Base DC5 Wheel Fitment

**IDV8** · 02-06-2013 11:24 PM

First time switching up my wheels on my Base DC5, thinking of wheels that are 17x7.5 and 5x114.3/e35/73 - Would I have any issues with that? Also in regards to tyres how would I pick the correct tyre spec?

May sound very noob but I've seen some 17" wheels with a fair bit of tyre wall showing but then I've seen another 17" wheel with minimal tyre wall showing. Thanks!

Thanks man! What about the tyre wall thing? Or is it just what happens with the bigger you go? Eg; 16" wheels have X inches of tyre wall, 17" have X inches of tyre wall etc.. or is there a way of picking that?
Another example I'd seen was a Holden ute which I thought looked strange, probably had 18-19" wheels and what looked like about 1cm of tyre wall showing.

EDIT: Tyre profile I believe it is
