Evolution 9 MR BBS wheels on DC5R?!?!

[yakuza]

Hi Folks:

Just wondering is that achiveable as I mention at the topic? they are same PCD as DC5R , the offset is quite good (+38) and width is 8" as i know. I really seen someone fit a a Evo 8 MR wheel on EP3 at UK.
I think the center bore would be different to DC5R.
You guys got any idea?

Cheers

Damn! It looks hot mate!
Any issue when you pull them on? Center bore size ok for Dc5?

[felixR]

The wheels drfinstely do fit! Leon tiu ran it on a dc5 at track days ! I think thr centre bore is slightly bigger but no one really runs hub rings! So u be fine

As said above, the centre bore is slightly bigger, but didn't seem to affect much, it was just making sure they were correct when you put them on and tighten the nuts correctly (star shape etc.)

Matt, so i've seen these fit on a DC5, however im more concerned about the nut used.

Obviously with OEM honda wheels, they have aball radius, where aftermarket wheels use a tapered edge style nut. I heard that mitsubsihi has a weirder/different nut... I might pick up a set of evo wheels, wanted to have this clarified. When you ran the evo wheels, did ur nuts fit properly, and were they oem . mitsubishi / aftermarket?

cheers

I used OEM Evo nuts to be safe, as they're heaps fatter and rounder than any other ones I've used.
