thanks

[Q_ball]

[|N|]

[civic_mods]

Thanks for the answer guys!!!! :)
thumb up!

do u happen to have blue number plates?

[phantom_civic]

do u happen to have blue number plates?

u refering to the yellow one with the white DC5R rims?
plates BLU.6 sumfin..

[spoondc2r]

i got dc5r rims on my dc2r as well. the only problem you might have is the clearance on the brake calipers. other than that everything has been sweet.

[Da1nONLY]

you'd need spacers in order to fit...
although its different offsets, the rim might sit a little in from the guards...

problem with the caliper clearance? really? i would have thought that there wouldnt be a prob due to the dc5r rim being a bigger diameter wheel.

im guessing this was from experience... im actually planning to get the JDM DC5R rim onto my DC2R. if i did that, would i have an issue with the caliper clearnace (I have stock brakes) and would i also need a spacer as mentioned above

DC5R offset is 114, that may help you.

audm dc5r stock rims are +45

fitting jdm dc5r rims would need a spacer cos they are +60

it should be ok....but it may sit a bit in the guard....spacer wll fix it...but even without spacer it will clear anything.....I got a set of DC5R stockies btw....anyone want?:p

[matt]

jdm dc5 rims are +65 offset

wrong they are +60

this is from honda japan website

ホイールのPCD、オフセット量を教えて。
それぞれ以下の通りです。
17インチ
・PCD：114.3mm
・オフセット：60mm
・穴数：5穴


in japlish

PCD of the wheel, teaching the offset quantity.
Respectively it is as follows.
17 inches
PCD: 114.3mm
offset: The number of 60mm
holes: 5 holes

in using 5mm spacers front and rear on jap spec dc5r rims. but the fronts still scrub on full lock. i heard the aus spec dc5r rims are a diff offset and may clear a full lock.

i should of got a set of "work cr kai" rims in white and 18 x 7 with the right offset instead.

that's hot

[hebe]

Seen DC5R rims on DC2R and it just barely clears the calipers...

[votek]

i used to have dc5r wheels on my dc2r also. didnt need spacers.

[dynosaur]

DC5R offset is 114, that may help you.

PCD is 114.3 x 5(4)

ur is not offset , dude :)

[IZY-10]

no offence but stock dc2r rims look better. Except the white jdm's

[votek]

yeah i sold them. i found that set for 200 with tread.. so im like might as well use up the tread and sell them again

[air23box]

Audm is +45 offset JDM is +60....you need 5-10mm spacer to clear for jdm....no spacer require for Audm rims....

[VTECMACHINE]

I don't like them. LOL

[marky53]

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85131

this has been something that Ive heard very different versions of. Basically my AUDM dc5r rims on my dc2r didnt clear the front brake caliper and therefore I had to fit 3mm spacers on the front. Im not really sure how some people have avoided spacers, unless they have grinded back their caliper... I would like to know if anyone has done this......

ive added this photo so people are clear that im talking about audm rims.....

[Mr Rzz]

hey guy i wondering can DC5R rim fit on DC2R
(i mean offset )

does any pp done this b4?

cheers

[jeffreymui]

i've seen a guy done it before...i guess it'll fit

[IZY-10]

its been done heaps of times. Try a search heaps will come up. Some people have issues with clearing the brake caliper so they used a 5mm spacers. However, others have fitted them without any modification

[jeffreymui]

but i guess spacers are not that safe...unless u get a proper one

[nick_sixx]

wtf is a proper spacer?

[45SET]

what is a proper spacer?

There is nothing wrong with running a 5mm spacer if the car is not going to be tracked.

if your taking about the AUDM 16" DC5R rims... yes they fit fine without modification.

[m0nty ITR]

if your taking about the AUDM 16" DC5R rims... yes they fit fine without modification.

If you mean using a spacer is not modification then yes, but it definitely needs spacers on the front.

[souperman]

so dc5 rims do not fit on dc2r due to differences in offset?

what is the offset of dc5 rims?
whati s the offset of dc2r rims?

[souperman]

so whats the verdict?
can audm dc5 rims fit an dc2r without spacers? Yes or No?

[90LAN]

yes

thanks 90lan...but then why would marky53 have problems?

[DLO01]

no problems what so ever ive done it b4

^^^ As said, direct fit. No problems. If someone says they have issues, don't belive them, they have issues and are talking crap.

I took wheels directly off my DC5 and put them on a DC2 right next to it and the inside of the spoke hit the calipers. I fail to see how it can clear without spacers. It's close, very close. But it does touch slightly.

[souperman]

man, i really need to know for sure...becos im just about to do a 5 lug from ek9 onto my em1, and i want to put a set of dc5 wheels.if they dont fit, what a waste of time

[jeffreymui]

cas i heard some news saying spacer can be illegal and dangerous.....someone had an accident before i think......i forgot which forum i saw...but definately if u get a shit one....will casue u ur life

[aidannn]

spacers are bad because they leave less thread for you to bolt the nuts on

unless you get hubcentric ones which come with new studs, but branded ones cost an arm and a leg.

but all are illegal

[90LAN]

i did a ek9 5 lug on eg with dc5 wheels fitted no problems

I've run 16mm spacers with longer studs on my car and there's no detriment whatsoever. It's when people put spacers on without longer studs or hubcentric bolt ons.

People have accidents all the time and blame certain components of the car. Alot of the time they're covering their ass. Don't believe everything you read on the interwebs. People tell stories.

[souperman]

i dont know who/what to believe

[90LAN]

i dont know who/what to believe

mate i have shown u evidence it fits
if u have any doubts
dont do it its pretty simple

[marky53]

no, ive got spacers on the fronts to clear brake caliper..... and souperman, I have exactly the same question......

