The offset on the DC5 is 60, but I've used wheels with 45 and its still ok.

Only thing, 18's will look the part, but will cause a small amount of performance loss, do to the weight distribution etc.

Steve, we tried dc5 rims on a CTR (EP3) at the weekend, they clear the front ok, but hit / foul the rear. Hence you would need spacers.

Ideally I want to go smaller (for track-day slippy-slidey action), but if a set of standard alloys came along to which I could apply some rubbish narrower shagged out tyres, I'd go down that route.

Incidentally, I will be the proud owner of Japanese Performance Cars "lowest milage in the country" DC5, from this Friday... it's being registered at the moment.

mj, thanks for the info. i'm not much concern with the power loss... i'm more concern towards the look of the car...
