Wheel fitment

[jacob2094]

I know these threads come up often so I'm sorry for being a pain in the ass but after this I swear to god I'll leave you all alone!

I'm looking at some wheels for my DC5 around 18", I don't want to mess with rolling the car or camber etc as it's my daily drive. I may lower it by an 1" or so one day however. What general offset and widths should I go for?

Rolling the guards sorry...

Think if I remember right the original wheels are 16"~17"x7"+55, so you would most likely be safe with anything like 18x7+45 etc.

18 inch wheels can be overkill, also tires cost more, they weigh more etc. Go with 17's if you are wanting function, but if you want a certain look, 18's are fine.

The wider the tire, the more traction you will have on the road, but this will increase your fuel consumption as well due to the extra rubber.

The lower the offset eg. +10 will make the wheel poke out of the fender more than hearsay a +45/+55 which could give a sunk appearance, depending on the width of the wheel.

If you aren't looking to do any further work, eg. rolling your fenders, stick with something +40~+55, and around the 7"~8" mark.


In advance sorry to any of the "integra experts" if I'm giving bad information.

Ok great, still tossing up between 17's and 18's. the guy at Vision R Perth reckons 17 is too small but it looks fine on my car right now so I don't know :/

Lol that guy at VisionR is a complete moron, he doesn't know jack, and just wants to sell his excess stock, not advise people with correct information. He was trying to tell me I should be looking at 19's or 20's for my car, I was like "hmm .. ok .. I'll be back".

PERSONAL OPINION Also VisionR are crooks, I wouldn't trust my car keys with them to save my life.
