Hey Nathan! you bought your wheels off me. Im sorry about the ugly situation your in right now, but just couldnt give you a refund under the circumstances but anyway on a bright side i know someone that runs the same size as you (17x9+22) on a ep3r on stock suspension so it can be done...1. you will need a front camber bolt, which should cost around $15 or so on ebay. 2. if your rear springs are low enough youll get some natural camber allowing the wheels to tuck in...(but rear camber kit is something you should look into in the long run) also you should look into coilovers if you want to upgrade your suspension. your guards may also need to be rolled if your springs are too low making the wheels scrub so you'll need to look into that, but first thing look into getting front camber bolts mate!

Good to see ur still on here tom!. Tom if u remember ur dc5, u fit these ssmee spec wherls with 225/45 rubber and had it roughky ssme height as matt lews dc5. No camber kit just natural camber ftom lowering it. Front wise i believe u had camber bolts since u didnt have camber tops i think and on some hard cornering u did hsve somr scrubbing.

Tyre fitment for 17x9

Hey guys
I currently got 225/40/17 on my 17x9 wheel which is stretched,
Was wondering what is the width ppl get so the tyre doesn't stretch for 9 wide

Thanks

Got 245 on mine. It looks normal

See above for what a lot of 17x9 guys are running. What's the offset of your rims?

pretty small 18's you have there

what camber settings are you running?

[plAythiNG]

haha nice 18's!

[rookie]

Haha, my bad. Edited.

Running 3.5ish on the front at 2.5ish on the rear.

Any idea whether 17x8.5 +43 on 225/45/17 tyres on the front of a DC5 will require any modifications? Currently have about a 3-4cm gap on my type S rims.

[M@lew]

Shouldn't really need to touch anything, maybe a little bit of camber if you didn't get enough from naturally lowering.

[MuGennnnn]

Awesome. Thanks, will post up pics if I do end up getting them.

Do you guys reckon this may be too close to the inner section of the wheel well?

Cos apparently 17 X 9 +35 is already getting a bit close..
may need spacers?

[MuGennnnn]

Yeah it's like 1.5mm closer, wasn't sure if that was going to be a problem. Would it be easier to fit these in the rear then?

The rearbhas even less clearance due to the rear trailing arm. You might need spacers either way. best bet is to trial fit the wheels
