Wheel size for DC5S? [Archive]

SiR CRX

14-06-2008, 08:44 PM

I'm getting a DC5S in a couple of weeks and want to get some wheels straight away. I have always loved the look of the Ings DC5 and want a similar look for mine. I had a browse on the Ings website and it had the specs of all their cars. The site said the Integra is running VOLK Racing GT-V's in 19x8.5 +40 offset. The problem is that I can't find this offset in the 19x8.5 size anywhere. Maybe they were a custom jobbie but something tells me these aren't 19 inch rims. Maybe a few of you could take a stab on what size these are and also what offset. I am also considering getting some dish happening after checking out some of the DC5's in the picture thread. If you were to go with some wide wheels, what offset and size would you get?

they look like 19s 2 me... dc5 r pretty chubby lookin cars with big guards so anything below 18" looks pretty small.

Ive actually got my mind set on a DC5R early 2009 n hav been lookin round 4 some rims 2 suit that. Id prolly go 18"s... siply for the performance factor... dont think ud wana go bigger... but if u check out some show DC5s they usually have 19s or even 20s on them.

Dish makes rims look smaller so ud hav 2 go 19s at least (if ur goin 4 looks).

Hard 2 say from that pic but the rims look like 19's 2 me, wouldnt b surprised if the offset is custom. i rekon ur prolly better off gettin 18/19x8 anyway... if they come that size.

Goodluck man, if ur car turns out anythin like the 1 in the pic... DAMMMN!

Remember the JDM DC5R is running +60 standard wheels which the INGs website car is based upon.

Which means the hubs sit out more.

Stock AUDM is +45 and running +40 wheels will only sit a tad bit out more, considering the size and width of the wheels you may need a more agressive offset.

So in theory should be running like +30 or even +28 offset so that the wheels dont hit the suspension or rub against the chasis.

Thanks guys, very helpful comments. So if I wanted a bit more dish I should drop the offset below +28? Sorry, I find offsets a bit confusing :D

no he's saying not to go lower than a +28 offset. and with wheel size don't get bigger than 18. u could pull off 17's as long as they are wide enough.

Chi

No its not.

I had that set up and if you want to lower with camber the inner tyres or wheel rubs or hits the chasis / suspension.

+35 to +38 is decent for DC5R.

If you looked carefully they are using the JDM hub set up which is +60 , so that set up is like running +26 or so on out +45 hub.

Just to clear any confusion (in case there is any) I think Chi is trying to say that the AUDM setup with a +40 rim will sit further inside the guards when compared to a JDM setup with a +40 rim. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, very helpful comments. So if I wanted a bit more dish I should drop the offset below +28? Sorry, I find offsets a bit confusing :D

If wanted a bit more dish, go for a lower offset rim. The amount of dish that a rim gives is generally proportional to the size and offset of the rim.

FYI, a 8.5" +37 offset rim will just clear the rear guards with a light fender roll and -2.5degrees camber. With a slightly more aggressive roll, you should be able to fit a 8.5" +30 rim with the same camber.

17inch +43 is the best for DC5R

What makes you say that this is the best for a DC5R?

Best in what way? Best if you want to run tiny tyres? Best if you want your rims to be sunken into the guards if you lower your car? best if you like your rims to have a super flat faced look? You must qualify your statements.

This is with a 235/45 tyre by the way on a car that is pretty low at the back. No gap between guard and tyre when the car is viewed from the side.

+43 will not clear spoon calipers , at least not the majority of rims.

You will need +38 or less to have a chance to clear.

+43 with wider rims is not good either for daily especially if you want to full lock turn as it will sit in too much and scrub the chasis.
If you get wider rims it is wise to get more aggressive offset to clear the strut housing more easily.

Brembos will have no chance of clearing with +43 on AUDM hubs, I got teh JDM hubs with CE28's +43 wheels ( in theory +28 on AUDM hubs ) and it clears it by a finger.

So unless you can justify your state with proper reason to why it is the best, I dont see your statement being valid.

Thanks guys.

