Let me know what you guys think of my choice.. Also links for all the parts are in the description.

[@clintpopham5691]

But I love the Type R content... Have a full bolt on 2017 #00256 CW.... 384WHP and 391lb/tq It's a fun car got the same wheels as you too couldn't go with a better pick

[@clintpopham5691]

I'm on spoon springs... Whitelines antilift kit (make sure you get an alignment) 27won rear motor mount 27won intercooler 27won exhaust Eventuri intake Rv6 catless downpipe Hondata for my tuner. Acuity full shifter upgrade Same eBay steering wheel Rally armor red flaps Mugen push to start Mugen visors Mugen tail lights Same side markers but clear Spoon mirror and side mirrors You got good taste ;)

[@TORQToolbox]

@@clintpopham5691 that's badass man

[@deepncsu]

Awesome video! Very insightful. Esp the last section about scrub radius. Choosing tires and wheels for the Type R is definitely more involved than other cars, esp because of the complex suspension/chassis geometry. In addition to the things you mentioned, Honda has also used their steering knuckle thing to counter torque steer. I might get 19" wheels instead of 18", only because I do not plan to lower the car at all. I believe that 19s will fill the wheelwell better :) Do you recommend a particular offset range for 19" wheels? Is there an online calculator which could help? Or, how about a tire with higher sidewalls? Like, maybe a 255/40 on 18" wheels? 265/40 might cause rubbing.

[@Shoookiez]

Derek Robinson @ IMW is the king of these cars, your best bet.

[@mingusbreeze]

Those are real nice setup cars already and it's nice to see the improvements you've made. Thanks, man.

[@blueleaf3406]

Your choices are amazing. You're doing everything the same thing I have done or thinking of. Keep up the great work.

[@KAnE3o1]

One of the most logical youtubers out there. Thanks for all of the detailed information and the links!

[@6speedRWD]

You have my dream setup! Great job with all the research you put into it.

[@numvienthongsuk4684]

My goodness!! You’re so informative, I love it! I’ve been searching for the overall close to stock but a bit more aggressive wheel/tire setup. You pretty much answer majority of my wondering mind in one video! I’ve search and search, your video just confirm my decision. I can go hibernate now. Lol And by the way, beautiful car you have sir!

[@tsunami6253]

I've purchased myself a CTR earlier this year and really want to keep things close to stock as well. Like the content and information in the video, I can tell you spent a lot time trying to put together a setup for your own car as well.

[@slydnhayn]

Didn't know you had a car channel. I'm a fan/subscriber from your tactical toolbox channel and recently got a Civic as my beater car. Thank you and look forward to more of your content

[@jblamires]

I think that video set a new benchmark for quality regarding the FK8. Outstanding content and presentation! Subscribed.

[@TORQToolbox]

Dude! I really appreciate it brother! Thank you man

[@alekdamyanov375]

The wheel/tire combo + offset looks absolutely perfect!!! And those are the exact wheels I want for mine :)

[@yomny7713]

Good stuff, very helpful explanations and point of views, with the springs pre and post wheels.

Really informative and great editing on those shop shots! All that's left is to buy a Civic Type R next haha.

[@vietusa74]

Thanks for the in depth explanation on why you chose the mods you did. Great video.

AWESOME setup...I had a similar setup in mind once my 2021 Phoenix yellow TypeR or 2019 over 2020 still debating but I got plans which I would be sharing from day One...😎👍🏿

[@wozzyyt]

Hey man I left my first comment on your Full Bolt Ons video a couple weeks ago. Was going through and looking at your older videos and I gotta say the editing on this video was sick. The pans, transitions, the wide angle to the close up. I mean this was a sick friggin edit (tryin to keep it PG-13 lol)

[@sdoismil]

Awesome! I have the Titan7 TS10 on my S2000, love those wheels. The bronze is awesome, wasn't available yet when I ordered mine! Type R is coming out super clean👌

[@shaunchristensen4386]

Another great video!! Your car looks so good!! I enjoy each video!! I bought a 2019 Sonic Gray Pearl TypeR exactly a year ago and it has been so fun!! I put some 18” Enkei ts-v wheels and I love how they fit!! I put some I bought some Rally Armor mud flaps as well!! Keep up the great work and content!! God bless!!🚙🚙😀😀👍🏽👍🏽

That's Awesome Shaun! I think the Gray looks sexy

Thank you so much brother

Wow awesome content and editing Very inspired to get a type r.

