putting 20s on DC5

[SU88UR]

OK so ive managed to put in 20s on my DC5:

20x8.5 with offset +40 and tyres of profile 225/35. I can turn the front wheels nicely without scrubbing - no probs with the front. The rear - the wheels almost rubbed the wall inside the guard (next to where rear springs are)

now I wanted to know if the following will fit:
20x8.5 but with offset +45 (i.e. wheels will go sit inside a lil bit more) and tyres of profile 235/30 (i.e. lower profile but wider)....

anyone has experience of putting 20s on DC5? I plan to slam it once these are on (i will custom lower it by compressing the springs), so i will defeiniintely need to roll the guards etc but what are your thoughts/experiences on this?

Roll your fenders and camber your wheels.

Its good to see you wrote up or original post with a fair bit of information.

So the car hasn't been lowered yet? 8.5 +40 is fairly aggressive for a DC5, I have 17x8 +35 on my DC5R. The rear tyre is slightly tucking, with a fair bit of camber (Not sure exactly, but about - 1' to -2') and its only a few mm away from the guard.

But if the inside of the rim is fouling on the suspension, you'll want to push it out more, so a higher offset is the way to go... then you'll have to worry about he guards

did you really need to camber the wheels on your....err... DC5? its only 5mm difference (from +40 to +45), and another 5mm (225 to 235)

if you want to push it out then youll have to go with lower offset...the lower your offset is, the more your wheels will stick out...

Hey i had 20' on my DC5. 225/35, with coil overs the back had a nice camber but too low on the front and the wheels would rub on the guard.

I stand corrected... what was i thinking.

Why do something so very silly?
