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 β€” 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.


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

πŸ›ž 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