This RSX is running 18x10 in the rear with a +30 offset and 18x9 in the front with a +12 offset and 245/40/18 tyres. Apparently it doesn't rub with the rolled guards. Is this possible on an AUDM Integra or do we run different offsets to guys in the states?

http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3603/69865804by5.jpg

Yes this is possible on an AUDM Integra as the suspension on our cars is functionally identical to that of the RSX. If you are willing to play around with camber adjustment front and rear, and change tyre sizes to get it to fit you can get widths and offsets like that to fit. However wheels setups like that are a terrible idea for performance. Wider in the rear of a fwd and not very large tyres is weaksauce. If you run a more conservative offset and alignment you will be able to fit 245 tyres at all four corners, unless you are particularly after the dished look of those wide low offset wheels.

+43 will clear SPOON, BREMBO without any issues.

Temp, air23box running this offset. Thats the fact.:thumbsup:

Best for daily! Best for track! Best for Clearing Spoon and Brembo calipers!

Statement completes!:thumbsup:

air23box runs the full jdm suspension so his offset is not really applicable to an AUDM car, and word on the street is that TeMp wants to change rims to a lower offset.

Also rims with +43 offset tend have pretty poor brake clearance, I witnessed a rim of this offset not clear a large caliper on the front of an AUDM DC5 whereas a +29 offset of the same rim cleared easily. You cannot arbitrarily claim that a certain offset is perfect especially desregarding width, for example a 17x8 +43 will only just clear the front suspension on my car, due to some peculiarities in my suspension setup, and a 17x8.5 +43 will not clear so +43 is hardly the ideal offset for me if I wish to use a rim decently wide.

TypeSSyndrome must either not drive his car very fast or he must have ultra stiff spring rates if he drives on that as a daily. On anything short of race-spec stiff springs, his guards would be munched through normal driving. Make sure you take this into consideration before you shove massive wheels on your ride and before you try and slam it :)

Best for daily! Best for track! Best for Clearing Spoon and Brembo calipers! Statement completes!

Why is it best for a daily? Why is it best for the track? Why is it the best for clearing Spoon and Brembo calipers? Your comments are complete, but completely useless without logical justification.

Humor us with why you think +43 is the best offset.

So say I bought some wheels and tyres in exactly the same size and offset as the car above. It would fit exactly the same? I'm not saying im going to do this but just curious.

Haha As soon as I saw this thread I knew you guys will be on it like a rash.

But yes it is true +43 is weak sauce for DC5 (AUDM) in both looks and performance wise.

Look wise +43 does not make the rim fill out the guards and with a kit the affect is even worst as the kit makes the guards even more aggressive and the rim even more sunken in (then add in camber...................).

Performance wise, atm I am running -2.6 front camber and sadly it scrubs (on full lock) and the specs of my rim is already relatively conservative 17"/7.5 +43.

Chi - I know someone who cleared brembos with +46 work cr 17" rim. I take it that the clearing needed for the spoon and jdm brembos are very similar?

In terms of rims and brakes clearance it not only depends on rim offset and width but also the spoke design of the actual rim.

Personally I wouldn't go any thing higher then +35 for DC5...

Is this the guy with the project mu rotors?

I'm sure he did the hub conversion as well hence +46 on a +60 hub is like running +31 i think.

If not I did say the majority of rims not all.

They will fit the same, provided you have the same accompanying modifications - coilovers, spring rates, camber arms, rolled fenders, etc.

In terms of rims and brakes clearance it not only depends on rim offset and width but also the spoke design of the actual rim.

JDM rims are +60 and they clear stock JDM DC5R brembos, so something with a +46 should have a more clearance, assuming the rim design permits. Spoon calipers are much chunkier to the JDM OEMS and require higher offset rims when trying to clear them. However like you pointed out, rim design is equally a determining factor when deciding what will clear and what will not.

Something cool to note is that 16x7 +35 Spoon SW338's will clear Spoon S2000 calipers. Tres cool.

Personally I wouldn't go any thing higher then +35 for DC5...

According to Kong Fu, this is not the best offset and you should keep your +43's...

It doesnt affect the offset if you change JDM LCA.

But why are you talking about +43 suiting the JDM brembo now ?, not everyone has jdm Brembo set up.

No point talking about +43 offset here when the topic starter has a AUDM DCR hub set up.

And you still havent given a reason to why +43 is the best,

Does it make the car handle better, does it turn better, does it make the wheels spin faster?

