Hi all, im thinking of buying a set of 17's for my DC2 vtir but im unsure if it will fit or will i have to modify some things when i put them on. Also will my speedo be off?
another question is, Will rims that fit on a honda civic fit on my integra dc2?
the wheels of the civic would be a four stud fit and the plate on your integra vtir will be a 5 stud i think mate. Dont go 17s on the ctir, just get 15s or 16s and lower it, it will look goodQuote:

4x100= everything apart from type-r's so you're fine.
If the wheels are off an ED/EF, EG or EK civic then they will probably fit as long as they are large enough to clear the brakes. Your VTiR has a stud pattern of 4x100 the same as most early civics.Quote:

The DC2 vtir are 4 stud; 4x100 SO any wheel you buy will have to be 4x100 and I'm sure 17's will fit. Be sensible tho, 17x12 +0 will definitely not fit! hahah I've seen a couple of dc2's with 17's not sure on the exact specs tho :thumbsup:
I think 17's are too big for a DC2, and you will loose out on handling, but they sure do fill the guards nicely. Yes they will fit fine, provided the offset and width is decent.
yes
i had this dilema too with my dc2... i was thinking bout changing to 17x7 but decided to keep with the FAT FIVES... yeah boi
how do fat fives go in the handling and grip department does anyone know
I've got 18" wheels on my dc4 looks the goods and only scrapes on the front left with a passenger in the car & when steering is on full lock to the left. not sure what width they are but just make sure you have a lower profile and your speedo won't be affected to bad.
17" should not be a problem at all..
sweeeet, thanks heaps guys ima get the 17x7's
ive got 17s on mine... i want to go back to stock rims though...
id like to know this aswell...Quote:

With 17's i guess you'd need some good cambers if you're gonna get it lowered and have your wheels toed in so that they don't scrape the fenders.
I dont have a dc2 but I have a da9.. I went from 14's to 16's.. not much of a difference in handling if you get the right profile tyre.. steering is a little more jerky, you feel bumps more but its not unbareable.. just gotta watch out for pot holes in lowered cars lol otherwise massive ownage..
fuel consumption gets a little worse too because of the extra weight but only by 30-50 km in my car
is that normal?? i didn't lose any noticeable kms when i put 18s on my teg
17's are fine. most ppl on ozhonda are too self conscious about their diets & so they run 15"s on their D Series.
I ran 18x8"s with slight rubbing at the back, I tested side by side with mates going 60, 80 km/h my speedo was fine and there wasn't much difference. was running 195/40
There should be a few guys that have sexspec cars that will have ran +18"s should be fine if there is some minor guard rolling, back on topics 17"s = no problems =)
Dont know man.. maybe it was just how I drove that week.. I will check the km's after this tank see if there was any diff.. I used to get 550 and got 520 after putting on 16'sQuote:

you gotta give and take when it comes to "modifying" anyhow.
allignment and balance is important when it comes to wheels and fuel consumption aswell
17s are a good size for a dc2.. not too sure on performace though.. never had the original rims though
heres a photo of my DC2R with 17s.. dropped about 2.5 inches i think **taken from previous photshoot with the dodgy camera lol**

Oh my bad lol.
So does your 17's sit like the one in the previous post on your dc2?
How's your EG anyways?
i can't really see the height of the dc2r, better if we got a side pic. i'll take a pic of how mine sits, where it starts to rub and the mods that i had to do. my eg is aiights i got over it straight after the bought the dc, i'm gonna sell it to my cuz that went on the cruise to GOR with us. how ur teg bro? still the same?
Oh yeah fair enough EG's are good cars to start with i loved mine but moved on lol. She'll have fun with it.
Yeah it's ok atm still same but i got a few bits and pieces that i gotta put on when i get the chance and get some other stuff nothing special :p. Hush hush atm lol
