Will 17's fit okay on a DC2?

[Chriskoss]

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's

17s no probs, looks good on the dc2 providing you lower a bit at least. because 17s will be heavier than stock you shall lose some fuel consumption, but it may not be a great deal anyway depends on your driving habits, tyre properties (also make sure inflation pressure is correct), etc

you gotta give and take when it comes to "modifying" anyhow.

[hotdc2]

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**

Did you run cambers and rolled guards?
What tyres and offset were they? Because thats pretty sweet.

Stock ITR setup and not rolled guards

will have to check what offset they are and tyres are 205/40/17

Damn! thats pretty good.
Did you have any trouble with handling or bumps and that?
