Wheel fitment. Serious business.
Fairly often I get people asking me about what wheels will fit their car, particularly DC5s. I thought it might be an idea to make a thread to discuss what wheels will fit our and cars what are appropriate sizes, tyres and offsets. The wheel fitment in this thread doesn't necessarily have to be extreme, crazy sized wheels and tyres aren't for everyone. If you have a nice set of aftermarket wheels post pics with wheel, tyre and alignment specs along with any modifications required to make them fit
. Also ask any questions you might have about fitting wheels in this thread.
