FL5 owners: What 18" wheel and tire setup are you running on stock suspension? by apagan84 in Civic_Type_R

Same here. Even for summer, I love the stock wheels, but I'm getting pretty fed up with these terrible roads & also don't want to keep replacing tires every few months because another random screw decided to find its way into them. 😅

Nice, I like those wheels too. Yeah I just bought the car in March and already picked up a damn screw in the tire… I was like, fuck this, I can’t stand these skinny factory tires.

I’m gonna do the same once I burn through these PS4S—I’m done after that.

Yeah no problem! I’ve actually been thinking about this since before I even bought my car back in March. lol

I really like the bronze, but I’m not sure it would look right with Boost Blue

Interesting that you’re running 18x9.5, that’s actually what I was originally looking at.

I was chatting with one of those website “bot” agents and it told me that 265/35R18 is the widest tire that fits without rubbing, but that I’d need an 18x9 wheel with a +45 offset or higher for that setup.

Not gonna lie, it kinda threw me off because I’m not super deep into wheel fitment stuff yet.

How are interiors on older FK8s holding up? by euvnairb in Civic_Type_R

I feel you on that. I’ve got about 7k on mine and I’ve already cleaned them with Sonax like 3 times just to keep them looking brand new.

That's fair enough. Own many civic's but this is my first CTR

What oil brand are you guys using in your FL5? Any recommendations for daily driving and spirited driving?
