I'm currently running 215/45/17 on my 17x7.5 + 42 wheel

I'd like to get larger tire on front to counter understeer and keeping the front tire from spining


I wanted to go with 235/40/17 but i'm concern about the spacer which is really small on the ep3 chasis
What you guys run?

Post pic of your unconventional tire width :mbiggrin:

I'm running 205/45/17 on 17x7+35 wheels and rubbed off my driver fender liner on bumps. I'm lowered on BC Racing Coilovers as well too.

how low did your BCs go in the rear? mine are maxed out and i'm still at almost a 2 finger gap. i have no idea what i'm doing wrong

Weird... I have a two finger gap on my bc racing coilovers and I have about a good 6-8 more inches I can drop

i can lower to tuck like an inch of tire up front, but the rears don't go low at all:(

I left the height of the springs as is when I received the coils

Don't mean to drag this thread out, as stated above the "where's the beef" thread is good.

I am running a 235/40/17 with 17x8 and +35 offset lowered on HFP suspension. It is dreamy although I did have slightly roll rear fenders but it comes with the territory.
