Ok, it's the first i've heard of or seen, and i've had to do a hell of alot of arch work. Generally people who do anything like that post pictures and attend shows and word gets around. Plus there are hardly any 17x8.5 out there.

I like those wheels but the tyre sidewalls look massive!

Had to roll the arches right back and slightly flare them, thing is i could fit them and they'd be fine but i like doing trackdays sowanted it to still be functional too 
I don't think the sidewall is massive, i hate small sidewalls and low profile tyres break traction far easier

There a very small ammount of wheels in this fitment. it's usually 17x8 or 17x9s unless you go for Rays where you can specify what you want. The EP3 have a small arch at the rear so it would benear on impossible to run anything wider than a 8.5. These wheels came out ten days ago in this size.
I understand what your saying, but i'm pretty confident there won't be anyo others in the Uk with this fitment.

i like all of the modifications you've done, i just reckon the way it sits could be tweaked
can it go lower?

It can't but it will, the front can go lower but the tyre is perfect on that in relation to the arch. The rear will be going down another 15mm, although on the pics it was sitting higher than it usually does, must of been on a bump

I'm -2 in the rear all ready and the tuck is perfect under compression. In the pictures the car is sitting a good 15mm higher than usual on those pictures at the back for some reason.
