Agreed, I was thinking this from my DC2 days.lewis87 said:I've been thinking about this lately and have thought about a smaller set of Team Dynamics or similar but I don't think I've seen a DC5 with smaller diameter wheels before?
I had an MX5 with a set of very light 14 inch BBS and a wider set of 15 inch BBS and the difference was very noticeable on the smaller wheel, the car just felt more nimble and a better drive.
Thanks, this is useful.Reggie91 said:I think it depends on the use of the car. Whether you're tracking a car or if its just for road use. Also depends on what track you would be visiting.
As a general rule, 17x8 square is normally sufficient (TGM recommend this too). If you're doing UK tracks, I found they have a fair few tight corners and a reversed stagger set up works well and helps turn in. I run 245 tyre on the front and 225 on the rear and found my car understeers a lot less than before.
Then also the wheels weight is also a deciding factor, but these wheels are generally pricey.
I‘d like to know this too. Don‘t want arch work at all - much rather keep it standard with the best choice of wheels that fit.24Lemons said:Thanks, this is useful.
Is 17x8 an easy fit without arch work?
I did think about this but some 15 and 16 inch wheels have enough clearance with the right offset.ste01 said:You've got to clear the brakes remember

This has been covered a fair few times in wheels threads on here. It purely depends on the the offset of the wheels. The front arches have plenty of room (im running 17x9 et 37 on the front).VtecPaul said:I‘d like to know this too.

For the rears if the offset is too low then you run the risk of catching the arches. Without rolling arches a 17x8 et 45-50 would be ideal (with about -1 to -1.5deg of camber)
Ditto - too many opinions and not enough actual data or evidence to support the options.24Lemons said:Thanks, much appreciated!
I have done plenty of searching, but with plenty of searching on the Internet = mixed opinions and the answer becomes clouded.
Problem with that is some of those are RSX's, which have different arms, hubs etc so can afford to have a lower offset wheel. Think the difference is around 20mm vs the DC5r.VtecPaul said:Ditto - too many opinions and not enough actual data or evidence to support the options.
I did however find a very useful wheel thread for most manufacturers and models on DC5s. May be of use so linking it again in here too.

They used 17x9 😊24Lemons said:Agreed, I was thinking this from my DC2 days.
Does anyone know the wheel specs of the Team Dynamics BTCC Integra?
