Motegi MR924 (53mm offset) from tirerack with 245/35/19 tire
Or
OZ Ultraleggera HLT (53mm offset) from tirerack 245/35/19 tire

If you are planning to stay as close to a 60mm offset just look for the factory tire width to prevent any rubbing (8.5” width)

...I gave up trying to be oem exact and got a 45 offset 9.5 width 18” wheels with 265/35/18 tires
Thanks, @bbdave I wouldn't be so strict with sizing unless I can find scientific results that torque steer aren't being impacted by going to a majorly different measurements on this car. Right now the goal is to find something that keeps close to OEM "performance" without going insane worrying over the thin lip on the OEM 20s

Hi guys got a question was gonna buy the oem bmw m3/m4 18” wheels from a guy that has it on a Civic type r . The spec on the wheel are 18x10+40 running 275.40.18 michelin in the front with 18x9+29 with a 255.50.18 in the rear. He told me no rubbing but I’m not sure, what do you guys think? There’s another member on here that has the same wheels but he’s running 265/35 tire in the front and 245/40 with no rubbing. Love the wheels but they come with this tire setup won’t split just wanna make sure they don’t rub. Thanks to anyone that can help

Can someone provide tire+wheel numbers that can produce the closest zero scrub radius as OEM but on 19" wheel configuration?
OEM Type R wheels from the previous gen (FK2) are 19x8.5 +60. That’s exactly what you’re asking for. Or NSX front wheels are 19x8.5 +55, so they are 5mm off of the stock CTR offset. Other than that, Motegi and OZ have the +53mm offset options as already mentioned.

Is this using the Eibach pro? How’s the ride quality?

Any rubbing with the 40 series tires? I have swift springs (not installed yet) waiting on wheels to come in around Nov. Same specs 18x9.5 +38 offset. I was thinking more on the lines of 265/35-18 or 255/35-18 tires though.

This is kind of random question and sorry if it was asked before....for those of you that went with smaller rims but stayed with the stock suspension, did you all get an alignment done?

Slight rubbing on dips and hard turns. If I cambered the front and rears in then the rubbing would be nonexistent.
