IMHO, Honda engineered a superb Civic Type R, out of the box. My first Honda was a new '83 Prelude, 40 years ago; and I love my present ride, a 2012 TSX Wagon. Treat that Civic like the cool machine that it is, and you'll enjoy it for years to come.

Changing wheel offset is going to affect the steering scrub radius. Sure it's "flush" or whatever, but the CTR has such amazing steering, and it's a shame to adversely affect it just for style. The color is gorgeous, though!

Thanks! As far as the +43 offset goes, I have had 0 rubbing on all four corners and could probably get away with running 285 tires.

@@Shank0818 I don't really think where the car was manufactured matters tbh. Some people might care because they want the more "authentic" JDM car but the Acura will still be built very well. I think if you plan to daily the car and really put some miles on it, the Acura seems to be the better option as it has more creature comforts. At the end of the day I'm sure you'll be happy with either purchase. Don't let the internet trick you into thinking one is better than the other. It's just what you think will suit your lifestyle better.

@@billx4266 Tire size affects a car’s alignment. When the tire size is different from the factory, a car’s alignment will need to be adjusted after a tire change. This is because tires that are wider or taller than original equipment tires stretch the suspension slightly and cause changes in camber and caster angles, as well as toe angles. In order to make up for these changes, an alignment needs to be performed on the vehicle by a qualified technician using proper tools. A tire with a smaller overall diameter creates less of an effect on the vehicle’s alignment, but still requires minor adjustments after installation.

It is a bummer that markups are on this car. But it’s such a great car. And it looks so good. I don’t care. I love my FL5. The reliability, the fun, the comfort of this car is worth it. I know I could have went for something like a BMW M2 for what I have paid for this car. But I think Honda makes fun reliable cars like this one and to take care of it does not break the bank like a BMW would.
