Cheers Alex for the tagging
Merlin yeah i am running Uniroyal rainsports 2 size 225 45 r17 on ep3 wheels.
I originally had bridgestone potenza 205 45 r17 but sold them due to the thread being low after the track day i did last year.
I wanted abit more comfort and more of a quiet ride so opted for the uniroyal 225 width size.
Due to the Ep3 sticking out ever so slightly compared to a motegi wheels the 225 tyres rubbed quite abit only when i went over pot holes and road humps and when i turned corners rather quickly. Since then i had to raise my ride hide around 7mm and now it doesnt rub at all.
The ride is so comfortable and the road noise as dramtically been reduced with these tyres but the ive seemed to have lost the handling of the prelude now. I think i would go back to 205 size now as it would be perfect for track days. But i think if i went for the xtra load 225 tyre it may have helped
The 225 width didnt affect my 4ws at all. it only rubbed on the front arch liner and rear arch lip. Now that i have raised the car it doesnt rub at all. Although i still would prefer the look of it being much lower it is a hell of alot more practical to drive and the tyres are very forgiving on the bumps and pot holes.
Heres a pic of the car when the tyres were installed on my original ride height
and hes a pic of when i raised the car approx 7mm
Hope it helps
Soz for the poor pics. Havent done a decent photo shoot on our cars for a very long time.
May look to get hancooks evo 12 in 205 for track day use soon any maybe on another set of wheels
Looking at your setup i would be very confident in saying that 225 width tyres will definately rub, unless you go heighten the car alittle but by doing so you may lose the look you currently have. I would go for a 205 or stick with the 215
