    He-yo guys, I just got a set of wheels in 18x9 +26. Planning to run 225/40/18 tyres and be lowered to a finger gap. Already have rear-guards rolled, I'm thinking that I'll just need to run some camber, say 2-3 degrees, to make them fit?

    Thank you
    If you're lowered to say around a finger gap, then you'll most likely need the rear guards rolled. I had 17x8.5 +32 and it needed guard rolling.

      Thanks for your advice, I think I should giveup that idea...

        With a relatively narrow tyre like that I don't think you'll even need that much camber. My car is about a finger gap at the rear on 17x9 +28 with a 225/45 and -1.4 camber from memory and I could get away with even less camber. The situation would be similar at the front.

          Well got the car back now, they gave me - 3.8 camber at the rear. Too much?

            Also just took it for a drive, seems to be either leaning to the right a bit or has a dead spot. Due to the front camber?

              just wondering if it is safe to use slip-on spacers (5mm) while at the track? I need to space out my rear wheels to stop them scrubbing on the trailing arm due to cornering load. I will be using work rc aluminium nuts if that makes a difference

                I believe ppl can use up to an 8mm spacer before it starts getting dangerous on oem studs.

                  Heey guys considering purchasing some wheels for my dc5 let me know whats u guys think of the specs!
                  17x9 +35
                  17x8 +35
                  obviously when I take it to the track I'll have the wider wheels at the front but on the street I'll have a 20 or 15mm spacer on rear and use the 9s at the back for looks and the bigger dish !

                    Honestly just keep the wider wheels at front for street or track. 9's will fill out guards better up front and 8" with +35 will be a tight fit on the rears.

                      I was worried about the 8s not filling the guards at the front but it won't be a tight fit at The rear I don't think!

                        Idk about dc5 but assume its similar to ep3. At 17x8 +32 it's flush with rolled guards and barely 1cm away from the rear trailing arm. I'm not sure how well 17x9 +35 would fit

                          x9 +35 won't fit in the rear without spacers.

                          x8 +35 looks ok. I would get the guards rolled, and a camber kit to get the camber sitting closer to -1'. If you lower it without a camber kit it'll sit at about -3'

                              My guards are rolled so that's a good thing! I have camber top coilovers will I still need a camber kit for the front? U was planning on 15 or 20mm bolt on spacer for rear is that correct?

                                My previous post was only about the rear - Nothing to do with the front. You can only have adjustable camber tops in the front of the DC5 chassis. The rear you have to buy an adjustable arm.

                                I personally would never run spacers. Honestly, I probably won't bother with any form of spacer with a x8 +35. With about -1' - -1.5' of camber it's going to be fairly flush.
