I found these pics on the net the other day.
Any idea what size rims they are and possible suspension setup?
They look like 19s to me, and will coilovers go that low?
I love the way it sits.
Don't know about ride quality and handling though..lol

Either 19's or 20's.
Coilovers should be able to go that low, but you won't be able to turn full lock (Or even half lock by the looks of it).
You'll also need to get a rear camber kit and the coilovers will need to have front pillow mounts so you can add camber to the front.

hey mate they are 20's and also if u no ur dc5's well there exhaust hangs low so having that low is a stupid idea if u want to drive it more then 5 k's down the road. U will only be able to turn half lock and also having 20's on ur car being a dc5 will slow the car down so much like u will have to take corners slower and also have a huge lack in power to the wheels, hill start will be bad and also u will get huge wear on the inside of ur tyres so be prepared to change ur tyres in about half the time u usualy would, or get camber adjustable coilovers front and rear and also get ur guards rolled as ull be scrubbing like a bitch.
On a good note my car is that low right now and i have a dc5r and it looks tuff i have 19's but ill be honest with u the ride is crap also the exhaust scraps over every speed bump. Also be prepared to get fines (very defective). but u have to remember if u turn to sharp ur guard can pop out and that will cost 300+ dollars to get fixed as my mates car is that low and he had turned to sharp when taking a corner and its quite a bad site.
In the end of the day its ur choice, but it will look fat as but remember there is no way in the world i could drive my car as a daily driver and it all depends on what u want out of ur car. Just one other quick thing u will not be able to get a wheel alignment from any old place will have to take it to a unique place as the standard wheel alignment machine does not allow for cars that low i had big hassles with getting one.
Good luck mate love that red dc5.

That DC5 looks quite good for chromes.

Look like 20s at least to me too. If you can keep the wheel width less than 8" and the tyre width 225 or less and the rolling diameter close-ish to stock you should be able to ride that dumped on wheels that size.
Not my idea of fun though.
EDIT: Btw that car is not that low, considering that the diameter of the wheel/tyre is a bit bigger than stock. Most of the common coilovers should go that low.

i currently have 17s and 1.5inch lowered all round and that's okay.
although i love the look of 20 inch dumped to the ground, i don't think i'll go there.
not a fan of red in particular, i was more looking at the rims and suspension setup.
