Let's talk Type S fitment. (wheels, tires & suspension)

[eculley]

I am looking to swap out the oem wheels/tires and throw in some springs in the near future. Just curious what you all are looking at as far as wheels and springs go.

So far, I am leaning toward the Spoon progression springs and a set of Titan7s.. I would love a set of Work Emotion T7R but the 18x9.5 only come in a +38 and I'd be worried that would rub.

Main question, can we pretty much go off of FL5 fitment guides for this car?

Wheels. Yes same as the CTR.
Suspension - I know the Type S has different springs. On thing I notice is online I'm seeing 4" of ground clearance. This seems pretty low. Wonder if this is different than the CTR.

I would say FL5 springs you would be safe.

Wheels specs:

Stock Enkei wheels - 19x9.5 ET 60 5x120 Michelin PS4s 265.30.19

BBS forged - 18x9.5 ET40 5x120 Michelin PS4s 265.35.18

Overall diameter is dead on. Ride is much better. And I saved 14 lbs a corner of rotational weight. Sorry about the iphone pics.

14 lbs saved per corner? That is a ton!
What did those puppies cost?

$5800 - wheels, tires, floating center caps, TPMS sensors, mounting & balancing

Looks fantastic! Do you have any pics from the front/rear of the car to show how flush those wheels sit with the fenders?

Let's get a shot from the back of the fenders so we can see the poke -- this looks great!

That looks awesome! Thank you for sharing.

Sits great! I’m assuming there’s been no rubbing?

Thank you - No rubbing whatsoever. Perfect setup IMHO

Honestly this might be because of the front bumper, not the suspension. it looks like the chin on the ITS is more pronounced than on the CTR.

That was my assumption, but looking at the lines it appears both bumpers are pretty level with the rest of the car. Might just be the angle, but the ridge on the bottom of the bumper on the ITS looks larger maybe?

There are a lot of +38 offset wheels that I wanted that just now became actual options. Thanks for sharing!

Based on your images it looks like a stock wheel with 15mm spacer should approach the same look.
