Look for 4x100. Just means there are 4 studs and the PCD is 100mm (diameter of a circle going through the 4 studs).

The link you posted i'd go with the 15x7 +37 or +44 is easiest fit for dc2, 205/50/15 tyres easy fit no need to roll or anything with a moderate drop

I also have Potenza Adrenalin RE001 right now >.<
just saying, might help :)

6.5-7" with a moderate offset is good

[Bludger]

6.5-7" with a moderate offset is good
15x7 +0?

that's pretty moderate for some ppl.

[dougie_504]

15x7 +0?

that's pretty moderate for some ppl.

Over at Stancegays that's probably a very soft offset lmao.


OP
I recommend 15x7 +35ish. Anything more and you'll probably end up stuffing around with adjustable camber arm setups and guard rolling. So as charliebrown said consider the 15x7 in +37 (wheel will be fitted more 'outwards' of the guard) or the 15x7 +44 (wheel will be fitted inside the guard more).

[GU357]

im pretty sure my friend has 15*7 +42 or something with his DC2 and they fit fine and look alright.

[dougie_504]

Yeah that's because anything +35 or greater on a 7" rim is an appropriate and sensible offset. Once you lower that offset and height it gets harder to keep it functional.

Around 45 would be absolute highest i'd go. My +40 scrubs the inside of my EG on a 7". DC2 similar sized guards nd shiz

[integragsi96]

imo 16x7 +38 205/45/16

[GU357]

oh right lol i got the numbers cofused lol dc2 is the ealier integra lol dc5 is the last one ahaha my bad

My current with no scrubbing, 15x7 38OS with rolled gaurds at a big 3-4inch drop :) No scrub hehe...

Nah anything around the 40 offset for a dc2 should not scrub unless you have a huge drop. Else just roll your gaurds anyways for the sake of it.

try go 16's so when you want to drop it a fair bit. You dont scape everywhere

Goodluck

[Evok]

More info, 1.5 Inch drop will look good on 15's with 205 or 195/55/15, if you like it function.
With that spec it should cover the majority of the gap between fender and tyre. Else with 2.5inch drop will look good on 50's but you might scape and scrub.

[dougie_504]

Cleaned up a bit.

Please play nice guys, and try to stay on topic. Respect one another opinions (and just relax!).


Left open in case OP has any more questions :)

mate... Why do you need to roll guards with a high offset? The top of the tyre sits in far as fuk (assuming natty camber), doesnt go near the guards unless u fukd up your tyre sizes and got like a 215 on 7"

And how does 16"s scrape less than 15"s? Y do people keep saying this shit

[Bludger]

audm dc2r - 15x6 +50 195/55/15
jdm dc2r - 16x7 +50 205/45/16

the 16" wheel has a slightly smaller rolling diameter.

[GU357]

Bludger, since the Jdm dc2r has 205/45r16 does that make that tyre size fairly common?

my jazz has 205/40r16 which is apparantly quite rare.
but when i bought the wheels from the guy who owned them before (the came off a jazz) they were just the tyres on there, and the 45 would actually be a closer to original size.

just curious on whether it would be better off getting them next time from a cost perspective.

[Super-DA9]

baal, 16x7 would be much nicer then 15's on your dc2 IMO.

+33 offset will be ok with a bit of camber, otherwise +35 is probably about as far out as you can go before guard work comes into the picture.

[DC28OY]

15x8 +25 195/50 :) plus roll guards :D

[G-Stick]

imo get 16s, 15s will look too small on the car especially with these wheels,

my old dc2 had 15s, 15x7+32 which sat okay.

but i would suggest getting 16x7 plus 25-30

[GU357]

wow love that pic, car looks beutiful and ive never been a fan of the bug eye DC2 but that looks :O
