    Proper rim rpf1 size for ep3

    So im in store for some rims and tire setup for this spring. I found a used set of rims but at the same time there are other setups which I could go for new. Anyways my choices are


    USED SETS
    16x8+32 (front) 225/50/16
    16x7+35 (rear) 205/55/16
    or
    17x8+45 (225/45/17) all around

    NEW SET
    17x8+35 (235/40/17) all around
    or
    17x9+35 (front) 245/40/17
    17x7.5/8+48/45(rear) 225/45/17

    This is a dd/track friendly setup running -2 camber front and -1 camber rear
    Tires will be dunlop star specs running either setup (225-245 front 205-225 rear) or ( 225 all around) 16's i would be limited to 225 front and 17 would enable be to run 245 front.

    musty? :P

    Basically with the rpf1 what would be most optimal setup to run on a ep3? Used obviously being cheaper than going brand new as listed above

    Basically go EasyEP3 or Guardian Setup

    I was also thinking I can grab the 17x8+45 I found used and run 225/45/17 all around (granted there will be no fitment issues, and then upgrade the front rim to 17x9+35 245/40/17 when need be?

    16's are too small for the EP IMO.

    17x8 +35 with a 235/40 or a 225/45

    16 by 8 fronts and 15 by 7 rears. no reason to carry all that extra weight in the rear.
