Honda FK8 Civic Type R Four-Wheel Alignment After Rays Wheels Adelaide
Quick answer
After fitting Rays TE37SAGA S-Plus wheels and 265/35R18 Michelin PS5 tyres to this Honda FK8 Civic Type R, four-wheel alignment was the correct finishing step. It helps protect the tyres and gives the car a proper steering baseline.
The FK8 is responsive to small alignment changes, especially at the front axle. Correct toe, camber and steering-centre checks help the Type R feel stable and predictable after a wheel and tyre change.

Why this setup matters on an FK8 Civic Type R
The Honda FK8 Civic Type R is a high-output front-wheel-drive performance car, so tyre grip, wheel fitment and alignment settings have a direct effect on how the car feels. A wider 18x10 +40 wheel with a 265/35R18 tyre needs proper clearance checks around the guards, suspension and brakes.
Michelin PS5 tyres suit drivers wanting strong wet and dry road performance, while the Rays TE37SAGA S-Plus wheel gives the car a purposeful performance stance. The final result depends on correct fitting, balancing and alignment rather than the parts alone.
Why four-wheel alignment matters after new wheels and tyres
Four-wheel alignment helps protect the new Michelin tyres and gives the Civic Type R a proper baseline after the wheel package is installed. Toe, camber and steering-centre checks all matter when changing wheel width, offset or tyre model.
For Adelaide Type R owners, alignment is also about confidence on real local roads. The car should track straight, brake predictably and feel stable through hills roads, suburban roads and wet winter conditions.
