Offset 42

[num0021]

Does anyone have any experience with this offset on the DC5.

It's about as low as you can go i think with a width of 7" you might be pushing it with a wheel any wider on that off set? Mine are et45 17" x 7"

you will need a spacer, I've just got some buddyclub wheels at et42 and without spacers they catch the brembo's.

running 17x7.5 ET43 and 225/45 rubber. approx 30mm lowered.

comments:

Front looks funny without at least 2 degrees camber (I'm running 3 )

rear needs 2 degrees camber not to rub or you could roll the guards.

rear wheels look a bit hot-rod style without an aftermarket kit.

Other than that it's all good in my experience

 

Depends on the wheel design
Heres 17x7 with a +42

It depends on the width of the wheel as to how much the offset's size will have to do with contacting the arch.

Really any well designed quality rim with a 42 offset should clear the brembos with no trouble, the offset has little to do with caliper clearence

Thanks for your input guys. I have come across a lot of JDM wheels with this offset. So was wondering if it would be appropriate for the DC5. I am glad the offset is alright. I am not a fan of spacers.

Im running CE28s 17x7.5 +43

+42 is fine itll sit out more and easily clear the calipers how ever, you cannot lower the car too much or the rear will scrub the guards or you will have to run a fair bit of camber.

I did run a 7.5 x 18 with a +38 offset. Absolute MAX you can run before cutting/rolling/butchering the rear arches. Not recommended!!!