[@ulf_brynjar_viking1574]

I know I'm late to this video, but on the side marker video I commented about wheel options and you said to wait and see what you had picked out. I'll just say it was definitely worth the wait, great looking wheels and the color with that red looks great.

[@scnorris629]

I love that he actually drives around for a month or 2 before posting the video to tell us what he thinks instead of just driving it down the street and posting the same day

[@luisrosario9862]

I am not a Honda guy at all, but your Type R looks so clean that I had to watch the video! Great video! Suscribed!!

[@TORQToolbox]

Thank you so much Luis! That means a lot brother

[@johnvenable5638]

I have the exact same considerations you mention. I had eibach springs installed and I want to put volk 18x9.5 te37's. I'm hoping they come in a 45 offset. This video is ironic because you've described exactly what I'll be doing to my CTR. Except I'll be going with Army Trix valvetronic. But you got my spec perfectly. Thanks for your impressions and info. Great video.

[@TORQToolbox]

That's Awesome John.....the volks do come in +45 bit.ly/3bqeWRB I'm really glad the video helped brother

I just purchased a RR 19 CTR. Thank you for your videos, they're inspiring and helps me with what I want done to my car!

That's awesome man, I'm happy to help

[@justindaniel5959]

nice review! i like the beefy sidewall and stance! .

[@mariosalazar4466]

Just came across your channel and I love how organized your videos are! So much good information. I would like to know if you can provide your sources for the +45 offset recommendation to avoid torque steer. I am thinking of getting the TE37 SL, but I can't find them in +45 offset or higher. I really like the wheels, but I don't want to introduce torque steer either.

[@beansie5493]

Love all the information ....thank you. Love the type R.

[@mappyfrappy]

Very informative. Thanks for passing it all on.

[@AirGunTerminator]

That b roll was insane, cleanest type R out there

[@TORQToolbox]

Thank ya brother, ai really appreciate that man🙏

[@MrJjburgess11]

I've had my type R for a month. Definitely planning on get 18s for it . I live in the north east . Our roads are garbage. I'm constantly paranoid about bending the stock wheels on a hole. Gonna run a 255/40/18 tire. Should ride nice and safe.

[@jeremyjones2191]

Best looking type r I've seen so far. Great choices! I came over from your gun channel. I really want a type r but can't really afford one new and was thinking about a new si

[@TORQToolbox]

Hey what's man! The newer SI's are awesome man

[@jeremyjones2191]

@@TORQToolbox I've been really looking at them but what would you pick a new si or a used 17-18 r with 20-30,000 miles? Stock r of course I don't want one someone has already modded and probably beat on

[@christopherlyness3857]

Awesome review, great detail. What are your thoughts on a 40 sidewall tyre with this setup?

[@bobsmith-qz2pv]

Holy shit that's gorgeous! CTR is goals in life

[@TORQToolbox]

Thank ya Bob!

[@Nicholas_Luvell]

Dude love your videos and I will say that on my own type r i have some 18x9.5 wheels with a 36 offset and I run them on a Falken Azenis tire. Its a 265/35 and i don't have issues with torque steer I was really happy that I don't have to fight it like my old car lol I really heard a lot about the torque steer at first, but it's actually not like the way it sounds like it would.

[@williedooh5900]

Listen I absolutely love ur vids man everyone who does these type r vids seems like they just have unlimited amounts of money I am a broke college kid who Managed to get my dream and need normal mods us humans down here can afford

Love your vids! Type R owner here 🤘🏼

Thank you so much Michael... I really appreciate it man🙏

If i had a type r it would look like this, so gorgeous

This is the best overall Type R bolt-on video available! To clarify, the 2020 front grill is a direct replacement on the 2019? Thanks, bro!

