Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

[realtorhoff]

Okay fam, I am planning on ordering custom forged wheels. I will be going 19”, as I think 19s look better at stock height since I have no intention of ever lowering the car.

I will either be running 265/35/19 or 275/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

Wheel specs will be 19x9.5 forged monoblocks.

If I will be at stock height with “beefier” sidewalls, what is the best offset to go with? Most manufactures offer +38, +45 and I believe BBS offers a +50 on their 19s.

Looking to be flush with no chances of rubbing on a 275/35 Michelin 4S.

Thank you in advance for the help,

Mike

Guys , im looking to get a set of 19x10 +37 and wrap with 275 30 19 RE71RS. Will be lowered on coilovers with front camber ball joint and rear camber arm kit . Do you guys think it'll fit without rubbing with 4 adults in car? also not planning to do any fender work.. Kindly let me know what you guys think, thanks!

You'll be fine. You'll probably rub on hard bumps & dips with 2 adults in the back seat.

Most people on the fk8 forums recommend going +45 offset max, mainly to help keep the scrub radius as close to stock (which is what keeps handling/steering feel sharp)

If you don't care for handling and care more for looks +42 to +38 is flush


As far as tire size, I would say go with a 275/30/19....the options you listed seem to be a bit oversized.


I'm also selling 19" Advan GTs if you're interested

Thanks for the reply! I think they may be oversized too, but Michelin offer the 4S in an acoustic version and I really want to try it and see if it helps with the in-cabin noise.

In regards to the Advans, those are my second favorite wheels on the market. Love a clean 5 spoke. I’ll take a look, but I have a custom set of wheels on order. 19x9.5 +45 forged moboblocks. They will be here by end of June.

Anyone have 18 inch wheels on stock suspension?

Spoon SW388’s on 265/35/18 Advan V601’s. Lowered on FL5 Swift Springs

 

[Vito.FL5]

I ordered 18x10.5 ET47 apex to fit 280-650 R18 slicks up front

I hope it fits. 280 slicks are as wide as 295 A052´s
