Spare Tire for Type R

[Zpeedster M]

I just got a Acura RL spare tire (rim+tire) from eBay for $80. Then a 2019 Honda Civic Jack Tool set for $50 also from eBay done & done.

Hi everyone,

Just my experience regarding the spare tire issue.

I too was looking for a cheap solution like getting a scrap yard tire from a Caddy or wishing I kept my old Odyssey spare to see if it would fit, etc., etc... Would have to hunt it down, trial fit, get jack, etc... No used Type R spare tire kits in my area, too expensive to ship one, blah, blah, blah. Don’t wanna be one of the guys on the side of the road waiting for a tow because I don’t have a spare. Massachusetts isn’t known for their nice roads.

Called the Dealership where I got my CTR and the price for the wheel kit was $240 and tire $165. Another dealer wanted $253 for the wheel kit and I though they being the biggest Honda dealer in the area would be cheapest but they were the most expensive. (Neither are Honda eStore dealerships.)

From an earlier post there was a Honda eStore link to the spare tire kit then from there I found the search tool for the Honda eStore and found a dealer close to me that offered a better price on the Wheel kit and they are ordering the tire and will coordinate mounting the tire with the service department when it comes in. I think all the eStore dealers have the same price? No hassle of ordering from an online tire place then having to bring the tire to get mounted and stuff.

Cambridge Honda (Cambridge, MA)
Wheel kit $193
Spare tire. $163

Found a 10% off coupon from another dealer they accepted. Might be able to get a discount without a coupon if you ask nicely. The parts guy seemed pretty easy about adjusting the price if only 10%.

Total of parts $320 after 10% discount

Here is the part number I have 2020 so I looked up 2020 i am assuming it will be the same, you have to buy the tire separately you can get that from tire rack cheaper faster shipping. I would not buy the part online since the shipping is expensive and takes forever
The tire size is T125/70R18 Continental
The part number includes everything alsoI have been tool that the type R trunk cover will not work with this setup since it is a bit raised therefore the part includes spare tire cover

Can you confirm if it clears the CTR front Brembos? The RL spare is 1 inch smaller (T155/70D17) than factory CTR spare (T125/70D18).

RL bolt pattern is 114.5 up to 2004.
2005 is 120mm. 17 inch wheel in the front? Will it clear the brake claiper?

That’s a nice price for that spare. Most I’ve seen are selling for more.

I wanted to keep it all factory CTR though. If it was a regular Civic I would’ve gone the route of an cheaper alternative spare.

Does that 17” rim clear the Brembos? Sorry, I know a few people have asked. Just curious. I know someone put a 2017 Ridgeline donut on their CTR and that’s a 17” rim as well but they dont mention about it on the front.

Also something weird. I have a different part number???

Is it supposed to come with the emergency nozzle?

This website shows the emergency nozzle, part number 2 in the picture but it’s odd that the emergency nozzle is the only part not listed separately? Is it an old picture and the new kit doesn’t come with it? Weird...

Did other people get the emergency nozzle with their kit?

Guess it doesn’t matter as the car comes with one any way.

Thanks!

Yeah, the number you stated is the number I was familiar with. Not until I got home with my stuff did I notice the stock number on the invoice. The fur that ordered was the parts department manager so he should know what he’s doing...should, hahhah! An internet search shows it’s a Type R spare. Don’t know why the different numbers.

You should not have a spare on the front anyways. You should put the spare on the rear and move the rear tire forward because the car has a LSD on the front.

On the parts website I see one that is listed as 06421-TGH-A13ZA
