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

[DustyDan]

Cant seem to find anyone who has ran a 40 series sidewall and is lowered on springs. Anyone have any info on whether its driveable/rubs? my assumptions is that it does, but i havent found anyone who has actually tried.

My winter wheels have 255/40/18 tires on them and I have eibach pro kit springs that I have the time to install now instead of waiting for spring time

My FK8 got stolen so I'm getting an FL5! So I need some 18s for pothole protection as it's my daily.

What are my options for 18x9.5 ET60 wheels?
I do not want to stick out more than stock. ET55 if need be, but ET50 is too much.

Does anyone have a picture of strut clearance? I'm assuming if ET60 19x9.5 fits stock, then 18x9.5 ET60 will too.

Must I buy custom forged?

I purchased 100 different shades of powder coat white to try and match it to my paint….anyone interested in this? Lol.

Would love to know if you find a close match to Championship White.

That looks much better at stock height than I would’ve expected. Is it poking with the stock alignment settings?

 

[Robo7]

This is if I black out the edges…you really can barely tell that there is any color difference except for one of them has a slightly different texture and one of them is lighter by a little.

Yeah the first 2 look identical to CW. What are the color codes of those samples and who makes them?

Yeah there is a slight poke. Hopefully it doesn’t rub once the springs go on

I'm pleased with the result.

How did this not get more comments lol. This is freaking sexy. Looks so good!

FL5 distant cousin wheels purchased from @System Motorsports (highly recommend them).

Haven't seen too many FL5's/DE5's running this wheel so wanted to share - hope this helps with your decision making. Spent way too much time than I care to admit going through this thread before purchasing lol.

Lowered on H&R Springs (springs not settled in yet when pics were taken)

Thought about running a 40 series tire but am happy with the extra sidewall and "cushion" the 275/35 provides. 40 would've been overkill for local roads/conditions

So after looking through 100 samples of different shades of white for powder coating, I think these 2 are the closest. Number one is called off-white-II and number two is called snow bunny. Company is prismatic powders.

I am planning on trying something on a set of wheels with off white II but likely not till March or April.

Also, three looked close but then I put it with the other two and it was much too light so I didn’t really think it would work.
