DC5R offset question

**EG_VTEC** · 28-10-2008 09:33 AM

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

Should be able to get an idea of correct offsets here

Borrowed from CITR member - chargeR

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.

Very difficult to fit that at the rear though. Rolled and pulled guards, lots of camber (>5) and smaller tyres would be required.

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.

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

i mean too much can make the car unstable in a straight line, and then there's the increased tyre wear..?
