17x9.5 +15 with 275/40 and 17x8.5 +30 with 245/40:



I run this setup. It is nearly perfect for me. I don't recommend you run anything remotely similar.

A 17x8 +35 fits nicely on a DC5 with a 225/45. No guard rolling required generally.

yeah i dont wanna roll my guards just yet.. thanks mate... Nice DC5

I have 17x8 +35 with 225/45 (As chargeR reccomended above).

I haven't had to do any body work to get these to fit. But you'll need to put some camber on the rear (I'm not sure how much is on the rear of my car). But I don't get any scrubbing, and there was a noticeable differance in performance from my old rims (17x7 +40 225/45)

[Timmy_B]

is drop with coilovers, or stock. cos i haven't bought my coilovers yet..

[45SET]

Mine is dropped on coilovers.

I really need to drop the front a tad... and more camber

[Timmy_B]

yeah well thats my plans atm.. after i do performance mods.. thanks for the help

[Timmy_B]

hey i found some that i like but they are 17x7 and im not sure what the offset is..
would the 225/45/17s still fit nicely with the 17x7s?

[rbk_212]

with 17x7s you'll probably be only to go as wide as 215

[Timmy_B]

oh really. ok thanks : )

[rbk_212]

on a dc5 you have the option of running a 17x8 rim, so you may as well make use of that.

what rims were you looking at out of curiousity?

[Timmy_B]

umm i have a few one in mine.. looking at Tenzo R wheels atm, i really like them..
