will 17" x 9jj. +17 offset fit a dc5r?
I doubt it. Stock offset for DC5S is +45 with a 7" rim. I am unsure of DC5R but it shouldn't be too different to that.
I say that will fit as ive seen 17x9.5s fit on a dc5r in person.
The right mix of camber and drop and you should be fine.
Will look hot too ;)
Hmm

Should be able to get an idea of correct offsets here

17x9.5 +15

As Q says it will fit with the right amount of camber and the right tyre size ;). That is my car pictured in Q_ball's post and those wheels just tuck with 5.something camber and 245/40 tyres. They are probably going to rub on the fenderliner clips though. When I want bigger tyres I will have to flare my guards.Quote:

wow -5 camber? wouldn't you get heaps of camber wear?
I have been running -4.6 for nearly a year and 20,000ks. Wear is acceptable and I have had my tyres flipped inside out.Quote:

isn't that much negative camber a bit overboard for a road car?Quote:

A 17x9 +17 would fit easily at the front with a 235 tyre and a bit of camber.
hahaha yeah that "other" red dc5r is homosexual with chargeR...hehehe

Are you sure about that? I am running 17x9.5 +15 with -5.3 camber and I am still able to use just as much steering lock as I could on stock wheels. I haven't measured my turning circle but I am sure any difference is negligible.Quote:

yeh, i can tell my turning circle is worse.
not too bad though, just my other half complains because it's harder to do 3 point turns.
so obviously she notices it too..lol
chargeR....the black wheels that you have.....what wheels are those??
