Quick question...
Im looking at purchasing the JDM 17" DC5R rims for my AUDM DC5R.... Does anyone know what size spacers ill need or camber kits? as I believe the stock audm rims offset is +45 where as the JDM is +60 .... All other suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance

hey man i got them fitted here. i had them on without any spacer they just a straight swap. but the offset is ugly so thats why most ppl but spacers on. i got 25MM spacers allround looks awsome

but the answer to your question is no spacer or camber required to fit the JDM rims. Straight SWAP

it would be interesting to understand why there is such a substantial difference in the offset...

reason being is for the brembos to clear the rim so they wont touch

you got any photos of yours? and where is a good place to buy spacers?? thanks again for the reply

i havent got any pics as yet but i will take one tommorow monring. im just at work atm.
i bought them used from a seller. im sure you can get some from jdmyard, jdm concept or simillar sellers. make sure there hub centric so you dont put stress on the studs.

i guess the lower the offset the more aggressive the look ull get. im happy with 25mm tho it gives me a offset +35
i got bridgestone playz 215/45/17

do you really expect that to be possible?
it's a very important part of the car I don't understand why you would want to cheap out here.
