Those look awesome! Are they ball seats or tapered? Hard to tell...

Thank you!! These are tapered but GRP offers both applications.

Update...
Swapped my 275’s for 265’s and wahla!
No rubbing at all; lowered on Eibach!
More pics coming soon!!

Hi again, I got my wheels Friday and my tires are coming in on Tuesday, I am also waiting for the GRP titanium lug nuts to come in next week so I am all set. I do have a question, did you buy the original Honda TPMS for the new wheels or aftermarket?

You don't need to buy any kind of tpms sensor. It's all monitored via the abs system.

@sysjl is correct, the FK8 doesn’t use a sensor in the rim to monitor TPMS.
My SSR’s came with aluminum valve stems which worked perfect!

Ok, thanks for the info. I am looking foward to feel how it handles. In two weeks I am going again to a dyno again to see if the reduction of unsprung weight and wheel size has any effect on whp.

275/30/19 requires rear camber kit
265/30/19 no issues.

Hi, do you need 265 tires in the rear, only if your car is lowered?
Mine is stock suspension but same, maybe later I will lower it!
Best

Yes, my FK8 is lowered on Eibach ProKit.
If lowered anything bigger than a 265/30/19 will rub.
If not lowered I've seen guys on 255/35/19 for more sidewall.

I'm running 255/35 with no issues on stock suspension. 265 probably wouldn't be an issue since it isn't that much larger.

Possibly...but it doesn't take much. The slight difference between the 275/30 & 265/30 was just enough to eliminate the rubbing issues I had with R-00057
