FK8 Civic Type R Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread/Database!

[ChrisIssaeian]

I've got a 2021 FK8 Im gonna lower soon with RSR Coilovers. I need some help finding a wheel and tire that I can run lowered without cutting the rear and/or rolling my fenders. Im looking for the most aggressive fitment I can get with this information.

We would recommend a 255/35/18. You may need a rear camber kit.

Thank you? May I know the difference between why the 255/35 with camber arms and not 265/35 with camber arms on that specific springs (eibach pro kit)

265 runs ~10mm wider in most instances and you will run into fender issues unless you run more camber. 255 is as bit safer and more conservatively sized.

thank you for the information. Im getting 255/35/18 with a 18x9.5 +35 and eibach pro lowering kit (.6/.7) drop. Would you say go eibach or skunk2 for camber arms.

Go SPC, they make the Eibach arms unless you care about the color. Would be $100-$200 cheaper.

+1 for SPC. It's what we run exclusively for our customers.

Good choices.
I went with 255/35-19 PS4S on 9.5 ET41 TSWs, Eibach Pro springs, SPC rear camber arms. After some minor arm tweaking (-1.17) & fender liner shaving, it’s a good flush fit, no rub.

Only issues are seasons here in NW FL as we do freeze so the Mich are a no go on low30s mornings (had a few already) so…

Thinking of getting some A/S for the OEM 20” wheels and lowered, 255/30-20 would work nicely but only two choices (pricey and real cheap). If I went 255/35-20 it gets a little weird and some rub seems likely.

I run 18x 9.5 +38 lowered on coils 265/35/18 no rub and no fender modifications. I do have some camber in the front.

Sounds good thank you. The SPC rear camber arms or the adjustable control arms? And you run them at a +1 for R’s with a 18x9.5 +35 255/35/18 set up?

OP, you heard of any rubbing issues with this setup:

18x9.5 +35
265/35/18
Swift Springs
R SPC Camber Arms

do you ever go with that set up? Because I’m thinking about doing the same thing but maybe 255/35.If you did.Do you rub crazy or anything?

Are you planning on cutting the rears?

Not too aggressive by any means, but our customer's Championship White FK8 CTR equipped with TE37SL 18x9.5 +38 5x120 in Pressed Graphite, Concave Face.

We have a few sets of this size and our coveted 18x9.5 +45 Concave Face TE37SL now in-stock in this color as well as a few others.

18x9.5 +22 te37SL’s??? I saw one guy running them but I’m in stock suspension…Will they work if i cut rear fenders and bend front tabs?
