Link? Picture?

I have decided to try at least 225/45 or 235/50 on the track.

I have no use to go wider on the road, 205 is enough

I think u will regret it man, i ran 17's 205/40/17 on my jordan for a few months and hated them. Made the steering feel awful it used to pull you all over the road, ride was crap, used to slip on the tinyest patch of water... It also Seemed to kill the acelleration.

I'll test it out first, but im running semi slicks so its only for track use so i'll not be that bothered

Remember it's a high powered K20 the car is running and ep3's run 17's as stock, But even at that if it were me. I would not 17's on a daily.

 

[tharshan]

Well I have run 17s since I bought my EK, and that was 3 years ago. Again, no problem at all.

But honestly I prefer 16s. Gives a much better look IMO.

yes that is true, but if you watch the video you will hear the tyres being ate by the arches every time it brakes or goes for a corner. ek's where designed and geared for 15" wheels. IMO 16" is the max to run on an ek chassis.
