When Honda introduced the new Type-R series in 2017 I had to have one. They don’t bring that name to the U.S. often, so when you have a chance to snatch up a beautiful piece of machinery such as this, you DO IT. Originally I planned on keeping her completely stock but as time passed I began to see the significant strides others were making with FBO’s (Full Bolt On’s) without molesting the car into oblivion. I decided it was my turn to throw myself into the fray of upgrading fun.

New shoes for Roxy. This is the first modification that was a need (definitely not a want) for this lady. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) wheels are nice but, functionally just not feasible for everyday American roads, especially those found in Michigan! I wrapped them in Michelin Pilot Sport S tires at 255/35/ZR19 (96Y) inflated to 32lbs.

This change completed changed how the car felt and it was a vast improvement over the stock tire and wheel setup. More grip, more durability, more everything. Response was great, ride the best. No rubbing, no torque-steer.

Here are some pictures of the final product:

I choose BBS CH-R, 19″x9″ wheels with a +47 offset. They break up the black very nicely and give the car a much better look. Here are some additional angles for you to drool over.
