This is a guide to make your life easier on what sizes of wheels and tire fit and do not fit on the FK8 Type R. Most of the pictures where taken from CIVIC X wheel fitment thread. It is a very informative thread. If you have any doubts about a certain wheel and tire fitting the type r, I would suggest to go there. Hope you enjoy the video as always.
ET38:
- 265/35 on 18x9.5 et38 will not rub if you twist front fender tab inwards while lowered on swift springs.
- Best way to avoid rubbing on a 18x9.5 et38 is running 255/35r18 tires.
ET35:
- I did not touch 18x9.5 et35 since some people state that it rubs at stock height with 265/35 tires and some say that it does not. For sure this size of wheel and tire lowered will rub but at stock height it may be a 50/50.

Some info from my experience with 18x9.5 +35. With a 265/35 tire, it may or may not rub at a stock ride height depending on tire choice. Some tires, such as pilot sports, tend to be wider with thicker sidewalls. These will rub on the sidewall over bumps with passengers, or over large bumps without. I currently run this spec with PS AS4 tires and had to roll the front and trim the rear for clearance. I plan to eventually lower the car on swift springs and will be monitoring carefully for any rubbing when I do.

With 255/40 Speedo is correct and way better mpg and also more comfortable but I do rub in the rear. Currently doing research on where and how to trim but I can’t find any thing good. I only rub in one spot and I don’t want to trim because I’m scared it’ll cut my tire and I also don’t want to trim the whole fender because that’s where the wide body flare hangs on to.

Tomorrow I'm getting some TE37 Saga SL's, 18,9.5 +38, if I go 255/40, do you think that will affect my handling or torque steer? This video was super helpful by the way, thanks man!

@autointern7371 2 жыл бұрын

There is a bit more torque steer, which is given with the lower offset wheel. Its seems to be more pronounced when at very low speed and accelerating hard out of a corner. If you are already carrying speed into the corner, there is no big torque steer at exit. As for handling it will depend on tire. Extreme performance summer tires have stiff sidewalls so turn in may even be better than stock contis (i have RT660 and they have better turn in). I know for max performance the pilot sport 4S are great and you wont have a problem. I don’t even think the stock contis gripped that well so the above-mentioned tires will grip much better.

I plan on buying a type R and currently have a 2015 wrx with some 18x9.5 +38 avid wheels that I love and brand new 255/35 continental extreme contacts. Unfortunately they are bolt pattern 5x114 so I would have to run a 5x120 adapter. Would these fit a stock Type R keeping in mind the adapter also adding some buldge.

@autointern7371 Жыл бұрын

I can’t answer this since I don’t know that offset will the adapter take it to. Already +35 is aggressive offset. Most likely will rub depending on the tire compound (255/35).

Hi thanks for the information, I am kind of confused your set up is 255/40 on a 9.5 wheel and the tire looks flat on side, I though a 255 on 9.5 will be stretched because a 9.5 wheel is actually 10.5 thickness?

Some people told me that’s the size I need for flush and that the 9.5 will pole out a little. So I’m your opinion which will actually give me the closes look to a perfect flush? 8.5 or 9.5?

Has anyone noticed the steering is less responsive when switching to the 18x9.5? I got the enkei ts5 with 255-40 toyo proxes sport all season. The ride is much smoother than the OEM wheels but I still like the way my car handled more before I swapped.

@autointern7371 2 жыл бұрын

It’s because of the increase in side wall in an all season tire. I got 255/40 but went with extreme performace summer tires (RT660) which have very stiff sidewalls. Thus, handling the same and better than OEM.

@autointern7371 2 жыл бұрын

I went with 18s since they are lighter. You can also run 19s if you prefer the look. I know that for 19s fitment 19x9.5 et44 with 265/35 is a safe fitment that is flush and wont rub. I would do a bit more research with 19 fitment if trying to be more aggressive than et43-45. Also i would not run 255/40 on 19s, would only do it on 18s. Also, 18s are cheaper if that is a factor.

Hello, What you think about about 245/45/18 michelin pilot as4? Are higher side wall even good for corners? Thank you.

@autointern7371 2 жыл бұрын

You will feel the car more sluggish around corners. Bigger sidewalls cause less steering response into corners. Thats why the original type R tire is a 30 of sidewall. The way to counteract this is by having a stiffer sidewall: Ultra high performance tires (AS4) < Max performance tires < Extreme performance tires.

Want to keep stock suspension on the car and was looking at a 18X9.5 35mm rim. If I run the 265/35 tires with it, will this work? Cant seem to find anyone who has changed from 38mm to 35mm not sure if the difference will still work

@autointern7371 2 жыл бұрын

So i am not sure about 18x9.5 35mm. It will fit… but some people say it rubs and other say it does not rubs (on stock suspension). Look at some side profile pictures as well since I have noticed that the rim pokes out a bit and some people do not like that. You can check on Civic X forums.

They weight almost 30 pound each. Tire sidewall makes the ride feel the car is going to break whenever you hit a bump (plus the wheels crack easily since they are cast). Also the sport contact 6 are not the best tires. The offsef is waaayyy to conservative and make the fitment sunken in. So the best first mod is getting lighter better looking wheels with better tires.

@@Chappers.Gaming most people go with 18 since they are cheaper and have more weight reduction benefits (depending on the wheel). You can go 19s as well.

Yeah its a fitment guide. You can adjust camber to lower the car more and get more aggressive offsets or wider wheels, but that is about it. If you wanted to see suspension set-up for track this is not it. If you mean suspension geometry relating to offset and torque steer I did mentioned it. Again, I just kept it simple and informative 🤷🏽‍♂️
