Were they definately 16" ones not the 15" export versions? I had seen a photo of the JDM 16" rims on a dc5r, but I guess they could have used a spacer.

That would need a spacer right out over the caliper :lol:

But sure ive seen 16s on a DC5 too?

I put a set of the 02+ accord 16" rims on my DC5R. I had to uses a 5mm spacer for the spokes to clear the brembos. There was no problem with circumference though.

Why did I do this? I had a bearing noise and swapped the wheels between the two cars to make sure it wasn't just tyre noise.
