I am absolutely enamoured by the DC5 ITR Championship wheels and would love to sport a set. But I seen to have encountered a problem.
I just heard that the offset for the DC5 ITR wheels is 60mm!!! Why would the ITR have such an oddball offset?
To install these on the new '06 Civic Si, what would need to happen, what would I need to modify?
Thanks Neal,

I was contemplating to change to the EP3r pr dc5r rims when considering doing a 4-5 lug conversion some time back. IIRC both offset are in the 40s...43-45 but I'm not really sure.

If it's mid 40's, it'll be just fine then. but 60mm would mean the hubs were something like 15mm further out to the sides. Or something like that. If they're 45mm like the normal 'Teg's rims, then I'm snaggin a set.

The higher the offset tje further the rims will be inside the well. My friend drives one, if I see him I'll ask.

Lower the offset the further out the wheels will move from the car. Higher the number the further in the wheel will sit on the car. Your oe offset is 45mm, a 60 will bring it in 15mm which is about half an inch. That's a huge amount. Really don't think its going to work. I wouldn't recommend using a 15mm spacer either.

Thanks Neal!!! I do have a question past this though. Why not a 15mm spacer? When I offset the wheels in the back of a few GM trucks and SUV, like older Suburbans and Silverados(4WD the wheels in back were further inside than the front) I used custom CNC'd spacers that were bigger than 15mm, and to this day it still drives fine. Does it have to do with the FWD? Technically the steering geometry will change, but it shouldn't be too significant.
