For those that don't know HRC is also working on a line of aftermarket parts for the FL5/DE5. Hopefully it includes aero componenets as well.More has been shown with the HRC FL5 Rally XP car. Stated it will have Rally specific rims and CSF dual oil coolers. Not mentioned but in the pics is a manual hand brake

Still front wheel drive here, buuut...
MITA Motorsports FKS wheel, 18X9.0 , ET +45, and sitting on Pirelli P Zero 275/45 ZR18 tires, on stock OEM camber and suspension.
Before anyone asks...
Yes, it rubs. Next time I'm definitely going with a 40 sidewall on this wheel.
Can't forget the RokBlokz FL5 Rally Mud Flaps.
Thought I was the first to Unslam my FL5...
Never thought Honda would actually do it, too!

That looks real good..I have a set of 18 inch wheels sitting around..I am thinking something like 265/45/18..That will add 1 inch to the diameter I have right now

It is a nice smooth ride compared to stock FL5... until I have to brake and turn. Then I get the ZippaDee Do Da's. Watch out when turning into a sloped driveway or lot.
Keep in mind the 45 sidewall is pretty Maxx Chonk, and fills the wheel wells sitting still.
Not a whole lot of room for suspension travel.
Tires this size eliminate the option to drive in "Comfort" suspension mode... at least with this wheel offset (+45) and OEM camber.
Disclaimer:
Just sayin. I did this for Science, and I reached the limit.
Consider your camber, suspension, wheel width, wheel offset, and tire width, say 265 vs 275, before deciding to go with a 45 sidewall.
The Unslammed ride height is great, but I am driving like a grandma.
Next time around, on this 18X9.0 ET+45 wheel, I am definitely mounting 275/40R18 tires.
The 45 sidewall is just a bit too tall.
But hey, y'all do y'all, and (shameless self-plug incoming) you're welcome to post the photos in my Civic Unslammed thread here on this forum.
Cheers.
