Honda Civic Type R FK8 (2017-2021) Wheel Fitment Guide
The FK8 Civic Type R uses a 5×120 bolt pattern, a 64.1mm center bore and M14×1.5 lug nuts with a ball (radius) seat. Every factory wheel is 8.5″ wide at ET60. This guide covers 2017–2021 US cars, with notes on Brembo clearance, scrub radius and the rear fender flare.
About this guide: Fitment data is compiled from owner builds on CivicX and r/CivicTypeR and customer cars in wheel-maker fitment galleries, cross-checked against vendor fitment documentation. Use it as research for your build; ride height, tires, and alignment are still your installer's call.

Factory Wheel & Tire Configurations
Every US FK8 left the factory on the same 20″ wheel; the 2021 Limited Edition got a forged version in the same size, and Honda sells a 19″ forged accessory wheel. The high ET60 offset tucks the wheel in to limit torque steer.

Platform-specific fitment notes — FK8 Civic Type R
Rear fender flare and scrub radius.
The FK8's rear quarter has a metal flare under the plastic lip, so 10″ and wider wheels and offsets below about ET35 can hit it under compression; rolling the fender and adding negative camber are the usual fixes. Lower offsets also add scrub radius and torque steer.
Brembo brake clearance.
The factory Brembo front calipers need at least an 18″ wheel, and spoke shape matters as much as diameter. Every setup on this page is 18″ or larger, and caliper clearance is confirmed for your exact design before forging.
Lug nuts and seat type.
Honda's factory lug nuts are ball seat. FMB machines FK8 Type R wheels for 60° conical-seat nuts by default, so a new set runs conical M14×1.5 nuts. If you want to keep your factory ball-seat nuts, tell us when you order; otherwise the wheels are machined for conical. Every FMB set is bored to the 64.1mm hub, so no hub rings are needed.

The FK8's defining setup: 18×9.5 at all four corners, documented on well over 200 owner cars. ET45 is the bolt-on flush fit, ET38 sits a little fuller and is the single most-built offset, and ET35 is the most common aggressive street choice. Many run at stock height; lower rows push toward the rear fender flare.

For owners who want to keep a 19″ look while losing weight. ET35 and ET45 are the common offsets, mostly on 255/35R19 or 265/30R19. Several stock-height cars report no rubbing; the lower offsets and wider tires are where rub reports start.

Our Process
What happens when you build with FMB
Built to the exact spec, not the closest one on a shelf. The setups above come from real FK8 Type R builds, and we CNC-machine every wheel to them directly. If a build needs a spacer to reach its offset, we machine that offset into the wheel instead.
- Choose your setup.
This guide is built to give you what you need to pick a spec with confidence: documented FK8 Type R builds, tire sizes, and how each one fits. If you still have questions, we're happy to help before you order.
- Engineering verification.
Our manufacturing partner confirms wheel specs, including bolt pattern, center bore, brake caliper clearance, backspacing and load rating.
- Render approval.
You approve the design and final specs before we move forward with production.
Our fitment guarantee
Every set is guaranteed to mount on your FK8 Type R: 5×120 bolt pattern, bored to the 64.1mm hub, machined for 60° conical lug nuts (or your factory ball-seat nuts if you request it when ordering), and made to the exact width and offset you approved.
How a setup sits on your car also depends on ride height, tires and alignment, so choose with your plans in mind.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
What wheels and tires came on the FK8 Civic Type R?
Every US FK8 came on a 20×8.5 ET60 cast wheel with 245/30R20 tires. The 2021 Limited Edition used a lighter forged wheel in the same size, and Honda sells a 19×9.5 ET60 Modulo forged wheel as an accessory. Most owners downsize to 18×9.5, usually at ET35 to ET45.
What are the FK8 Type R's bolt pattern, center bore and lug torque?
The FK8 Type R uses a 5×120 bolt pattern, a 64.1mm center bore and M14×1.5 lug nuts with a ball (radius) seat, torqued to 94 lb-ft (127 Nm). FMB machines wheels for 60° conical nuts by default; if you want to keep the factory ball-seat nuts, tell us when you order.
What aftermarket sizes fit the FK8 Type R at stock ride height?
Owners running aftermarket wheels at or near the factory specs typically report no clearance changes at stock ride height. The most documented stock-height builds are 18×9.5 at ET45, ET38 and ET35 on 255/40, 265/35 or 275/35 tires; ET35 is where occasional rub reports start on lowered cars.
How do I read the offset rows, and what separates flush from aggressive?
Each card is one wheel size; each row is one documented build at its effective offset. The Front and Rear figures show how far each lip sits outside the stock 20×8.5 ET60 wheel. Because the factory ET60 tucks the wheel in, even common flush setups sit well past stock; the card notes say where rubbing starts.
Will 18-inch wheels clear the Type R's Brembo brakes?
Yes, with the right spoke design. The factory Brembo front calipers need at least an 18″ wheel, and spoke shape matters as much as diameter. Every setup on this page is 18″ or larger, and FMB checks caliper clearance for your brake package before forging.
Why is every setup on this page square?
The Type R is front-wheel drive, so owners and vendors run the same size at all four corners. That lets you rotate tires front to rear, which matters on a car that wears its front tires hardest. No staggered setups are documented, so none are listed.
Do I need spacers on the FK8 Type R?
Not with the right offset. Some owners run spacers to push a wheel out; every spacer build on this page is listed at its effective offset, ET45 plus 5mm shown as ET40, because FMB machines that face position into the wheel. Spacers also need longer studs or nuts.
Does the FK8 Type R need TPMS sensors in new wheels?
No. The Type R uses an indirect TPMS that reads wheel speed through the ABS sensors, so there are no sensors to buy or move. After a wheel or tire change, recalibrate the system from the vehicle settings menu.
What winter wheels can I run on the FK8 Type R?
Most FK8 owners run a narrower 18″ square for winter, such as 18×8 or 18×8.5 at ET40–ET45 on 245/40R18 or 255/40R18. Those sizes clear the Brembo brakes and keep the tire diameter close to stock. The 18×8 card includes documented winter sets.
Which cars does this guide cover?
This guide covers the FK8 Civic Type R sold in the US for the 2017–2021 model years, including the 2021 Limited Edition. All FK8s share the same hub, brakes and body, so every card applies to all of them.
Will FK8 wheels fit the FL5 Civic Type R?
Yes. The FK8 and FL5 share the 5×120 bolt pattern, 64.1mm hub, lug nuts and Brembo brakes, and the popular 18×9.5 ET45 fits both. The FL5 has wider fenders, so it takes aggressive widths a little more easily. FL5 setups are in the FL5 guide.
