Genesis Coupe Brembo 11th Gen Civic Wheel Clearance Help!

[Canuoe]

Hey everyone,
Was wondering if anyone has done this swap on the 11th Gen civic yet. I kind of dove head first into this and bought a set basing my research off the forum threads for the 10th Gen. Everything bolts right up and I gotten all the correct equipment. The issue I am having is the wheel clearance, I'm currently rocking the RPF1s 18x9.5 +38 and I was hoping it would clear and if not I would run a 5mm spacer, but I had no luck with both. Does anyone have any wheel suggestions that would fit this DIY kit? I was looking at the Evo 10 (Non-BBS) wheel as the face is slightly concave to give me more clearance or the Wedsports 105TCX in 18x9.5 +38, would that be able to clear it? Any input would be appreciated, Thanks in advance!

Thanks, but I’m looking for the wheel clearances. I got everything to work caliper and rotors wise.

I went through this about 8 years ago on my 10th gen Si. The GenCoupe Brembos are nice but trying to fit wheels over them is a bit of a nightmare. I too had a set of RPF1s that wouldn't work. I ended up settling on a set from Konig + spacers but I unfortunately do not recall exactly which style they were.

Thanks for the feedback! Funny enough I am going the Konig route, I'm looking at the Ultragrams or the Hypergram in a 18x9.5 +35. I've contacted Konig and they were nice enough to let me know if the calipers were able to fit based on a template I was able to find on the forums here. I've reattached it to this post if anyone else out there is interested. Both wheels should work, my buddy actually has Hypergrams in the same I am going to try out this weekend to see if they fit. I am basing this off of one picture post on fitment industries. https://www.fitmentindustries.com/w...ergram-tein-lowering-springs-cosmo-muchomacho . I'm hoping that it would work, so that I'll be able to pull the trigger this weekend to get a set, and sell my RPF1s, which is a shame because I really like these wheels. I'll report back my findings to see how it goes.

I'll be test fitting new wheels this weekend and I'll upload some pictures then, but if you're looking for this retrofit. It's been done on the 10th gen, you can find in the link https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/using-genesis-brembo.37072/.

Damn, Was gonna tell you if i saw this sooner. Yes it fits. ANd also it would fit the significantly larger Kia Stinger Brembo too.

 

[nttran98]

Im doing the full fit testing this weekend if things goes right. Will test with both genesis coupe and kia stinger. Will sell 1 pair for 350 but not sure which one yet.

Thanks for the info! I was able to test the Hypergrams and they did fit with at least 12-14mm of clearing, and I'm buying Konig Ultragrams 18x9.5 +35, specifically the A profile as it allows for BBKs. I wish I was able to jump on a good set of Evo 10 wheels I saw for $300. Do you have anymore pictures of them on your car? Might use them as spares if I can find another set for a good price.

THey are great, stiff. not too heavy (21lb i think) but very well made. I got a flawless set for $150. Gotta buy the lugs tho (owner gave it to me for $10) so out of pocket $160 Total.

You can DM Konig the profile and they will courtesy check it for you btw. I did this with something else:

Thanks! I did do this but I was still unsure but I’m pretty confident now after doing the test fit. Nice fitment on the wheels as well, did you need to use spacers?

additional question, I was on YouTube and I believe I saw your comment about the shims for the calipers. Did you end up using them?

Did you also use rotor centering rings, so that there wouldn’t any play? If so which ones did you use? I’m trying find some but I don’t see anything other than the slick fab kit.

appreciate this info
