Recommend offset for dc2

[hotdc2]

Hi guys,

I've asked around and done a bit of a search but i can't really find any useful information on what a good offset would be to have on my dc2. I want a flush look. The size i'm looking for is i think a 16x7, and people have told me that 35 or 40 offset would be good but they didn't specify or emphasise whether it would give me a flush fitment. If anyone can shed any light on the topic for me that would be great.

Thanks

EDIT: If it's not too much trouble, can you guys post pics of what you have so i can determine what i think would look good on my own car?

i used to have 16*7 +40 rota slip streams with 1.5degrees negative camber and cleared the rear guards by bout 5mm....
so if u roll/lip guards i dont see u having a problem with a +35

[hotdc2]

should i look into getting a camber kit to oppose the - camber cause by lowering the car as well?

I have +40, but would have loved to go +38. +38 is the best IMHO.

[hotdc2]

can you guys show me some pics of different offsets if you don't mind? i would love to be able to see the difference

depends if, or how much you plan to lower your car..
camber and height is the key to wheels looking good or not.

I've got Buddyclub N+ coilovers so height is reasonably adjustable. car was dumped on its arse but i raised it abit cause it's my daily driver.

If you want flushish look for a dc2 get around a +30.

You'll need the rear guards rolled and the front's will scrup on a clip But other then that it should be fine.

I've always liked the look of slipstreams on dc2s they look pretty good on your car IEVAQ8

If you want to be badass go into the 20's ;)

You'll need to roll your guards and have some nice stiff suspension but it looks hot!

+20 offset

im running 17x7 + 15 (help from spacer) and its not low enough....with i had a 8 inch wide wheel.

rolled and semi lipped rear guards with lots of camber. i need some proper low offset wheels.

but you could run this offset easily with just a camber kit and rolled guards no problem....i have room to play still.
