19” TE37 Ultra Wheels Installed on Boost Blue Civic Type R FL5

[elusiveaura]

how far off is your Speedo due to having this tire size on 19? Looking it up, it looks like may make your speed be around 58 when doing 60. Due to going from 30 series to 35

Thanks! 255/35-19. Or else 265 would probably rub

Interesting, thanks!

I have aftermarket VMR V710 19" +45 wheels and 275/30/19 Conti Extreme Contact DWS06 all season tires on my FK8 which fit perfectly IMO. I have the original 20-inch wheels and tires (900 miles on them) that came on the FK8 which I will put back on to trade the car in.

Will be interesting to see how the VMRs fit the FL5. if they don't fit well (sounds like they won't), I'm sure I can sell them.

How wide are your wheels? I've thought about your exact tire setup on the FK8 with 19x9.5 +45, stock suspension. Are you stock as well? No rub? I have the DWS06+ and think 275's would look great. Any issues with tramlining or worry of hydroplaning which I heard could be issue with that wide of a tire? Thanks!

Wheels are 9.5 inches. I failed to include that. All stock suspension and no rub. And no other issues, except the inner tire wearing out quicker than the rest of the tire. That tire is a great tire in the rain, and yes, they look great.

I think these wheels will fit the FL5 after all. If they will ever deliver my car!!

Do you have a low shot from rear like OP's? Curious how the 275s look on FK8. I imagine pretty wide and beefy. Hard to find shots from that view. Most everyone has plenty of side or angle shots, but I'd love to see a shot from trailing car perspective.

I do not but I will try to get one when I am out for lunch today.

Apologies @FTX FK8, I totally forgot that in anticipation of my FL5 delivery this week, I had put the original wheels and tires back on the car as I will trade it in as part of the deal. So, no can do a pic. Bummer! Sorry for that.

BTW, I am picking up my FL5 today!

What the beautiful car and the wheels.I have ordered the same wheel(te37 ultra 19x9.5J +36)and try to install 265/30 r19 tires, but I worry they would probably rub.Thanks.

Hey guys, been a while. I came from an FK8 back in 2017. Back at it for round 2!

I just installed some 19x9.5” +36 Ultras.

My son made this video, please check it out and let’s get him some views!



Some pics

Is the car lowered ? Wheels are Ultra M-Spec?

a bit of a late post but did you have any rubbing with this setup?

I can’t speak on behalf of OP, but I ended up with these exact wheels from the OP’s relative and it wasn’t rubbing on his fl5. I ran the wheels on my DE5 and didn’t run into any rubbing either. Ran both 265/30 and 255/35

we’re these on stock height? Did you have to roll the fenders? OP mentioned his fenders were rolled from factory, does it mean he rolled the fenders?
