Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

[System Motorsports]

Hey,

Planing on putting some 265/35/18 Ad09 tyres on some 18x9.5 +38 rims. Lowered on spoon springs.
I’ve read that ad09s run wide, size for size.
What do we reckon. Is it going to rub lots? A little? Or not at all?
Tia

These tires run wide and fit like the predecessor Ad08R. You should be alright, but a 255 would afford more clearance on the outside edge especially when hitting a hard dip.

Hey all, curious if anyone has attempted to mount NSX Y-Spoke wheels on the FL5. For reference the NSX wheels are 19x8.5 with 55 Offset. I have a set left over from my FK8 with 255/35 All Seasons. I'm thinking these might be a good winter option being they will be skinnier tires then OEM. Thoughts?

No photos but this is our Face-4 size! It should be relatively flush especially lowered.

Do you happen to know which center caps these are? I thought the TE37SL didn't have any center cap options.

These are aftermarket centercap adapters that the customer sourced

18x9.5 +45 TE37SL's in Championship White purchased from System Motorsports. Tires are 265/35-18 Michelins. Stock ride height. And before anyone says anything... Yes, I did goof on the drivers side rear "Volk Racing" decal. I put it one spoke off from where it's supposed to go. Also, ceramic coated these wheels with Gyeon Q2 Rim coating. Hope that will make them a bit easier to keep clean. Did the red calipers also while I had the wheels off.

This has been amazing info on here [as always] !! Thanks so much.

And now...time to bite the bullet and get the winter tires. I have decided to go with the 18s for higher sidewall. I have a question:
those of you who opted for +50 wheels... if there were 52s available (i saw that was supposedly an option)... why did you choose +50 rather than +52?

 

[1971Camaro]

okay... maybe my question was too specific by being only for those who bought +50 wheels.

So, anyone who has an opinion...

How much difference would there be (would i actually notice) between 50+ and 52+ ??
