an offset calculator says:

7" +45

to

9.5" to +38

INNER CLEARANCE: 25mm LESS

OUTER POSITION: extend an extra 39mm

All i need is camber yeah? lol

And to make sure the wheel will clear the strut.

Also depends on your suspension setup, hight and alignment settings. Personally, I think it would be a tight squeeze.
If you want concave, maybe look at a 9" wide rim with an offset < +30?

Also are you doing this for the rear as well?

[daz]

OK guys, im deadset getting wheels now

Work XT7
18x9.5 +38

in bronze!

My car is current sitting on 17 inch wheels witha 215/45 tyre.....

What size tyre/and profile can i run on these 18 inch bad boys? I dont want tyre stretch, as i do enjoy a bit of spirited driving!

CHeers!

Are you dead set getting that spec XT7?

With 9.5" +38 your rears may not clear the trailing arm. AND depending on what coilovers you have, your fronts may hit the struts.

You are better off with 8.5" width wheels.

[plAythiNG]

i want the concave look lol!

im dropped on buddyclub N+ coilovers.. if that helps.. i also have 25mm sapcers LOL... if that can help clear the susssyy LOLOLOLOL

ok 25mm spacer so it will be 18"X 9.5" +13

Here is my car with that spec but +12......LINK

Rear looks absolutely silly. Needs MEGA camber.

[plAythiNG]

Yeah, i'm not going to runa spacer, was a joke.

Can 9.5 wide fit witha +38 offset?

[plAythiNG]

Daz, i just seen your link.. hot wheels LOL!

Even though im getting 18x9.5, same as you, your offset is so freakin' low! will my wheels still stick out that much? and how much camber did u run>

Yes the wheels will stick out that much if you use those spacers.

I never got them to fit my car (it was more of a test fit). ChargeR has already outlined what you need to do to fit wide and low offset wheels.
The Xt7s come in a 18"X8.5" +38, +32 or +25. The first 2 would sit nicely on a DC5 with a bit of camber and rolled guards.

[plAythiNG]

yeah, im considering the 18x8.5 with the offset of either 38 or 32, unsure stil

can someone claify if the 8.5 XT7 rim has concavity?

concavity is more to do with a lower offset rather than width?

[plAythiNG]

Hmm, well JDM Concept told me otherwise... either way, i jsut want concaavity. but i dont wnat it in the expense of not being albe to full lock turn the DC5, as we all know how it has such a poor turning circle!