There is no end to discuss with you. basically I just said 17inch +43 is the best for DC5R setup. The most popular offset for DC5R is +43 and +50 in Japan and USA. Believe or not up 2 you. BTW Im not as free as you in front of computer all the times.

You cant just say 17", there is different widths too.

Are you saying all width size is good in 17's & +43 offset?

Why would Americans use +50 if the wheels sit in more?

Please explain? with a bigger and wider wheel, and an offset that sits in more, it will easily scrub the chasis or strut surrounding area.

Im not judging, im just after a reason why you think its best to run +43 which you still can't provide.

All im seeing from you is just apparent quotes from other "guys" which you think is best.

You say you arent in front of your computer often but you have replied to all my posts pretty quickly.

anything higher than +30 on a 7.5 inch wide rim is weaksauce.
anything higher than +35 on a 8.0 inch wide rim is weaksauce.
anything higher than +40 on a 8.5 inch wide rim is weaksauce.

if you your rims are sticking out about 20-25mm further out than stock and you have atleast -2 camber then your wheel/sussy setup won't be considered weaksauce.

that is all :)

If every one stopped trying to be so right, you guys might be able to give out some good knowledge, its obvious yous know shitloads about it

now

a question

Lookin at 19x8.5 for a DC5
the offsets the rim comes in is +35.

will use Coilovers for a big height drop, at least 3 inches...and a rear camber kit to square it up.

How wil this offset go?

I want maximum guard fill, and only want a max of 1.5-2 deg camber in the rear to help clearnace..thats a maximum

The wheels are koya inox magic..

ps looksy here

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

AUSDM specs of 16x7 @ +45 offset leads to this

19x8.5 @+35
-Inner clearance 9mm less
-Outer position extends an extra 29mm

Is this gonna work or will the offset need to be lower?
Ill be using coilovers too, so i should have more room on the inside as the shock clearance should be better.

Im asking for your reason for why you think that offset is the best.

Yet you still cant answer it.

you dont want to argue but you keep coming back and replies.

And even if you wanted to argue you couldnt because you obviously fail to read what the question is.

that offset with -2 camber should be fine for inner clearance...

however on 19's slammed 3 inches im pretty sure it will rub...

what tyres are you getting? the wider the the tyre and higher the profile the higher your chances of rubbing

Lookin at 19x8.5 for a DC5
the offsets the rim comes in is +35.

Will use coilovers for a big height drop, at least 3 inches...and a rear camber kit to square it up.

How will this offset go?

I want maximum guard fill, and only want a max of 1.5-2 deg camber in the rear to help clearnace..thats a maximum

The wheels are koya inox magic..

ps looksy here

Is this gonna work or will the offset need to be lower?
Ill be using coilovers too, so i should have more room on the inside as the shock clearance should be better.

I agree with 05dc5S you should be fine for inner clearance front and rear. Might rub a little on the inner guard/chassis at full lock if you are dumped.

As for alignment if you roll your guards at the rear you should be able to get away with not much more than -1 camber. Front I would go for 2 degrees negative. If you are super afraid of camber you could go for a 225 tyre which will make it much easier to fit. The wheels sound like they will fit well just buy them and then make the necessary adjustments (camber, guards) to make them fit :thumbsup:.

You must have a reason for your opinion.

You cant just give a opinion based on crap now can we?

Obviously you have no idea why its good lol.

And if you bothered to read other peoples reply, they are also questioning why your opinion of the offset is good.

Which you still cannot answer.

I already said millions times I've personally used and tried. +43 offset is from my own observation.

You must got reading incapability.:( Feel sorry for you:eek:

I upgraded OEM 16 to 17x7.5 +43 offset CE28N.. with JDM front end BREMBO BRAKE CONVERSION.

I think there are about 30mm gap between CE28N spoke and brembo calipers.

I feel the car is completely a different car. Camber setting is negative 2.5.:wave:

Is your opinion of "+43 is the best offset" based upon the fact that you've previously run that setup before, which is why you think it is the best, or is there some kind of supporting evidence that your hiding from us?

Ok now I know you are full of crap for sure.

Why? , because I have this exact setup and I can tell you there is no way it is 30mm clearance from the caliper to the spokes.
