need some advice from people's experience of dc2r with 17"s

QUESTION - how does it drive? guards scrape or not?
& is your car lowered with them? .. if so.. how much before it gets annoying to drive around..

thanks in advance

17s on my dc2 no problems...I'm used to it...guards dont scrape most of the time...just gotta take it a bit easier on 3 point turns thats all just incase...only touched the guard a few times on 3 point turns over the years.

the thing some people don't like with running bigger rims is the steering wheel tending to veer more, when you hit a bump or something....


I'm fine with it lol
besides I'm running ghe770 former sussy ;)

yep hav 17's on my dc2.. didnt feel any difference in handling and acceleration compare to my light 15"s

but had 17"s chromies on be4 that... it was fkn heavy. so i guess it all depends on the type of rims ur getting

i had 17s on my dc2r - felt a difference when i went back to stockies - steering was lighter and the car felt more precise when turning

also noticed that i was getting abit more in mileage.. but not anything drastic.. i was lowered on eibach progressive springs + stock shocks and dint scrape at all

as said in the previous post it depends what rims u getting

THe rims look sweet,

Theyre lightweight rims anyway arent they, so I doubt there would be any performance reduction compared to the stockies, even in comparison to sizes.
