Wow, thank you Jonathan for being the first person I have seen take off the label on the tires. Every time I see any car enthusiast go get tires put on their rims they always leave them on. So thank you!

[@ahcgarage]

Right on!

Downsizing on the wheel setup for the Type-R was the right choice 🔥

[@derekyam1805]

Every Enkei, Weds, or Volks wheels I ran, I never used center caps. But if you do no caps, at least paint the axle nuts and rear hubs flat black for rust prevention and looks

[@ahcgarage]

Good point!

[@zackrogers7089]

Either way, with it without center caps. Love the Gram Lights decal, it makes it official and looks good to me. You guys have a shop in South Florida?

[@ahcgarage]

Yes, we are in South Florida. Thanks for tuning in

[@satchels6451]

i want to change my rims too but i like the red striping on the stock ones...

[@Striker50_]

Bro Autozone or Amazon sells the red strip

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Those wheels look real nice Mike, for me personally I would go with centre caps. One question (probably a stupid one) but won't changing the wheel size (diameter) put the Speedo out of calibration or have you changed the tyres profile to compensate, I had this problem many years ago when I fitted bigger wheels on my car but lowered the tyres profile to compensate. John UK.

[@ahcgarage]

You are right John. It will be slightly off if the total diameter is different. With the wheel and tire we went with, it is pretty close to stock but not 100%.

[@leftright2]

So I see that a +35 offset works perfect what was the backspacing you went with. I really want to get a perfect fitment like this so I don’t end up rubbing on my Type r when turning. Really love the car and content please keep it coming!

[@ahcgarage]

Perfect

[@touringteg]

Those are +38 in the video.

[@MrLopezlove9]

Do you know what’s the biggest tire I can put on my stock type R rims. I’ve seen a video that shows 35’s fit with no problem. I would love to know if it’s officially possible to do so without any rub issues or fitment. I appreciate any feedback so I can keep my original 20 inch rim with a bigger tire than what is only recommended a 30 side wall.

[@jasonboyle7203]

Bit Ghetto without centre caps WoW like the colour choice fella..

[@ahcgarage]

[@dickcheng745]

i run 265 35 R18 with 9.5JJ et45, the rear rub a bit...not serious, but et38 with original rear camber setup...just wonder

[@jimmysapien9961]

Center caps to keep the dirt off the hub nut

[@jackk687]

Hi, Will these rims and tires fit on a stock 2019 type R suspension? Great Video!

[@southao4236]

What size you use for the rims hub centric rings

[@ramonbriones4487]

Looks great! Prob would say no decals and they're good to go imo and I know he calls them mag blue but aren't they actually eternal blue?

[@ahcgarage]

Good call!!

[@raymondtang1262]

Those of you switching from 245 to 265, how does the gas mileage compare. I'd expect 265 to consume more gas, but by how much?

[@iseethings4218]

Looks nice. What do you think about tread noise?

[@ahcgarage]

They are much quieter than the oem tires

[@TheMapex37]

I just ordered te37sl mag blue no center caps for my TypeR

[@ahcgarage]

Nice!!!

[@jyeeatock]

Those Tyres look good. What are the tyre spec? 265?

[@V3N0M_VZL4]

Center caps looks better, and also please change the side markers 😉

[@straightupgg]

Which lug nuts did you guys use? Just got a set of 57DR myself.

[@Khaabkid]

Center cap it! It prevents corrosion and rust in the long run.

[@ahcgarage]

[@jbelmontes1234]

This question may have already been answered but I couldn’t find it. Is the car lowered or at stock height?

[@sirzoepro]

Keep the center caps on the wheels

[@sueb4154]

So why does my tire guy tell me that the 18x9.5 wheels won't work on my Si without major suspension work?

[@ChrisHondaProductions]

Center cap pls !

[@rogeliocorona1781]

You said in the video the wheels are 18x9.5 +35 offset and video shows the wheels box and the box says 18x9.5 +38 offset. I’m confused which one is the correct ?

[@touringteg]

They are +38

[@mr._.gallardo]

Center caps. Looks like a kid installed them missing something

[@ahcgarage]

Good point

[@oldpirate7434]

Did you try to Ceramic Coat them before mounting them on? They look sick!

[@ahcgarage]

We didn't on these. Ceramic coat will certainly help with the cleaning part of these wheels

[@raidersperez1278]

You don’t rub? I’m on 9.5+45 18s with 255/40 and I’m rubbing in the rear and i don’t want to go back to 35 because the Speedo was off and also got horrible mpg.

[@ceansilorcaso5820]

I want to keep the 20 inches wheels in the 2020 Type R but I want bigger tires meaning 255/30-20 with 48mm offset. What do you think?

That should clear without any issue

[@ceansilorcaso5820]
