Wheel size for DC5S?

[SiR CRX]

I'm getting a DC5S in a couple of weeks and want to get some wheels straight away. I have always loved the look of the Ings DC5 and want a similar look for mine. I had a browse on the Ings website and it had the specs of all their cars. The site said the Integra is running VOLK Racing GT-V's in 19x8.5 +40 offset. The problem is that I can't find this offset in the 19x8.5 size anywhere. Maybe they were a custom jobbie but something tells me these aren't 19 inch rims. Maybe a few of you could take a stab on what size these are and also what offset. I am also considering getting some dish happening after checking out some of the DC5's in the picture thread. If you were to go with some wide wheels, what offset and size would you get?

they look like 19s 2 me... dc5 r pretty chubby lookin cars with big guards so anything below 18" looks pretty small.

Ive actually got my mind set on a DC5R early 2009 n hav been lookin round 4 some rims 2 suit that. Id prolly go 18"s... siply for the performance factor... dont think ud wana go bigger... but if u check out some show DC5s they usually have 19s or even 20s on them.

Dish makes rims look smaller so ud hav 2 go 19s at least (if ur goin 4 looks).

Hard 2 say from that pic but the rims look like 19's 2 me, wouldnt b surprised if the offset is custom. i rekon ur prolly better off gettin 18/19x8 anyway... if they come that size.

Goodluck man, if ur car turns out anythin like the 1 in the pic... DAMMMN!

Remember the JDM DC5R is running +60 standard wheels which the INGs website car is based upon.

Which means the hubs sit out more.

Stock AUDM is +45 and running +40 wheels will only sit a tad bit out more, considering the size and width of the wheels you may need a more agressive offset.


So in theory should be running like +30 or even +28 offset so that the wheels dont hit the suspension or rub against the chasis.

Thanks guys, very helpful comments. So if I wanted a bit more dish I should drop the offset below +28? Sorry, I find offsets a bit confusing

no he's saying not to go lower than a +28 offset. and with wheel size don't get bigger than 18. u could pull off 17's as long as they are wide enough.

17inch +43 is the best for DC5R

No its not.

I had that set up and if you want to lower with camber the inner tyres or wheel rubs or hits the chasis / suspension.

+35 to +38 is decent for DC5R.

this link says the rims are, RAYS / VOLK RACING GT-V [ F 19 X 8.5J +40 R 19 X 8.5J +40 ]

If you looked carefully they are using the JDM hub set up which is +60 , so that set up is like running +26 or so on out +45 hub.

18's for the performance factor?? hahah

Just to clear any confusion (in case there is any) I think Chi is trying to say that the AUDM setup with a +40 rim will sit further inside the guards when compared to a JDM setup with a +40 rim.

If wanted a bit more dish, go for a lower offset rim. The amount of dish that a rim gives is generally proportional to the size and offset of the rim.

FYI, a 8.5" +37 offset rim will just clear the rear guards with a light fender roll and -2.5degrees camber. With a slightly more aggressive roll, you should be able to fit a 8.5" +30 rim with the same camber.

17inch +43 is the best for DC5R

What makes you say that this is the best for a DC5R?

17inch +43 is the best for DC5R

Best in what way? Best if you want to run tiny tyres? Best if you want your rims to be sunken into the guards if you lower your car? best if you like your rims to have a super flat faced look? You must qualify your statements.

This is with a 235/45 tyre by the way on a car that is pretty low at the back. No gap between guard and tyre when the car is viewed from the side.
