17x8 ET45 - EP3

[LoganK]

Picking up some new wheels for the EP3 next weekend.

17x8 ET45 RPF1s

Will be putting some 225/45 RE070 tyres on them. (Won't be going on till after winter anyway)

Just wanting to know if anyone has any experience with a similar wheel on an EP3. Will these rub or be ok? Will I need arch work?

I plan to lower the car 30mm on springs and get a geo set up done for next summer.

Only asking as I'm new to EP3 and have heard the arches are not very accommodating!

If you go too low you'll defintaly rub (front and rear).
I don't know if 30mm lower is going to rub though.

Here's what they look like with Toyo R888 215/45/17 (same size Enkeis):

I think it rubbed at this height so his car sits a bit higher now.

Thanks @EK4Sure

Looks like I may have to roll the rear arch lip

Won't be going crazy low so we will see what happens
