Default 60mm offset

is there anyway that I can run a 60mm offset on a integra I understand that I will probably have to use spacers but thats fine as long as it doesn't look like a lowrider.

I know i've seen a ITR with rsx wheels and i'm pretty sure those use a 60mm offset.

any help is appreciated.

thanks,
SEAN

I used 55mm wheels from a Prelude on my R and they fit fine except at full lock (like when doing a U-turn) where they would rub on the inside a little. I was also using 225 width tires, so that might have also contributed to the rubbing. A 10mm spacer would make 60mm offset wheels fit perfectly. Where you'd get 10mm spacers is another issue. Anything from a 7mm to a 15mm spacer would probably work fine.

OEM wheel studs may not have enough tread sticking out to be safe with a 10mm spacer..

USDM DC5 use a 45mm offset wheel. The JDM DC5-R uses a 55mm offset wheel because it has stock Brembo brakes. I have no idea where you heard the RSX uses a 60mm offset. There's no way it will clear the strut with a 60mm offset on a USDM DC5.

On both vehicles, RSX and DC2-R, a 60mm offset wheel will be tucked far into the wheel well if it was able to fit. A 60mm offset might be able to work on the DC5-R, but i guess it all depends on the wheel width also.

so my wheel will be tucking in so a 60mm offset with a 10mm spacer will put the wheels at a normal look.

any help would be apreciated as i'm trying to buy these wheels this week.

can I comfortably use these on my dc2?

thanks

What size are the wheels and what size tires will you be using?

You would have to ask an actual DC2 owner because i drive a RSX Type S. Will a 50mm offset wheel work in your situation? Well that would all depend on the wheel size and tire size you're looking into. Remember though, with a 10mm wheel spacer you will need longer wheel studs. The lugs won't have enough turns on the stock studs. Good luck.

16 x ???

EDIT:

This is in regards to fitment on an ITR, correct?

If not, please post this in the Integra forum as the non-ITRs and ITRs use different offset wheels.

3 problems...

DC5-R has a 60mm offset, so the person you corrected is right.

You said that it is because of the Brembo calipers, that the DC5-R has a higher offset than USDM DC5. But everything else the same (dimension wise), a lower offset will give you better spoke-to-caliper clearance. It will PUSH the outer face of the rim further out to the sides. So you're logic is backwards.

I am not a DC5 owner, yet I know the car better than you do. Lame.

Ok smart guy. First off, the Brembo hub pushes further out (towards the outer fender) further then the Type S hub. Therefore they use a 55mm offset wheel to fit into the fender well, not to clear the Brembo calipers. When did i ever say they use a high offset wheel to clear the caliper? I said they use the high offset wheel because of the Brembo brakes; not because it's used to specificly CLEAR the caliper.

(Second, there are numerous DC5 owners at clubrsx WHO HAVE the JDM DC5-R wheel and have stated that it's a 55mm offset, not 60. Go check it out yourself.) Edit: I take this part back only because i was mislead by other members.

Looks like you don't understand simple english. (Reading comprehension owns you.) It's ok though, but don't take your frustrations out on me. I was only try to help this guy out.

Sorry. Like i said earlier, i was only trying to help you out. Looks like it's "Mario" who wants to attack other people with comments like, "I am not a DC5 owner, yet I know the car better than you do. Lame." Tell me that little comment at the end was called for.

...with misleading second-hand information.

It's only natural that you get defensive, after being proven wrong in a public forum. Sorry about that.

Getting back on topic, in the odd chance that Yoshi doesn't come through. I'll also try installing the DC5R rim onto my 98spec JDM 5 lugs.

That's real funny. That coming from a guy who was proven wrong by my previous post up above. If i remember correctly, you were trying to prove something about me saying they use a higher offset wheel on the DC5-R to clear the brembo caliper? Wait, that's right; I said no such thing in the first place. Don't act like you know more about the DC5 chassis just because you're installing DC5-R wheels on your DC2.

PS: I was wrong about the offset and I admitted it. Now who's the bigger man?

On topic: Yoshi, are you going to be using wheel spacers? Isn't a 60mm offset a little too high of an offset to be using on your DC2-R?

EDIT: I'm just adding these quotes so you won't keep on rambling about something else...
