New wheels who this?!



Our customer (USA_028) and his beautiful Championship White FL5 11th Gen Civic Type R equipped with #systemspec Volk TE37SL 18x9.5 +45 5x120. As flush as it gets!



Shown in Pressed Graphite, Concave Face. What is most astounding is that this car is equipped with 285/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S with no rubbing issues at +45 offset.

Thanks! I lucked out and found them lightly used on Facebook marketplace from a fellow Type R owner. Just had to drive a bit to get them

Anyone know if I can run a +35 18x9.5 lowered on swift springs without cutting or rolling fenders?

Im lowered on Swifts and ran a 265/35 tire on my 18x9.5 +38 wheels and I did rub slightly over large bumps at highway speeds. The rub will be minor but if it bothers you it might be worth modding the fenders.
I had my fenders professionally cut by @mrsexys2k on Instagram. He’s local to Socal and does a ton of FK8s

Got fitted earlier this week.

Enkei TS-V in 18" 9.5j et40, wrapped in Michelin PS5 245 40 18. Suspension setup is currently OEM, no drop.

Here's a before/after comparison over standard - top before, bottom after

And some closeups:

Looks awesome. Can you tell the difference in driving compared to stock? Does the ride feel more comfortable going over bumpy roads?

Thanks! 100% can feel a huge difference. Steering feels lighter overall but in a good way. And yes, the 35 profile tire offers much more cushion and comfort on bumpy roads. If you’re stock height, you can even go with a 265/40/18 tire for more sidewall

I just wanted to share my powder coated wheels. I still have 4 qty 20" oem wheels for sale ( sold individually as spares) if any are interested, thanks.

Going to have to raise the Ohlins R&T to near stock height to clear this spec. I wanted both the width and the sidewall this time around. Sold my previous 255/35 tires off the same wheels
