i was thinkin about putting some 17's on my DA with the 5 lug type-r swap, anyone have suggestion for the wheel offset i need? i just got some rims from a buddy but i think they are gonna stick out. they came off new 5lug civic Hb si. what offset would someone use if buying wheels for 01 type-r?

I believe the factory offset for Type R wheels is +45

50

Hmm, got any pics? I'd like to see it. And what tires are you running with those wheels?

Just saying an offset is not only going to throw this guy off, but its also misinformation.

Offset and wheel width go hand in hand. Play around with this http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

So sure, the USDM ITR offset is +50, but its also only 6" wide.

The factory offset is 48 directional dont let anyone tell you different

these rims came off a brand new HB si that is 5 lug. they are buddy club rims 17x7.5. with 215/40/17 on them right now. im gonna use some new 205/40/17. i'll post pics as soon as its daytime. 48 directional, what way is that?

???

The factory offset is 50. Not sure what you mean by directional.

LunchboxZT

Hmm.. 17"s on a DA, I'm not feelin it

Now, JDM Type R 16"s on your R swapped DA would be baller

Well the guy i baught my r said he just got new tires and they were 48 directional and he said 52's would not work im not sure bout 50's but he said 48 fit the best on the stock itr wheels..

Re-read the post above from KOALA YUMMIES. As he correctly notes, stating the offset is meaningless unless you also state the wheel width. That's because the offset only tells how far off the wheel's center line is from the surface where the wheel mounts to the hub. If the wheel is wider, you may need to re-position the center line (change the offset from stock) because you have a lot more room in the wheel well to handle the additional width on one side (the outside or the inside) than the other.

well go look at my wheel and tell me how much you love them k.

see, it looks like its already sticking out. and that with no brakes on it!

that doesnt make any sense...you cant change the offset of a rim...a rim is casted to its offset by the factory. you can change how it sits by a spacer...a tire doesnt change the offset either, i never heard of a 48, 52 however...what part of the size are you talking about?

original poster did you swap out your knuckles for itr ones, or did you do it the correct way and swap over the hub to your stock DA knuckle?

i bought aftermarket axles and had them use type-r hubs that where turned down to fit a DA. so im pretty sure thats the same as using stock type-r hubs. they wouldnt work with new axles.

crxgator

ok you did it the correct way...however i really dont think you should be worried about ITR's offset since you drive a DA. your stock offset is what matters. from the looks of the pics it will probably stick out a bit, but since you are probably lowered you wouldnt be able to tell due to negative camber bringing the upper part of the tire inside...

yeah, i put some rims and tires on the back and set it down on the ground. the front looks a lil better. but it still looks like its gonn astick out some. keep in mind theres no rotor between the hub and wheel.

edit: i think im just gonna try and give these wheels back to guy i bought them from, and get my money back.

Tires do not have offset. Not sure what the hell you are talking about here?

It might be worth noting that the ITR hub sticks out from the knuckle 5mm more than the stock hub. Not a huge amount, but should still be factored in.

I mention this because I too have thought "what would be the best offset to go with on my DA with 16x7, 5x114.3 wheel?"

16x8 +32 offset all the way around w/ 215/45/16 RT615's
