    Default Clearance Issues EG HATCH

    I was trying to look in the forum search, but I can't find the member on the board that has an EG with some EP3 wheels on it.

    I was wanting to know what tire size he was running, because I'm running some 185/65/15's right now and I have MAJOR clearance issues on the front and some RUBBING in the front.

    I def. do not want to ROLL MY FENDERS.

    It got so bad, the drive from GA to TX my damn front bumper came off the screw.

    ride looks clean man. i like the color of the EP wheels too...

    but if you want to ride any lower than stock, you're going to have to run a 50 series tire.. no wider than a 205 if you don't want it to rub the subframe. (depending on your offset, of course)

    lolol...

    you wouldn't believe the ride from GA to TX.. I it was like NASCAR race.. I couldn't keep my hands off the wheel, I was swaying back/forth, really felt like I was riding on air and shit..

    but I'll be changing out tires in a month or so.. I got plenty of tread left, plus I don't see myself driving everywhere, I got a TL out here.. plus the ep3's will potentially be polished

    How the hell wouldn't you have enough tread left over running 65's

    The profile has nothing to do with the tread thickness

    Cause I figured the EP3 wheels are 6-6.5" wide & the tires look like they're just about even with the outer lip of the wheel, so I figured had to be at least 195.
