    DS2 Question

    Hey guys,

    I hate to start a thread to ask a simple question, but between googling and searching r3v, I haven't found the exact answer I've been looking for.

    I have a bone stock 90 vert, and I absolutely love the look of DS2s against our cars. My question is this:

    I don't have the means, the space, or the funds to complete a full 5 lug swap correctly, but I have the means to acquire a set of 4x100 to 5x120 adapters that are 20mm thick. These are the thinnest spacers available, as far as I can find.

    Will a set of DS2s fit on a stock suspension, with lowering 2-2.5" in the future? If i decide to bag it (pipe dreaming,) will they still fit? I'm currently running bottlecaps with 195/74-14 BFG A/T TA KO tires, and they rub just enough to pull off the undercoating at the rear of the front fenderwells at absolute full lock.

    I know a lot of the fitment issues are solved with different tire sizes, but with DS2s being either 17x7.5 or 17x8.5, it doesn't exactly give me a whole lot of wiggle room.

    Thanks!

    So, I've found this wheel offset calculator at JRowny.com, but I'm pretty sure that 77mm measurement is incorrect. Does anybody know the actual measurement? I can't find an accurate vertical hub-to-fender distance for either the front or the rear, and I'm currently away from my vehicle

      Yes, it will work ! 205 4017 in the front and 215 40 17 in the rear the final offset will be +21 front and rear. With a 2 inch drop it will look great but will need a fender roll in the back .....I would also roll the front while there, it couldn't hurt.

      I also happen to have a clean set for sale and I am willing to ship! Check my for sale add in the wheels for sale section.
