the lifestory of a DC5S...

[crashprash]

with the wheels, im srsly worried abt spoon caliper clearance and both front and rear strut clearance. i thought i would get more concavity to clear the caliper but afraid not

worst part is i cant test fit on car as is it in repairs (had small fender bender)..have to wait a week

nice tyres

wheels look awesome man that could look amazing if you can fit the spoons behind them.

edit: just saw your wheels come with caps, im disgusted at how ugly the rusted hubs look on mine atm

u 2 mate

ye the spokes are pretty thick as well.

the caps were extra but i knew the hubs would rust quickly so i had to get em...+1 over enkei :P

edited previous post..was meant to say front and rear struts not calipers

Wheels look hot PRash!

[dr.k20z1]

mm you are pushing it with that offset and size hey? might be a little tight? haha

especially with the calipers aswell

I think what dr k20z1 means is, why buy wheels with a "weak" fitment kinda. your wheels will fit fine, as if they just clear with the stock wheels being 7.5 +45. Your 9 +38 will clear fine. I Personalyl wuld have gone like 9 +30-35 offset and adjust the camber as you;ll be tracking the car in the near future right?

You can always purchase spacers in the future if need be anyways.

im pretty keen to see how these wheels will sit on your car ;p

im keenly awaiting my sapcers to come in hopefully tomorrow, as this week commingi s the last week for me to drive, so hoepfully I can have my spacers / brakes all installed

it was either 17x9 +28/+38..+28 wudve struggled to fit at rear and wouldve caused more wear/tear to hubs etc (but the concavity with that is hot :P)
stevan has 17x9 +35 and it clears everything so me being 3mm inside shudnt change that much but caliper clearance is my main worry

i really dont wanna run spacers..insurance/safety/hub damage etc...

[plAythiNG]

the whole spacers thing, i only run H&R for spacers, and all the issues u hear about spacers are from cheap brands etc.

my dad took one wheel to the smash repairs and clears calipers by a couple of mm !!! (same as oem wheel)..1 finger gap to front strut and he said might be tight fit with the guards after tires put on..any advice?...didnt check rear

[plAythiNG]

lower ur bloody car!

my rear wheels hit the trailing arm on the right side only with the +35, the extra 3mm clearance i have shouldnt bother you though cause your car wont be as low as mine, at 1 finger i think you would need about 1.6 degrees on the rear and some decently stiff spring rates which is why my car is mega fail atm.

i dont think you will have any clearance issues but it will be interesting to see how close it comes to the rear fenders, put up some pics when you get them test fitted man. when are you getting them done??

that'd just make it worse!

1 finger gap for frotn strut! didnt check rear...how come urs hits only on the right? my spring rates are 7/10 (monoflex)..do u get more clearance on front or rear?

next week..get fitted/balanced/aligned (use camber kit if need be)...if it scrubs..swap stockies on, roll guards and then swap back..unless u guys think 100% i need to roll guards? then would roll guards and get the rest done.
