    Yes it will fit. You will need to roll the rear fender. You need a front and rear camber kit. Your gonna run -2 up front and -3 to -5 in the rear depending on your tires... That's about it bro

    You can actually run them how ever the hell you want.
    Beefy tires, stock height, blah blah blah.

    It just depends on what kind of 'stance' or look you want to execute.
    Your average ep3 owner with these wheels run stretched tires, low, and lots of negative camber.

    I'd run 195/50/16 tires.
    It's a nice stretch, and it's not under-sizing your tire diameter a whole lot

    I'd get hub centric rings if because the offset's are so low, and you probably will run camber. You need 73 to 56.1.

    I HIGHLY recommend rolling your fenders if you plan on getting ANY aftermarket rims. I think it makes things much easier in the future.

    Camber wise I ran about -3 front and about -6 rear.

    And like any aftermarket wheel you need lug nuts designed for it.
    You CAN NOT use oem lug nuts.

    Okay so you posted up Andy's ride and Miah's ride.
    No Hate on Andy (just hung with him yesterday actually) but his ride is just a tiny bit too tall, and not enough camber for the wheels
    He needs to drop it a bit more.

    Miah on the other hand is pretty fricken slammed.
    He's got more camber front and rear, and more stretched tire, which allows him to go lower and execute that look better.

    Miah's tire size: 195/50/16
    I forgot the alignment but it's around -4F and -6R
    Andy's tire size: 205/45/16
    I forgot the alignment but it looked like 0 front and -3 rear.

    Also: Andy hasn't rolled his fenders, but Miah did
    Also I think Miah did a .25" fender pull but I may have that mistaken with someone else.
