DC5 ITR rims on 06si...

duy2006si · 09-25-2006, 04:24 PM

I was wondering if these rims would fit on my 06si? I think I was also told that I would need specific mm spacers? What tire size should I use?

Well yeah, I don't know if I searched well enough. I know their 17's, expensive cause it's jdm, I think I remember somebody from before telling me that their 45mm and the stock si wheel 60mm spacing? I don't understand that.....

Expensive... yes.
17's... yes.
However, the ITR rims are a 60mm offset, when the SI is 45mm. Doesn't sound like much, but when you install them on the civic, they will not be flush with the fender. They will look "sunken in."
But, they do look nice, especially on a NBP or Figi.
There is a thread right now that is on TSX rims on the SI. TSX rims are a 55mm offset, and you can see from the pictures that those are not flush with the body lines of the SI. The ITR rims would be in a little further. You could put some spacers on there but that reduces the effectiveness and integrity of the wheel on the car.

To make it easy for you: tsx rims and wheels on SI?
The DC5 wheels would sure look sweet though. I was considering them

duy2006si · 09-25-2006, 09:07 PM

What do you mean by effectiveness and integrity of the car? Well I have a silver si so I know it'll look sweet. Can I maybe compensate the sunken part by maybe getting tires that stick out a little bit?

The integrity of the wheel's attachment to the rotor. Any spacer of any thickness between a wheel and where it should attach is a risk. The vast majority of any OEM dealers will NOT put spacers on your vehicle if you ask them to mount them, because there is an inherent risk. That said, there are some people who have been using spacers without any detrimental effects.

No, wider tires will not compensate for this. In fact, because your tires will be closer to the inner fender lining, a thicker tire than OEM may even complicate the issue (read: possible rubbing issues).

ROTA makes a comparable knock-off. Great wheel and a great quality at a much friendlier price.
