Honda FK8 Civic Type R Limited Edition Fitted with BBS RE-V7 + Michelin PS5 at Autosport Tyreworld

The rare Honda Civic Type R FK8 Limited Edition (Sunlight Yellow) is one of the most exclusive modern hot hatches — lighter, sharper, and produced in extremely limited numbers.
This special FK8 visited Autosport Tyreworld for an equally special wheel and tyre upgrade, combining BBS RE-V7 wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres for the ultimate blend of performance and style.

The result is a dramatic transformation that enhances grip, sharpens handling, and elevates the car’s already aggressive presence.

🖤 Wheel Upgrade: BBS RE-V7 – 18x9.5 +45 (5x120) – Gloss Black

The BBS RE-V7 is a premium forged wheel engineered for high-performance applications. Perfectly suited to the FK8, it offers:

Why the RE-V7 is perfect for the Type R:

• Forged construction → strong, lightweight, track-ready

• 18x9.5 width → ideal for wider performance tyres

• +45 offset → clean, functional fitment with OEM fenders

• Gloss Black finish → incredible contrast against FK8 Yellow Edition

• Motorsport-inspired spoke design → maximum rigidity + brake clearance

A premium wheel for a premium limited-edition car.

🛞 Tyre Upgrade: Michelin Pilot Sport 5 – 265/35R18

To match the forged BBS wheels, the customer opted for the Michelin PS5, Michelin’s newest generation UHP (Ultra High Performance) tyre.

Key Benefits of Michelin PS5:

• Exceptional dry and wet cornering grip

• Shorter braking distance than previous generation

• Superb steering precision

• Excellent daily comfort for a performance tyre

• Long-lasting tread life

The 265/35R18 sizing provides a wider contact patch, giving the FK8 increased stability and sharper turn-in response.
