The Short Version
- 5×114.3 with a 64 mm hub bore on every DC5, Type R and iS alike.
- Type R runs 17×7J at +60. That is a very high offset. The iS grade drops to 15×6J at +45.
- The Acura RSX shares the fitment. Same pattern, same bore, same 17×7 at +55 to +60 depending on whose sheet you read.
- The trap is the DC2, not the DC5. A 96-spec DC2 Type R is 4×114.3. DC5 wheels will not go on it.
Factory Specification
| Model | Chassis | Period | Grade | Wheel | Tyre | PCD / Holes / Bore |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integra Type R | LA-DC5 | 2001.07–2004.03 | 2.0 Type R, 6MT | 17×7J +60 | 215/45R17 | 114.3 / 5 / 64 |
| Integra Type R | ABA-DC5 | 2004.09–2006.09 | Type R, 6MT | 17×7J +60 | 215/45R17 | 114.3 / 5 / 64 |
| Integra | ABA-DC5 | 2004.03–2004.09 | 2.0 iS, 5AT | 15×6J +45 | 195/65R15 | 114.3 / 5 / 64 |
| Acura RSX / RSX Type-S | — | 2002–2006 | US market | 16–18 in | — | 114.3 / 5 / 64.1 |
As on the Accord Euro R, the Japanese tables print 64 mm where Western sources print 64.1 mm. Same hub, different rounding convention.
+60 Is Higher Than You Think
The Type R’s +60 is one of the deepest factory offsets you will meet on a Japanese sports car. It exists because the DC5 is a wide-track front-drive chassis and Honda wanted the wheel where the geometry wanted it, not where it would look best.
The practical consequence is that almost every aftermarket 5×114.3 wheel you look at will sit further out than stock. The usual window is 17×8J to 18×8.5J in the +35 to +48 range. That is 12 to 25 mm outboard of factory, which fills the arch nicely, but be aware you are changing scrub radius on a car that already torque-steers if provoked.
The iS grade at 15×6J +45 is a completely different starting point. If you buy an iS and want Type R wheels, they bolt on and will sit noticeably further in than the wheels you removed.
64 mm hub rings are required. Most aftermarket 5×114.3 wheels are bored 73 mm.
The DC2 Trap
This is what actually costs people money.
The DC2 Integra Type R came in two forms. The 96-spec (1995–1997) is 4×114.3 on a 6J×15 at ET50 — four lugs on an unusual bolt circle, which is a combination almost nothing else uses. The 98-spec (1998–2001) went to 5×114.3 on 6J×16, along with the bigger brakes. And an ordinary non-Type-R DC2 or DB8 is 4×100 on a 56.1 mm bore, which is a third pattern again.
The DC5 inherited the 98-spec’s five-lug hub and never went back. So DC5 wheels fit a 98-spec DC2 and do not fit a 96-spec, and neither fits an ordinary Integra. Our DC2 Integra Type R guide lays out all three.
One honest note. The Japanese database page for the 1995–1996 DC2 Type R prints five holes and 114.3, which contradicts the 4×114.3 figure that Japanese specialist shops give from physically measuring genuine take-off wheels — and contradicts the existence of a whole cottage industry converting 96-spec front hubs to five lugs, which would make no sense if the car were already five-lug. We believe the database page is wrong and the 4-lug figure is right, and we are telling you the conflict exists rather than quietly picking a side. If you are buying for a 96-spec, count the studs on your own car.
The Acura RSX
North America got this car as the Acura RSX and RSX Type-S rather than as an Integra. The published numbers match the DC5: 5×114.3, 64 mm, 17×7.
We could not find a manufacturer table for the RSX because it is not a JDM model and does not appear in the Japanese databases. The figures above come from US aftermarket fitment data. The specifications match; we are telling you we matched numbers rather than that we found Honda saying so.
Importing
The DC5 launched in July 2001. Under the US 25-year rule, cars built up to August 2001 are eligible now — which is a window of about six weeks of production — and everything after follows month by month through to 2031.
In practice that means the JDM Type R is effectively not yet importable to the United States. The good news for American buyers is that the RSX Type-S is already there, and the JDM Type R’s wheels fit it.
What We Could Not Verify
- The DC2 96-spec conflict described above. Two credible sources disagree; we have told you which we believe and why.
- A manufacturer specification table for the Acura RSX. US aggregator data only.
- The DC5 Type S grade and the intermediate 2003–2004 running-change grades, which we did not open individually.
