I have found a set of wheels that i like quite a lot, and they come in a couple of sizes and offsets, can you please let me know which is the best bet for a DC5?

7x17 ---> ET35,43 and 50

8x17 ---> ET33 and 43

I was wondering if the ET50 ones would be ok, maybe with small spacers, or would ET43 be fine? Also im guessing that the 8" wide ones are too big?

Thanks guys.

7x17 ET50, no spacers.

You'll get away with the 7x17 ET43, all the others will probably rub.

Will the ET50 ones not be too close to the brembos? Is there any way you can be sure that a wheel will clear them? I gues if you get a higher offset and there is a problem you can always space them out...

Depends on the pattern, not just the offset. OEM ones are ET60 remember. The spokes need to be dished outwards from the hub to the rim to give more clearance.

Yes see this is what i am worried about, theres no real way to know for sure without getting them is there?

What offset Work emotions does unit 8 suplly for DC5, as i know they do those in ET47 which should be ideal?
