Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Civic Type R: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Flush, poke and tucked fitment: measure the whole tyreUnderstand flush, poked and tucked wheels, calculate how width and offset change the look, and check clearance beyond a parked side-on photograph.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.

Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
Flush road and track
- Front and rear
- 18 × 9.5 inch, ET45 · 265/35 R18
A documented direct fit in the Apex guide. Check clearance through suspension travel if the car is lowered.
Wider track fitment
- Front and rear
- 18 × 10 inch, ET40 · 275/35 R18
Apex recommends additional negative camber for wider tyre compounds. Its ML-10RT design specifically needs a 2 mm front spacer; other designs must be checked separately.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- The FL5 retains 5x120 and M14x1.5 fasteners; 5x114.3 Civic Si wheels do not fit.
- Use ball-seat nuts with original Honda wheels and the correct seat specified for an aftermarket wheel.
- Honda specifies 127 Nm. The BONOSS spacer article also discusses 140 Nm for its own installation; that is not the factory wheel nut specification.
- Confirm Brembo clearance with the exact wheel design, especially when reducing diameter to 18 inches.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.
