Titan7 T-S5 (18x8.5 +35) Yokohama Advan V601 (245/40R18) [PICS]

[KhasnFX]

Just put on new wheels on my Integra this weekend

- Titan7 T-S5 in 18x8.5 +35, Machine Black
- Yokohama Advan V601 in 245/40R18
- Stock suspension

I measured the OEM wheel+tire at 52.5 lbs. The T-S5 with the V601 was 45.7 lbs. Total weight savings is 27.2 lbs all around, which is nice!

The Yokohamas are noticeably louder than the OEM Continentals, which is expected since it's a 10mm wider summer tire. Will probably switch to UHP all seasons when they wear out. On the other hand, tire grip is substantially improved, you can carry more speed during hard cornering.

+44 offset would have been perfect in my opinion, but +35 looks good. Front end is flush at the top of the fender, rear is slightly tucked. Plenty of room for a BBK.

Very nice combo. So you're saying that 18x8.5 +44 would be perfect? Are your wheels sticking out too much since the fronts are flush with the top of the fender.

Looks great. I'm always amazed by the effort put in for these photos.

+44 would bring these closer to OEM spec (18x8 +50). With +35, there is ~9mm more clearance inside the wheel well, and the wheel sticks out ~21mm more. With +44, the inside clearance would be the same, and the wheel would stick out ~12mm.

+35 is fine appearance-wise, it doesn't poke out. I'm also running 10mm wider tires and stock suspension, no rubbing or anything.

FYI the back end of the car's body is wider than the front, so these wheels are flush up front and almost flush in the back.

Looking good! I really wish Titan 7 offered the TS-5 in Satin Bronze for the 18x8.5 +35 spec wheel.

Thank you for you’re post , I’m stuck between these wheels and GramLights (to match my S2K) but I think this wheel looks like a nicer route and that way the S2K and integra don’t have the same wheels . If the car is lowered on springs would you think a higher offset would be better?

I would recommend either +44 offset or 235 width tires if you're lowered. The +35 on 245s do stick out to the edge of the front fenders. Also depends on which brand tires you run, but that's harder to find measurements for.

What is the wheel bolt pattern for the Integra Aspec? I keep seeing various places saying either 5x120 or 5x114.3. It is beginning to get confusing. I am just trying to dial in the wheels for the car. Was hoping to snag a pair of 18x8.5 +43 based on what I've read you stated in the forum. Or, should I stick to 18x8.5 +35 since I will be installing Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs? Any information appreciated.

Type S is 5x120. ASpec is 5x114.3. Anything between +35 and +43 offset on 8.5s should look flush

willtheyfit.com is a great resource for fitment

Thank you for the response. Just trying to make good decisions with feedback from the community. If I may, you do not believe the +43 will rub when lowered or poke? I've done a lot of things to cars but wheels have always been my area where I lack knowledge.

Depends on the drop, wheel and the tire size. There are a bunch of examples of drops with tein springs, eibach pro and sportline springs, coilovers etc on here. I’ve been planning to do something similar to one of the members on here (18x8.5 +38 with 245/40 tires on eibach pro springs) and they don’t have any running issues

Thank you for the assist. I think i've settled up on the specs.

Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs
Konig Heliogram 18x8.5 +42 5x114.3
Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 245/40R18

If +38 fits with the Eibach kit, then +42, shouldnt be an issue. It is the difference of 0.154 inches. Basically, why im torn is because I dont want the look of the tires to appear too stretched and then also rub when I lower it with the springs.

You should be golden would love to see you post your final product once done. I’ve been looking at the same spec everything, aside from +38 or +35 for me.
