DC5-R offset

[AKS200]

hey guys...

i dont have a DC5R and this should be quick. whats the offset for the stock AUDM DC5R rims?

thanks in advance

[GoldCoastDC5R]

+42

thanks mate

im trying to fit the DC5R rims on a 5TH GEN prelude and the wheel offset is 5 x 114.3 PCD, 16x6.5" Rim +55 Offset

[tofu]

the DC5R wheel actually says +55?

if the 5th Gen Prelude is +55, then the JDM DC5R wheel would fit perfect

[AKS200]

would the AUDM DC5R wheels fit too then or they different between AUDM and the JDM DC5R wheels?

JDM rim - +60
AU rim - +42

im a bit confused as to what all this means now...some people are saying it will fit and some are saying it wont.....

If the Prelude wheel is +55, and the AUDM DC5R wheel is +42, then you will be increasing the track by 26mm ((55 - 42) * 2 = 26mm) . ie. the wheels will stick out 13mm further on each side.

This will affect your scrub radius etc, and may promote a bit of "tramlining".

They might fit but the car might not feel as nice to drive.

at the moment, the car has 17's on it with low profiles and i hate the way it drives. im looking at getting CW DC5R rims or jsut go back to stock rims but im more keen to get teh type R rims on there.

thanks for the help

I reckon the JDM ones look better then the AUDM ones on the prelude!!

[AKS200]

i reckon they do too but they are so hard to find

Aussie Spec DC5 Wheels will fit onto Preludes no worries, there's nothing to be concerned about.

[AKS200]

thanks mate....now i just need to find some.

The car won't feel as good as it will on wheels with the correct offset.

That may not concern you, but it would concern me.

Kind of like saying "JDM DC5R wheels fit AuDM DC5R's just fine" .... which they do, but the reduction in track due to the incorrect offset causes some 'interesting' handling traits.

its a concern with me but i will correct it slowly...im just looking to find out if they fit and if i can get them.
