Any other wheels fit a DC5 ???

[gsrgeoff]

Which other 17" alloys fit the DC5 ?

What about the Accord type R ?
Or even the Lancer EVO VIII ?

Does anyone know the pcd / offsets for the DC5 ?

Cheers

5x114.3, 60mm offset

Tom at T&G Auto has a DC5 running on EVO VIII Enkies. From when I can remember, you need some sort of spacer to fill the gap of the centre bore of the EVO VIII wheel. You'll also require different wheel nuts.

It's actually 55 offset. I'm running with 40 offset on 16" rims to clear the front calipers. The offset difference has only improved the handling. It also depends on what spoke design you have to determine if you can clear the front caliper.

I'd give Julian at Rare Rims a call because he's sold quite a few sets in different sizes for the DC5. http://www.rarerims.co.uk

Would you say 38mm offset would be OK, they don't do the Buddy Club wheels I want in any higher :?

 

[jonster]

I would have thought 38mm offset would be fine. The wheels will be further out away from the hub/caliper with a small offset value.

It would be best to offer a wheel up, to be sure the spokes clear the caliper.

Thanks Jon :xcheers:

 

[gsrgeoff]

Do the CTR alloys go straight on then ???

 

[jonster]

Not too sure about the CTR wheels. I assume they weigh a tonne so I don't think that many people have tried.

Offer some up if you can.

Cheers,

Jon

EP3 rims will fit on DC5.

my cousin nicked off with my ctr wheels and put it onto his Euro-R 8)

he didnt have any problems so i would presume so

 

[SpeedWerx.net]

the manin issue of clearance is in the rear. im running 17x7 work emotion CR with a 225/45 falken azenis tire and it just barely clears in the rear. a 215/45 would be the "recomended" tire, but not for track use!

Jon - my OEM wheels have got '60' stamped inside them - doesn't that mean 60mm offset?

Here's a pic of a DC5 with EP3 rims:

 

[jonster]

I guess it may mean 60 offset. I'm surprised because my OEM's where 55. It shouldn't really make any difference.

Hopefully this thread will be useful to others, as I now have a Focus RS !

 

[aznboysrfr]

hm, so I take it a 16x7.5, +42 offset wheel (SSR type c/competition) would fit over the brembos without much of a problem, correct?

 

[EVega]

Posted on CRSX and got no response so u guys might b able help me out alittle better. I have the Brembos off the ITR on my RSX but i dont have a wheel yet. I was looking into the Enkei RPF1 17x7.5 but the offset offered close enough is a 48 offset. Will this be a problem with a 225/45 tire or should i clear with no problems.

I've just fitted Rota Attack 17x7.5x45 and they clear easily.

Had the option of et45 or et48 and was told the smaller the et No. the more clearance for the calipers.
(As I'm not gen'd up on alloy fitments I can't swear to the et size comment)

Jonster may know more.(He has 16s fitted)

I use 7.5x17 Rota Attacks ET48 with 225x45 tyres for track use and they do rub the arches a bit over bumps, plenty of calliper clearance though.
I think the wheels are fine but next time I will be using 215 tyres I don't think there will be a problem then.

I don't have any knowledge of the Enkei wheels but if they clear the callipers with an ET of 48 and 225x45 tyres they will rub the arches especially with 4 up.