[@akeofalltrades]

Really beautiful set up. What are your alignment numbers? Camber front and rear specifically. Thanks!

[@chain2001]

Very comprhensive..... This shoud be a few hundred thousand sub channel!

[@jasoncarpenter4116]

Your camera skills are on point! I was seriously expecting you to get the gun metal grey color wheels to semi match the carbon fiber inlays on your car, Regardless of that your Civic looks sick!

[@TORQToolbox]

Hey thank you Jason... I was definitely torn between bronze and gun metal

[@ymfc5327]

What an informative video. Thank you! Do you know if the camber was off by much when it got aligned? Just wondering if I need to purchase camber arms for a 1 inch drop.

[@directeurgeneral7503]

I’m running 255/40/18 bridgestone on fastwheel 18x9 with a 40 offset and i think the setup is perfect , not any torque steer and it looks great.

[@KinGxLos]

amazing video thank you for this.

[@JoeZhang]

bro that B-roll is fireeeeeeee

Love your videos much love

[@ChrisHondaProductions]

Great info nice vid !!!!

[@roberthall6178]

I bought the RS05RR wheels, 18x9.5 +35, they finally come in next week, curious to see if the torque steer will be introduced. I also have Swift springs sitting in my garage but I already knew that I didn’t want to install them on my OEM wheels because the fitment looks weird. I’m kind of a car noob, just curious as to why you decided to buy the Megan Racing camber arms?

[@harsimranthiara1702]

very helpful! thank you

[@alecyerganian]

I'm looking into getting the same suspension/wheel/tire set up as you, but was wondering how much difference you've noticed with the speedometer. I've been doing some research but couldn't find out if the odometer would also be impacted. What's your take on it?

[@taitbutler6421]

these wheels look just like the BBS CiR i put on my boost blue 2021 FK8 this week! mine are 19.9.5 +40mm perfect fitment no rubbing and super agressive!!!

[@georgediaz8118]

loving the set up man !! im definitely doing the same thing was wondering … do the camber arms also fit year 21 ? on eBay says 17-20 just making sure before i order

[@Dmelexuss]

Hi, awesome video!! Do you mind sharing your camera and recording set up?

[@TacticalToolbox]

So much yes!

[@mjuy15]

I have a 2019 type R and love this setup. However, I might’ve missed it, but I was wondering if you could explain the Camber Arms and why you chose to go with them. They’re a pretty large price point and want to ensure I know what I’ll be spending my money on. If I don’t get those camber arms, will I run the risk of torque steer?

[@davidx19]

I just got a Type-R and this channel has been a blessing. So much valuable information delivered in such an organized and easily understandable way. Great video!

[@juliomedina8252]

Looks great!!! What did you set the camber arms too, so the torque steering would be eliminated

[@williamcrabtree]

Excellent vid🤘🤘👍👍

[@TORQToolbox]

Thank you brother!

[@MrRiskyZ]

Hey man knowing what I know now I think I would go with a AEM infinity for your ecu/ tuning solution you’ll buy one time and it’ll do anything you ever want to do

[@TORQToolbox]

I've heard great things about them, I might have to try it in the future

[@alexlopez2995]

Okay, I just want some clarification. With the 18x9.5 wheel and 265/35 tire, you are not rubbing or you rub on bumps? Im looking to get a similar setup but I am like you, in that I do not want to cut, trim, or roll anything. Are the camber plates required?

[@seanobrien7430]

Are you running TPMS sensors? Didnt hear that in the pricing breakdown.. Great vid!

[@alichaudhry12]

looks great, does this setup have any effect with three passengers on board?

[@speedisf]

Great job nice video amazing 👏 👍

[@Iegend17]

Nice video man. I am getting the 2020 type r in the new blue. My 2018 Honda Accord 2.0t will be traded in soon.

[@TORQToolbox]

That's EPIC man!

