Where's the Beef?

[dirtyMETHOD]

So, there have been lots of Slammed, Fitted, hellaflush buzz out on the net lately. I think to each their own.... I like it but it's not for me. I think practically and having a Daily Driver EP I just can't (or Won't) compromise my ride quality, handling and overall comfort just for looks.
I like in between.

Plus my wallet share won't just go to buying tires that are unevenly worn due to excessive camber.

And I ride with a Baby in my backseat so having a super stretch Fail isn't really an option for her.

I would like to see what else people out there are doing to their EPs that "fit" within their ideals.

All Styles Welcome, but bring some BEEF to the table.

So here's my Beef:

17x8 +40 not rolled yet on HFP suspension.

I spy HFP Vs. OEM bumper for comparison (new HFP rear lip going on in a month or so)










and an inside shot FTW:


BRING THE BEEF!

heres my beef..

17x8 +35 w/ 235/40 yokohama s-drives, front and rears are rolled with a nice buckle on the drivers side... the rear has been raised about an inch since these pictures (taken in july of '11 after leaving import alliance rice festival) they were rubbing like crazy. oh and the roof rack is gone, using that money for some RCAs

[sippyyy]

good stuff here!

[mitchlikesbikes]

i will be a part of the beef club if i ever get new wheels. some 225s or 235s look REALLY good under a moderately low EP3

[27rocks]

I've been rolling on 245's for almost 4 years now.

[gtolio]

Hellaflush is the new rice.

Here's my current setup. 215/45/17 Star Specs. Wish I would have gone with 225s, but it's too late now.

Would you mind giving some specs on the rpf1's and what it took to stuff a 245 in there?

[2003_ep3]

225/45's here and love them. Next set I'm going to try and get 235 or 245's!

Anything needed to run 225s?

Nope. I wouldn't recommend running a higher offset then +42 though or you will more then likely rub the rear trailing arm. And u wouldn't b able to run a lot of negative Camber. I have +38 and am close to zero offset and have about 2 inches of clearance from the rear arm

Got to be one of the best threads here so far!

[soquel1]

Some nice cars in this thread. Here's my beef: 16x7 Rpf-1, +43 offset, 205/50/16 Falken Ziex.

Ignoring the obvious "cow"/ beef jokes, I like this thread. It's nice to see people with proper setups & that these cars haven't all been corrupted by stance losers.

[Jukka]

hehehe....cow in a beef thread...sorry...had to.

I'm gonna be joining this thread soon enough. I'm gonna be running some 215/50R16s probably in a month's time.

Along with the new wheels, gonna be rocking one of these...

[dirtyMETHOD]

Great Stuff everyone.

I can't wait to see what else EP Hatchers have going on with their rides.....

Make sure you post your Specs so that fellow hatchers have a baseline for their ideas & projects.
