Anyone ever put 16s on a dc5?

I saw a photo of one the other day, just on the rear, they looked tiny lol

 

[tristanpalmer]

7.5 rear et30
8.5 front et45

Will the rears fit full stop? If so, do I need rolled arches?
Will the fronts fit without spacers?

17x8 et 45
245/40R17
Front fits, like a glove.
Rear doesn't fit at all! Will get tight even with Rolling.

if you roll the rear arches, you will not have a problem with them rubbing due to the camber gain in the rear under compression plus the rear wheels dont turn.

my older setup rear is 17x9 +49 245/40. car is driven on track with no issues

whats the max on the rear without rolling arches would you say?

i had 225 that caught (lowered on coilovers) but that could of been due to the tyres being quite thick

 

[mike.williams]

that i cant help with really, if you want aggressive fitting wheels the arches need rolling.

camber, tyre size, width and offset are too many variables

heres a different rear setup. 17x9 +40 with a 255/40, no rubbing but inside of bumper is trimmed

for anyone interested the fronts are +37 9j 255/40 here




you can see how there are so many variables as to what fits.

Love the look, I brought a set of these wheels a few weeks back in matt black and just off to have tyres fitted now

Nice. They were a bastard to find in bronze. I got the tyres from oponeo a few weeks back, then later ended up getting the wheels from there too :S

Was set on some Rota Torques in bronze, but happy I went for these instead.

 

[ollydc5]

Was worth it buddy they look great against the White, bet they look even better in person.
Got mine through Larkspeed in the same size, came direct from Italy for £500 delivered which I thought was great. Loads of people have the Rotas so good to see something different.

 

[Ersel]

My mates got 9j et42 rot as and he hasn't rolled his arches sits perfect just need 1/2 degree rear camber.. I'm going for 9j et25 lol

 

[Smithy23]

Anyone know the most poke you can have lowered 30mm with no arches rolled. Ive read right throu most of the posts on here and still not got a great idea.
Im thinking maybe 30 to 35mm?

Any help or pictures would be useful thanks
