Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

[zelmo]

I wanted to point out that here are some measured widths at 263/35.

Bolded the widest to narrowest measured, and heaviest to lightest tire.
Sorted by width.
Range from UHP to Extreme.

Manuf - model: tread width, weight
Yokohama - Advan AD08: 10.1, 28 lbs <-- wide, wow!
Federal - 595RS-RR: 9.8, 28.5 lbs
Michelin Pilot Sport - 4S: 9.7, 25 lbs
POTENZA - S-04 Pole Position: 9.7, 29 lbs
Falken - AZENIS FK510: 9.6, 25 lbs
Kumho - Ecsta V720: 9.5, 28
Continental - ExtremeContactSport: 9.4, 24lbs
General - G-MAX RS: 9.3, 25 lbs
Kumho - Ecsta PS91: 9.3, 26
Kumho - Ecsta PS31: 9.1, 25.3 <-- for those scared about rub, this looks like the narrowest tire


I purposely bought a set of G-MAX knowing that they measure narrow for a 265.
I thought the s-04s wore wide, damn AD08s must be crazy.
Michelin run wide and lighter by 3.5 lbs (damn), that is some magic right there. Falken close behind.
S-04s are heavy (older design).

Very informative. Thanks for the info!

With an offset of +45 the wheel will sit 7mm further in from the fender giving you plenty of clearance. Everyone I see with that spec is running a 265/35 lowered on springs zero rubbing.

Finally got my rims, will take better pictures later.
TE037 6061 19” 9.5 +36 On 255/35/19.

Stock height, no plans lowering since it’s my commute car lol

The rear rubs need to trim n cut the metal piece since my offset pretty low.

Wow. Great wheels!

 

[TypeR1105]

Quick question guys, were you guys able to add extra coverage to cover aftermarket rims? Ameriprise won’t since I’m going “down” to 19” so I may switch. Thanks!

sounds like mud tires on really smooth black top, but with just a bit of bumpy-ness, you won't hear the tires. yes, these tire are loud.

I actually took them off and replaced them with quieter tires. So I'll be posting in the classifieds soon.
