the tire... that or a little negative camber!

Sucka

I have since added a tad more neg camber to the rear. Now the tire will only rub hitting larger road imperfections or road waves at higher speeds, very infrequently. And I have yet to roll the rear quarters.

what are you lowered one? Coilovers if so set that damper all the way to stiff in the back..

Also zr1's run 10mm wider then what they say. so your really running more like a 215-50

also, are your front mudflaps cut to fit? I did that on my em2 and loved the look.

you got a lip? Car looks great BTW and the rims fit great.. looks like you like to drive!

I second this as Im running a 17x8.25 +25 with 215/40's. Would like to know how much your lowered. I may have to get a taller tire now.

Lowered on Tein SS running about 3/4" gap. I could go lower but refuse to simply because I do drive my cars.
The rears are set 3 clicks from the firmest setting and the fronts are half (i believe 8 out if 16 clicks). These settings are more than adequate for daily driving. The one grey wheel you see in the second pic is my "fun" set. 16x7 +42 currently mounted with 225/50 Dirreza's. I recently went on a run with a friend through sone twisties with a group of Z's. I came to the conclusion that I will mount a pair of 225/50's on the 8" wheels for the front. There was noticeable sidewall flex and front end squirm. The 7" wheel is simply too narrow for so much rubber.
On a side note, I am losing about 35 miles per tank running the 205/50's as it is a full inch or so smaller in diameter.
The mudflaps are actually the 04-05 with aero pieces. They are factory molded around the stock sideskirts. I likes me some mudflaps.
Thanks for the kind words.

An older picture if what the EP has to compete with.

HandA should still have them available. I ended up getting mine off Ebay for $18. Some dealership up north was clearing out a bunch of old stock, I lucked out on a deal.
handa-accesories has them for $58.

Scratch that, those are for the 02-03 without sideskirts...
