Civic Type-R 5x120 Wheel Spacer Kit: Fitment and Install FAQ

Civic Type-R wheel spacer questions, answered

Will the PRL 5x120 kit fit my 2017+ Civic Type-R?

Yes. The PRL Motorsports Honda Civic Type-R 5x120 Wheel Spacer Kit is listed to fit all 2017+ Honda Civic Type-R models, including CVT, 6MT, RHD, and international variants. It uses a Honda-specific hub-centric design with a 64.1 hub bore, so it centers on the hub rather than relying on the studs.

Which thickness should I choose: 15 mm, 20 mm, or 25 mm?

The kit comes in 15 mm (5/8 inch), 20 mm (3/4 inch), and 25 mm (1 inch) thicknesses. Thicker spacers push the wheel outward more, which changes stance and can affect clearance. PRL designs each thickness for specific Honda applications, so pick the one that matches your wheel and clearance goals rather than guessing.

Are these spacers hub-centric on both sides?

Yes. The spacer is centric on both the hub side and the wheel side. That dual centering is what keeps the wheel aligned with the hub and avoids vibration that can come from lug-centric spacing.

What hardware comes with the kit?

Where applicable, the kit includes OEM-grade strength steel hardware: grade 10.9 studs and grade 8.8 lug nuts, both zinc coated. PRL specifies that spacers should be installed using OEM torque specs. For bolt-on spacer applications, PRL also recommends applying BLUE Loctite to the OE studs.

Will I need to trim or modify anything to install them?

The supplied information does not list trimming or modification requirements. It describes the kit as a bolt-on solution designed around specific Honda hub sizes and thicknesses. Always test-fit and check clearance before driving.

What material and finish are the spacers made from?

The spacer portion is machined from lightweight, high-strength 6061-T6 alloy and finished with a Type 2 black anodized coating. That coating gives a clean look and helps resist oxidation and galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals.

Do these spacers change my stance?

Yes, by moving the wheel outward by the spacer thickness. Many owners use them for a more flush look. The trade-off is that a wider track can affect clearance and handling feel, so choose thickness with your wheel and tire setup in mind.

Are 5x120 spacers the same as 5x114.3?

No. 5x120 and 5x114.3 are different bolt patterns and are not interchangeable. The Civic Type-R uses a 5x120 pattern, so you need a 5x120-specific kit like this one.

What the catalog does not tell you

The supplied information does not include vehicle-specific torque values, maximum wheel width or offset compatibility, or detailed installation steps. It also does not confirm whether the kit includes extended lug studs for all thicknesses or whether fender rolling is required. For those details, consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic before purchasing or installing.
