I've had 17's on my car since I bought it...which is almost 5 years......only slight scrubbing if at all at full lock. I have 205/40/17 same ratio as stock...so speedo doesn't go out. I can see what Andy's saying about steering wheel getting jerked...but I steer clear from most of the royal natio rd as its too bumpy....smooth rd and its fine.
Also if your worried about how it will perform at the track...just get a set of track rims in 15 inch like I have.....
and btw...I was doing 1:19s at wakefield on 17s with street tyres on so I didn't really find the performance/handling worse off. Ofcourse semi slicks on 15's are faster ;)

17" or up looks oversized for the dc2, i would stick to 15" or 16".
also if the tyre size is too small, the ratio between the alloys and the tyre looks weird to me

i had 18's on my integra. the car was pretty lowered alot, 3.5" in the front and 5" in the rears.
the rears didnt have a problem but the front was scrubbing alot.
i would say not to lower the front no more then 3.5 inches.

i have 19z with problems need 2 flare my guards to slam the b*tch
anything below 18s i wouldnt even call proper rims! IMO

Gawd... I can't imagine how bad 18" wheels would feel to drive on in a DC2R.
I run 16x7 with 205/45 tyres on them. I don't think I'd go any larger... oh, and to the person that said to run 205/35 17", how about taking a look and seeing how many tyres you can find in that size....
