Sorry but you have it the wrong way round, lower offset will make the wheel stick further out and a higher, more positive offset will make the wheel sit further in toward the centre of the car :).Quote:

There would be very little visual difference with the +42 and +45 since it is 3mm difference.

Thats what I thought ( less offset means it'll sit further out)
which mean is IVAEQ8 and DL001 are running +40....and mine is +42..mine should technically sit in closer inward.
its driving me nuts!
as for spacer - i'm 99% sure there is none. But will double check this weekend.
Only thing i can think of is that the hub is wrong? anyone know how to verify this...:confused:
ur in melb yeh?????????
where bouts??????????
im happy to swing past and check it our for ya.......and even slap a wheel on my car to see what it does.........
Yours only sits in 2mm more. Not much at all. But yeh have a check of everything. Can you see +42 printed on the wheel?Quote:

sigh.
how about a 15x7.5 +30 wheel on a dc2r. will it stick out and what kind of tyre profile should i use?
similar to what i'm going to useQuote:

well, mines gonna look gangster, when and if i ever get it onn
what kind of tyre are you going to use? lol
205 xx 15 ?
195/50
how much will it stick out do you reckon?
im going to put a 195 55 on
Well like I said, with a 7 inch rim the max I would go is +40. Your going +30 which is 10mm further out, plus your going 0.5 and inch wider = 12.7mm, which is half of that either side of the wheel 6.35mm. 10mm + 6.35mm = 16.35mmQuote:

So yeh, you'll either have to get a narrower tyre or run some aggressive camber and get inner tyre wear.
Its the rear thats the problem on the DC2R. The front has a little more room, especially if you remover the inner gaurds in the front.
