I'm about to pull what's left of my hair out researching 18" wheels and tires for this car.

[AUGM1]

I've always kept cars factory, but I'm looking into some 18's for this car with an all season tire that has better options than the factory 19's.
I'm not lowering it or anything, just need something that fits as if it were that way from the factory.
Getting confused with all the talk of hub sizes, spacers, etc.
So, what is out their that I can use?

Just use tire rack for selections of wheels and tires. Take one of the wheel specs and that will allow you to shop elsewhere.

The main thing is the bolt pattern. 5x120
Then just look for 18”s with width of 9-9.5.
Safe offsets range from 38-60.

I will make it easy for you. Get some regamaster or sw388 and the all season pilot sports

I'll make it really easy for you... follow his lead. I went with the same spec and its perfect and cheap.

Isn't there also an issue with hub size?

If you're near the West Coast or PNW specifically I'm selling a set of Superspeed 18s with DWS06+ tires, excellent condition. And even if you don't buy from me this is a really great and somewhat affordable option.

Some wheels with 5x120 bolt pattern will slightly larger hubs. You can always put on a hub centric ring so there’s no play and you’re not just relying on the lug bolts. If you use sites like Tire rack and other sites that allows you to choose wheels based on the car you’ve selected, you will be fine.

Superspeed makes wheels with the Type R in mind, with options with a 64.1 bore. This means no hubcentric rings are needed. I ran them on my FK8 and now FL5.

yeah this is not very complicated.

Look into APEX too, they even have a thing you put your car and year and will show you what of theirs fits. Easy

 

[TchnoZ33]

Don’t over think. Most sites you can input your car and year and it will give you options. I wouldn’t worry so much about the hub centric ring stuff…most of the time it isn’t needed tbh. Just my two scents. Also, for wheels I had PSAS-4 and now have DW06+. I think I prefer the DW06. But very personal.

I will say superspeed wheels offer a lot for the price point. Apex have very nice wheels that are close to OEM that look amazing. Should find wheels you want before Black Friday .
