Honda Civic FK8 Type R Fitted with BBS RIA + Michelin PS4S at Autosport Tyreworld

At Autosport Tyreworld, high-performance machines deserve high-performance upgrades — and the legendary Honda Civic FK8 Type R is the perfect example.
This FK8 came to our workshop for a premium wheel and tyre upgrade, choosing one of the lightest and strongest forged wheel options available: BBS RIA. Paired with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, this setup delivers sharper handling, improved grip, and a race-ready appearance.

The final result is a perfectly balanced blend of track performance and refined street drivability.

🔥 Wheel Upgrade: BBS RIA – 18x9.5 +45 (5x120) in Matt Bronze

BBS is synonymous with motorsport heritage, engineering excellence, and lightweight strength.
The BBS RIA is a forged wheel from their premium Motorsport series — engineered for extreme performance while maintaining OEM-level durability.

Why the BBS RIA is perfect for the FK8:

• Forged lightweight construction improves response & reduces unsprung mass

• 18x9.5 width optimises tyre footprint for maximum grip

• +45 offset provides perfect Type R fitment with no compromise on clearance

• Matt Bronze finish adds a premium, aggressive visual contrast

• Track-ready strength suitable for heavy braking and cornering loads

🛞 Tyres: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S – 265/35R18

To match the forged wheels, the customer chose the Michelin PS4S, widely considered the best ultra-high-performance street tyre available today.

Michelin PS4S Benefits

• Exceptional dry & wet traction

• Quick steering response and precise turn-in

• Shorter braking distance

• Reinforced sidewalls for high-performance chassis like the FK8

• Consistent performance even under spirited driving

The upgraded 265/35R18 tyre size gives the FK8 a wider contact patch, improving stability and grip without sacrificing comfort.
