Honda Civic Type R FL5 (2023-2027) Wheel Fitment Guide
The FL5 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. The factory wheel is 19×9.5 at ET60. This guide covers 2023–2027 US cars, including the 2027 refresh, with notes on Brembo clearance and front liner contact.
About this guide: Fitment data is compiled from owner builds on CivicXI 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.

OEM Setups
Factory Wheel & Tire Configurations
Every US FL5 leaves the factory on the same 19″ wheel, and Honda sells a lighter forged version in the identical size. The high ET60 offset tucks the wheel in to limit torque steer, and that tucked look is the main reason owners go aftermarket.

Each card below is one wheel size, and each row is one documented owner build or vendor fitment-guide setup at its effective offset. Spacer builds are listed at the offset we would machine into the wheel. Front and Rear figures show how far each lip sits outside stock.
Tap a setup to jump to its full card. Fit: Bolt-on = documented at stock ride height with no fender work reported · Lowered = documented on lowering springs or coilovers · Not reported = owners didn't say. Sources = owner builds (including customer cars in vendor galleries) and vendor fitment-guide setups documented on that card.
⚠️Platform-specific fitment notes — FL5 Civic Type R
Front liner contact and scrub radius.
Below about ET38, or at 10–11″ widths, the tire can touch the front liner tab at full lock on lowered cars; bending the tab and adding mild 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 FL5 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.

Was this guide helpful?
Let us know how we did on Google.
Your feedback helps other owners find these free fitment guides. It takes about 30 seconds.
Built to the exact spec, not the closest one on a shelf. The setups above come from real FL5 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 FL5 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 FL5 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.
What wheels and tires came on the FL5 Civic Type R?
Every US FL5 comes on a 19×9.5 ET60 cast wheel with 265/30R19 tires; Honda also sells a forged Modulo wheel in the same size. Most owners who go aftermarket downsize to 18×9.5, usually at ET35 to ET45, for cheaper tires and more sidewall.
What are the FL5 Type R's bolt pattern, center bore and lug torque?
The FL5 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 FL5 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. Documented stock-height FL5 builds include 18×9.5 at ET45, ET44 and ET38 on 265/35 or 275/35 tires, and the vendor ET53 and ET58 setups are listed with no modifications.
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 19×9.5 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 FL5 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 FL5 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 FL5 Type R?
A narrower 18″ square is the usual FL5 winter choice: 18×8.5 or 18×9.5 around ET38–ET45 on 245/40R18 to 255/40R18 tires. Those clear the Brembo brakes and keep tire diameter close to stock.
Which cars does this guide cover?
This guide covers the FL5 Civic Type R sold in the US for the 2023–2027 model years. The 2027 refresh changed styling and equipment but not the wheel, hub or brakes, so every card applies to every model year.
Will FL5 wheels fit the FK8 Civic Type R?
Yes. The FL5 and FK8 share the 5×120 bolt pattern, 64.1mm hub, lug nuts and Brembo brakes, and 18×9.5 ET45 fits both. The FK8's rear fender flare is tighter, so aggressive FL5 setups can rub on an FK8. FK8 setups are in the FK8 guide.
