In the market, there are 5mm to 70mm Honda Civic Type-R FL5 wheel spacers for the stock +60 offset wheels. As long as you use a quality set and install them correctly, the FL5 wheel spacers are no different than low-offset wheels. These wheel spacers reduce the distance from the wheel center to the hub assembly, thus they subtract the offset. As a rule of thumb, a 1-inch spacer is approximate -25mm offset.
Giving an example, if you get a +65mm offset rim, then a 1-inch spacer changes the offset to be +40mm (65mm – 25mm = 40mm). The less the offset, the more the wheels will stick out from the wheel hub. Each time when changing wheel width, it is a good idea to consider a set of proper Honda Civic Type-R FL5 wheel spacers to make the offset correct.
Are Honda Civic Type-R FL5 Wheel Spacers or Offset Wheels Better?
Well, it really depends on your specific needs. The most obvious difference is the cost. Not everyone is a wheel specialist. A set of good offset wheels means a large budget. If you’re looking for an easier and more cost-effective solution, then Civic Type-R FL5 wheel spacers are perfect for you. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling Honda Civic Type-R wheel spacers provide the active cooling technique.
Distributed in petal shape, the cooling grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. Besides, the knurling surfaces eliminate internal stress which contributes to more reliable product mechanical properties. The crisscross knurling pattern enlarges the cooling area which is good for the active cooling effect. BONOSS forged active cooling Civic Type-R FL5 wheel spacers boost the whole user experience.
Do Civic Type-R FL5 Wheel Spacers Hurt Ride Quality?
Proper wheel spacers can always fit your truck without hurting anything. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling Civic Type-R FL5 wheel spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm tolerance. This improves the fit and functionality of spacers. High-precision Civic Type-R FL5 wheel spacers are easier to sit flush up against the vehicle hub and wheel. So, there’s no obvious gap between the wheel hub and the spacer. This is helpful to avoid high-speed wheel vibration.
To ensure safety, BONOSS forged active cooling Civic Type-R FL5 wheel spacers provide ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs and ISO grade 10 lug nuts. These BONOSS ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs have undergone a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. The results of those performance tests are great: tensile strength ≥ 1,220 MPa; ultimate tensile load ≥ 152,000 N; proof load ≥ 121,000 N. The minimum proof load of ISO grade 10 lug nuts is 1,100 MPa. They are all approved by SGS and TÜV.