[@JP-ne7xj]

Why the camber arms? Did you find they are absolutely necessary? Do they help out with anything other than camber (steering, ride)?

[@SavaSix]

I wanted to see if you had any input regarding wheel spacers? It looks good without them and it seems like offset does a good job of accomplishing the same thing

[@ronniemorgan5143]

I just lowered my R w/swift springs,& I’m getting a knocking sound on the right front. Are you getting the same thing? We’ve taken off twice,checked everything,& know everything is tighten correctly. But I’m still getting a knock. Any suggestions why?

[@AdversaryNemesis1124]

Boss as always, great video, now question? What size 19 inch rims/tires would you recommend for the FK8? Everyone is going with 18's, but I just wanted to go down one size.

[@jimmysapien9961]

Let me know

[@300zxdriver]

Totally agree with more sidewall.

[@Shaunfromboston]

Hondas, man. Gotta love that high offset.

[@garrettnewton2220]

So how much rear camber are you running with the arms? Great video by the way!!

[@diegotobar6839]

Awww Yeah!! I run Titan7 T-R10 on my STI for track use and man they are amazing!! Looking into getting a set TS-5s for daily use.

[@TORQToolbox]

That's awesome man! I'm glad others like yourself are enjoying the wheels

[@rsxking2004]

Amazing editing skills. What do you use?

[@Mkylevitug]

Hello sir i would like to ask if u cut or trim fender when u put yuor wheels and springs?

[@darienwalker7635]

Nice vid bro! I'm planning on getting the 2020 type r by end of June. After bout a year I was gonna get some wheels with round a +20 offset. I'm looking for a aggressive poke fitment lol U think torque steer would be bad and noticeable??

[@TORQToolbox]

I haven't tried it personally but from what others have told me, they had +35 and it reintroduced torque steer. So I'd assume +20 would add significantly more torque steer

[@316328597]

BEST Civic Type R Wheels & Suspension Setup video on youtube!

[@RyBread182]

Would you have been safe with just an alignment did you need the camber arms for even wear on the tires?

[@itsmaki7203]

Great video man! Are you running a tune? With my 2019 SI it made a HUGE difference with just the 23psi basemap

[@TORQToolbox]

yessir...I have a off the shelf map for it right now

[@drepop803]

So if i buy 18x9.5 ts5, i shouldn't have an issue with stock height? I been looking at wheels for months and those titans have been my favorites. Ppl say don't buy them because they're a track wheel. Is there a problem daily-ing a track wheel?

[@RelaxAndSmokeMeth]

what are the benefits of cutting the bump stops? spirited driving... thank you!

[@bj10jgo]

how is the swift springs holding up? Any issues with the tires or oem dampeners wearing out?

[@realtalk9648]

Do you really need to change the rear upper camber arm if you do lowering springs?

[@originalmusic401]

18 is the way to go, my dream wheels might be some classy TE37's

[@drepop803]

Yup i daily'd mine for 8 months now and 7300 miles and a pot hole got me and now i have a bent wheel. I got the protection plan to so once i get that fix, I'm buying wheels.

[@igoro9748]

What you think about 245/30/20 tires and wheels 8,5 “ OFFSET 45 ? If I get this wheels I feel torq steering?

[@bobbybooshay5854]

If you're lowering the vehicle is it necessary to change the camber arms as well?

[@neilthomsen1810]

Are the camber arms needed for this setup to work?

[@V1ZFN]

Very clean

i appreciate it man

[@threadoflife]

Hey man I’m local in AZ would love to chat with you if you get a chance. I have a few questions on my FK8 build. Content is on point man!👌 keep it coming!

[@SoopahKEN]

What I was wondering, when you showed the camber kit, there were only two of them. Did you only install 2 or did you do all four wheels?

[@Archangelsfury]

Is it the same kit for the front camber arms? I cant seem to see it in the video.

[@b4Ldo003]

I just wanna ask what was your wheel size? And how much inch did you drop? I can't see the link on what you bought.
