Hi im looking to buy new rims for my car, i just want to know how much work i would need to do to fit 16x8 +0 offset on a dc2 vti-r. Or just to stay safe and go +20 offset.
Can someone also post pictures of the 2 offsets on the dc2.
Thanks.

I had xxr 521 16x8 +20 it just sits outside the guard by couple of mm but if ur running coils and ur suspension is stiff it shouldn't scrub. I was running oem shocks and lowered springs and was abit bounce at the rear so just rolled the rears and it was fine. Was running 205/45 tyres
oh alright, you reckon i would need a camber kit if I was to get +0 offset?
probable would coz ull be pushing the rim out more
The problem i am having right now is that http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/16-XXR-53...ht_1812wt_1163 is cheaper than http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/XXR-531-1...ht_3466wt_1139
Up to you man, don't forget about the tyres, if ur goin to run a camber kit, ur going to wear out your tyres
More, really your choice
true, im just gonna go with the +20 offset to save me more money in the long run and less hassle. Thanks guys for your help
16x8 +0 195/45 tyres maxed out camber/lipped all round, lowest setting on coils,relocated rear bumper tabs http://firesport.com.au/images/219080_2012071533.jpg http://firesport.com.au/images/217846_2012060038.jpg drives like ass
Hey mate make sure you roll your guards aswell even with the +20 offsett it will scrub,, and also for tyres get 195/45 so it'll stretch giving you more clearance and look herraaa frrussshhh =)
and there is a 60% chance you will need camber kit also =)
DC28OY do you by any chance have any pictures with the rims and tyres? I just bought a set of 205/40 yesterday cos they were cheap, hopefully it wont be too bad, if not i will just sell them and get 195/45.
my brother teggy is running 15X8 +0 with 185/50/15 with camber kit maxed out no scrub goes through tries like no tomorrow im going to go 16X8 +20 on my EK think it might handle better too the teggy just isnt the same anymore
Update: I have received my rims and got 195/45/16 tyres straight away, I had to roll my guards at the rear more cos of intense scrubbing, now it just scrubs abit on sharp turns and dips. The current problem i have right now is that it scrubs at the front at times, not sure what to do cos there is nothing to roll. Suspension i am using is OEM shocks with king springs super lows.
Here is some pics of how it sits:
