2007–2010 Japan-market model · FD2
Honda Civic Type RFD2
The FD2 Type R is the Japanese-market sedan, distinct from the contemporary European FN2 hatch.
Before you choose wheels.
A good-looking setup is only useful if the details match your car. Start with these generation-specific checks.
- Verify that the comparison is an FD2 Type R rather than an ordinary FD sedan.
- Use a brake-clearance template for the specific wheel design; diameter and offset alone do not prove clearance.
- Document tire model, alignment and fender changes before treating an aggressive setup as repeatable.
Record the complete setup.
Track front and rear separately, even on a square setup. Wheel diameter and width alone cannot establish clearance.
- Wheels
- Exact brand and model, diameter × width, nominal offset, bolt pattern and hub bore.
- Spacers
- Explicit front and rear thickness in millimeters. Enter zero only after confirming there are no spacers.
- Tires
- Brand, model and full size on each axle. Nominal sizes do not guarantee the same measured section width.
- The car
- Market, model year, trim, body style, brake package, suspension, alignment and any fender modifications.
- Real-world result
- Rubbing at steering lock, under compression and with passengers or cargo. Include conditions, not just “fits.”
Effective offset = wheel offset − spacer thickness
A spacer moves the wheel outward, but an offset calculation does not prove brake, tire, suspension or body clearance.
Year ranges are generation guides, not VIN decoders. Market introductions and model years can differ.