[DLO01]

My friends car. Direct fit/No spacers needed. Confirmed it with him.

[souperman]

90lan
thank you for your input.

it just seems odd that some ppl like you, dl001, sir vtec, spoondc2r, votek, 45set, teggiboy claim it is ok without spacers,
yet others like marky53, monty itr, AH_Huh needed spacers...

here's a question.
DC5R rims vs DC5 rims. i know the dc5r is gunmetal colour, but are there any differences in offset, size, etc?

[souperman]

and i like your eg. fark, so clean

[votek]

no spacers needed

[Neesmo31]

With regards to the slightly larger rim, as long as your profile matched the standard DC2 type r rolling diameter, would this keep the handling the same? i am looking to get a set of dc5 wheels for my dc2r but dont want a detrimental handling effect.

Thanks guys.

mate jdm 98 dc2r came out with 16's
so it will be fine

[marky53]

Lets settle this then......

When I fitted my dc5r rims on my dc2r the tyre place added 3mm spacers as they didnt THINK it cleared. Since then I have taken my spacers off and it clears the caliper (only just)..... Now my car is roadworthy again as spacers are illegal......

[Bludger]

even if there is only a 1mm gap, its still fine.

[minircc]

The DC5 rims look a little too small for DC5s, but look awesome on the DC2Rs and EG pictured above.

Anyway, I have a set of Silver Enkei DC5 rims in the garage, if anyone is interested, PM me. lol..

whoa that looks fcukn nice!:thumbsup:

cheers

:P

[Neesmo31]

Just to confirm again, i just bought a set of DC5R rims and put them on my DC2R. They went on with no modifications. The front brake caliper is very very close to the rim spokes mind you, but they do not foul. I am currently fixing some gutter rash and spraying them gloss black, putting some enkie stickers on the spokes and getting new 205/50/16 tyres fitted so ill post some pics when they are all done. :)

[fullmetal]

nice keep us posted!

[marky53]

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/543/blackwheelswithcentrecavl6.jpg (http://img206.imageshack.us/i/blackwheelswithcentrecavl6.jpg/)

i did something similar, got 205/50/16 but powder coated the wheels instead of spraying them.....

I would suggest that you get 215/45/16 tyres instead. I feel that the 50 series raises that car a little too high, and I think that 45's may help it have a better stance...... Ive put a picture to give you an idea of what yours will look like... hope it helps........

http://yfrog.com/5qblackwheelswithcentrecavl6j

[Neesmo31]

Thanks mate. I did a tyre profile calculator and with the 50 profile it puts the overall specs within 2% of the original size. Ive unfortunately already ordered the tyres lol. But ill put the piccys up when they are done. I got the last coats of paint on last night and it looks like a nice gloss black. Ill get the stickers done today and well see how she goes lol. Wish me luck! Thanks for the pic.

[Neesmo31]

The old and the new! Getting tyres fitted rite now.

[marky53]

cool.... the 50's seem appropriate for some people, whereas others might rather the 45's..... up to you at the end......

what are you going to do with your centre caps?? spray and stickers????

[Neesmo31]

Yeah ill see how the 50's go for the time being. I sprayed over the center caps as they were grey with the honda logo on them.

I got some enkie stickers made yesterday (only small) so im putting the enkie logo on the center caps and the enkie text with the logo on one of the spokes.

They didnt fit the tyres yesteerday because they were very busy but today is the day so hopefully ill have some finalised pics of it on the weekend.

Nice colour. Good luck ;)

[Neesmo31]

Thanks to DR HONDA for supplying the rims. All the gutter rash is gone and you wouldnt even be able to tell now! I am going to paint the calipers and hubs yellow so the black should suit the yellow of the car nicely. PS good trader feedback left for you DR HONDA!

Thanks for the feedback. Lower profile tyres and ride height will set these off. Good luck :thumbsup:

[teggiboy]

nice... i've also got a yellow DC2R with DC5R rims... they look sexy :)

[Neesmo31]

Sweet. What profile are you runnin and is your car lowered? Have you got any side on pics of your car mate?

[teggiboy]

215/40/16...sits nicely... it's also been lowered... have a look in the gallery section... there's a few pics of my ride there...tell me what u think ;)

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

i never been a fan of the dc5r rims... jdm dc5r 1s r a different story, imo dc2r rims look better, especialy the jdm 16's

[Neesmo31]

There you are - what does everybody reckon?? Its a bit of a shit photo tho. :)

[1900-hustler]

looks good man
Love the centre caps and stickers.
Very tasteful

Btw where did you get the rims repaired/paiinted

[Neesmo31]

Home job mate, i pulled the tyres off, bogged/putty'd the damage, undercoated then couple of top coats :) Just took my time and im really happy with how they turned out. Put new 205/50/16's on them and got the enkie stickers made for $20. Done. :)

[marky53]

looks good mate... but you gotta post some better pics......

well done though......

[Neesmo31]

Will do - i didnt have tyre shine on the tyres so they looked a bit odd lol, so i didnt want to get any close ups :) To sum up though, they fit great and look the part in my opinion - certainly alot better than the stock dcr rims. I dont think the stickers killed it either. What does everyone think about them?

[Chriskoss]

I dont liek the stickers personally.. they make it look like a cheap ass wheel that has stickers like' super sport' or 'extreeemeee' written on them lol.. but still nice

[Neesmo31]

In person they dont look that cheap, and i just grabbed the enkei design and copied that. :) Cheers all.
