DC2R wheel offsets - what?

[Neesmo31]

Hey guys new to the forum, going to buy a dc2r over the chrissy holidays. Just wondering what the correct offset for the dc2r is and could people maybe post pics of their dc2r with their rims and offset sizes. Thanks all.

Kepp the stock rims on it man.
DC2R is one of those lovely cars that came out of the factory as good as it gets aesthetically IMO!!





P.S i got a yella one 4 sale if ur interested :)

standard 15" DC2R wheels are 6" wide and have an offset of 45

I used CE28N 16x7 5x114.3 42, TE37 16x7 5x114.3 +42.

For DC2R, +38 to +45 should be no problem.

i cant post a pic, but i got yellow dc2r, with 07 model ctr 18 x 7.5 which are +55 offset and sit perfect.......but now i got stockies back on and 18's for sale.lol.looking to getting some 16 x 7 or 7.5 inch buddy clubs with +42 offset.

dont mean to hijack, but is it possible to fit 8" rims on? or not really worth it?
if so would the offsets of +38 to +45 still be ok?
cheers

[IEVAQ8]

i would assume the +38 offset may clear the by 8's

will a 215/45/15 tire fit the stock dc2r rim? or a 205/45/15?

Just on this topic...i have 16x7 buddy clubs..offset +45 for my DC2R..and yet the front ones stick out of the guards slightly? quite noticeable scrubbing when going down hill on tight turns (Arthur Seat down hill, not racing, just normal driving).

Anyone got any ideas?

Do you have the ability to adjust camber at the front? If so I would add some camber to gain some tyre clearance and perhaps roll the guards. I have seen dc2s with 16x7 +42 and it did not stick out at all :confused:.

What tyre size are you using and how low is your car?

Thanks...tyre size is 205/50.....and i've been told the rims/tyres shouldnt be a problem!

Yeah i've thought about the camber option - and i can buy a kit for it - but its like, i have the right size/offset so i dont understand why...

Its not lowered. Stock height...

How come you're running such high offset, my new set of rims will be 16 x 7 +32 =/ , will need to roll the rear just a little to give the rim a bit of space but other than that no worries

i didnt choose my offset...thats the offset of new civic type r 18's.........iu only posted to make a point.or to show what can and will fit on dc2r..from previous experience

[markoJEK1]

Ok fair enough, what offset you running now

EDIT: With the buddyclubs you are chasing, you're still getting a high offset? Whys that

[IEVAQ8]

nah................i got rota slipstreams 16*7 with 40mm offsett................no more buddy clubs

[markoJEK1]

So you're the buyer that got Deans rims? Good choice, I got a set now, but will be letting them go to make space for new goodies
