Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

you can pretty much use anything on stock suspension without rubbing. Obviously, if you have a car load of passengers, going meatier may slightly rub. You'll be fine w/ either choice above.

Awesome! Thanks for the response



Lots of people run this setup. It will rub some on hard dips if you're a lone. Having passengers will make it worse.

Finally got it installed. Thanks to @kamispeed I was going to lower it but the ride is so nice. No need to worry about the little bumps even in +R mode.

So no rubbing with the 255/40? I think this is the route I'm going to go.

No rubbing at all. Alleviates the worrying about potholes as well.

(Cross post from the Titan7 thread). Mounted some TS5's to the car this weekend, 18x9.5 et45. McGard lug nuts, 265/35/18 DWS's, and eBay center caps. Going over bumps no longer feels like something exploded.

Edit: here's the link to the center caps for those who are interested.

great question, I am also in for an answer. I am planning to lower my car on swift springs and want those exact specs except with a 265/35/18.. wondering if ill rub, otherwise ill go to 18x9.5+45

I'm running 18x9.5 +45 on indy 500s 265/35/18
On swift springs . No camber pin removed up front , eibach rear camber arms set at -1.7 outback with nothing trimmed . Absolutely no rubbing issues . Took a tight off ramp at about 50 mph hooked nice and no rubbing when I did that aswell .

do you believe a 20x9 +35mm rim would fit on the type r? Since i see people are using +35 on 18s and 19s just wanted to make sure it would be possible

You won’t have a problem with +35/9” wheel. 9.5” would likely require some trimming and a narrower tire.

Just a heads-up: you have to hit them harder than usual to get them into place, but they worked great!

pics don't do them justice, but in person they are mind blowing sexy. rays' volk te37 saga time attack limited edition wheels size 18x9.5+44mm et (1mm off from our highly recommended specs of no more than 9.5" width and no less than 45mm et). mounted on them are yokohama advan a052 supplied by our partner discount tire in size 265/35/18.

pics will show both concavity (very hard to capture due to the shade of the matte black finish but proven with measurements) and most importantly - perfect fitment with ZERO rubbing and a little bit of room to play with yet.

specs:
wheels - 18x9.5+45mm et (requires 72.6 od --> 64.1 id aluminum hub centric rings
tires - 265/35/18 (runs wider the most tires in same size) and has 10" tread width as measured (vs. ps4s 9.5" tread width)
springs - eibach pro kit (soon to change to sportline for testing...then full coilovers for r&d work)
front camber - -1.8 degs negative each side
rear camber - -2.3 degs negative each side
lug nuts - kics iconix r40 black open end lug nuts with locks and no caps
ceramic coating - gtechniq c5 wheel armor ceramic coating and topped off with 2x layers of gtechniq exo v4

full review in our fb group coming soon...
