Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

[02SilverSiHB]

Folks have commented that my car look almost lowered with this size and have to ask.

yeah, that is so strange. I see other pics and it looks higher than yours. I'm not sure if it's the angle you took the pics or the type of wheel you're using.

I'm on Titan7 TR-10 (same design) with 45 offset.

Searching around and found this...if that really is on stock height, I'm getting even more ready to take these lowering springs off lol. That doesn't look bad at all.

i had my TEs with 265/35s before I put on my springs and this is how it looked. There is a noticeable gap but it wasn't super bad. IMO if you were to stay on stock suspension, a 255/40 would be better cause it'll fill the gap more than 265/35s would and it would have a closer rolling diameter to stock also.

yeah, I might be getting another set of wheels to roll on for summer tires come next season and I'll go with 255/40 most likely.

One time I got stopped by an Si owner. At which point when I got home I quickly looked at the springs to make make sure once again the spring spacers weren’t in. Just in case.

I think it’s the general tires I got. They must not be spec, they look rounder and fatter than I’d expect a 35 to be. It’s even softer, which being older now I’m totally ok with. It’s a stark contrast to how different the construction of where the sidewall meets the contact patch with the stock tires.

Price is high - over double Volks IIRC. You might as well import Modulo's at those prices. I also haven't seen availability for maybe a year now.
