I don't get how people can be running wide wheels and low offset and still not rub.

I'm currently running Buddyclub P1, 7J and ET42 with a 215 tyre. The rears are rubbing near the edge of the tyre. I dont know how people are running wider wheels, same offset or less and not rubbing??

I also have -0.8 rear camber.

whats the widest realistic rear wheel/tyre without a ridiculous ''stance'' camber

my arches have been rolled.

I don't know exacts but numerous sizes of wheels have and will fit but that will also depend on the offset as well as the width rather than just the width it's self.

I have 8 inch wide rims but sure I've seen builds with 9s all round.

8 inch wide and ET43, probably get a 9" wide one on with a higher offset but you may struggle with the rear arches.

Depends in the rear settings as to which tyres but a 215 would definitely be ok. Wheels will fit perfectly

Also look at the silver car towards the top of the page... exactly the same wheel specs as you described with pictures. Wonderful thing this thread is ;)

Would this fitment work on a standard ride height? e.g not lowered. Looks awesome btw

This was my previous dc5 before she turned into a fireball, sorry for the poor pictures black wheels are a pain to capture


Have brought another set and changed over to AD08r's this time for a change, will post up once fitted. Please don't be jealous of my amazing carpet

Looking for the exact same alloy wheels for my DC5. Cannot find any dealers online in the UK - where did you source them from?
