Hello, ive been trying to figure out if theese alloys would fit a DC5 without any problems? dc5 on spoon springs?

Width seems lil bigger than the information ive looked at but i dont rly know much about tyre / wheel sizes etc.

Straight no they wont sorry buddy.

The pcd (spacing between where the holes are drilled) on the Teg is 5x114.4 and those are 5x120 so not in the right place.

Thanks, another question for you all if u dont mind

What about them? http://www.hotlinemotorsports.com/1...x-matt-black-red-lip-alloy-wheels-p-2433.html

what is the diffrence between

PCD 17" 4x100/114.3 ET45 Multifit
and
PCD 17" 4x100/114.3 ET42 Multifit

The ET42 and ET45?

In the link above that site seems to be 100-200 cheaper than the rest but doesnt state a PCD size. However there looks like there is multiple holes, or will the correct PCD still be needed? The other sites that sell this alloy at a slightly higher price offer a choice of PCD that i listed above^^

The PCD listed there are all 4 stud. Your car is 5 stud.

It lists there as

4x100 etc that means 4 holes 100mm apart. Your car needs 5 holes 114.4mm apart.

Suggest you have a read of something like this:-
http://www.nice-wheels.co.uk/pcdandoffset.html

Ideally the offset you should look for is at least +45 as the standard wheels are +50 i believe.

If you go for a lower offset consider the spoke design.
I have a set of +42 offset volk racing wheels that fit the DC5 fine clearing
the brembo calipers but this is due to the fact that the spoke design flares outwards.

Interesting read and ill be using my new knowledge to find somthing after i eat dinner.

If i was to go for 18 inch would my car require any extra work if lowered 25mm?

this subject has been widely covered try the search,

beware of the width as that directly affects the effective offset

 

[Aly]

So from what ive gathered to fit my car and avoid rubbing when lowered 25/30mm i will need:

17x7
et40-50
5 stud
114.3 PCD

Is there anything else im missing?


So a tyre size for that will be 215/45/17, which is the standard alloy wheel size?

yep you will be about right with those specs,

7.5 wide and et 45 is a good fit and quite a std size for aftermarket wheels, if you fancy ROTAS then there are various fitments available,
