Overview

Front-Drive GripWith Proper Offset Discipline

The Integra Type S is not a deep-lip sedan. It is a sharp front-drive performance car with big front brakes, high-offset factory geometry, and enough power to make tire choice matter. The right forged setup should sharpen the car without making the front axle fight the road.

01

Square fitment suits the car.
The Type S puts serious work through the front axle, so a square setup keeps the chassis honest and tire rotation simple.

02

Offset is the attitude control.
Too little offset can make a DE5 look aggressive for the wrong reason: steering kickback, poke, and fender stress.

03

Brake clearance comes first.
The face, pad height, barrel, and spoke shape need to clear the Type S front brakes before the wheel gets pretty.

Engineering Proof

Acura Integra Type SEngineering Validation

LFI Acura Integra Type S wheels are engineered around exact 5x120 hub geometry, 64.1 mm hub-centric machining, Type S brake clearance, square tire support, target weight, load rating, center-cap requirements, and final stance.

Why load rating still matters

The Integra Type S is lighter than many luxury sedans, but it is quick, sticky, and often driven hard. Big front brakes, high-grip tires, track days, repeated high-speed braking, road impacts, and front-drive tire loading still require proper reserve. For selected DE5 road-use specifications, LFI positions 690 kg per wheel as a practical lightweight target, while 790 kg can be evaluated for stickier tires, harsher roads, track use, or extra-reserve builds.

Torque is part of the wheel story

Wheel strength is not only vertical load. Type S wheels also see braking, cornering, tire grip, hub-pad stress, bolt-seat stress, spoke-root stress, and rim-barrel torque reaction. This is why LFI reviews selected DE5 specifications against approximately 1,500 Nm per front wheel static torque-load cases.

590 kg vs 690 kg vs 790 kg: practical Integra Type S axle-load reference

Final load rating should be checked against the exact vehicle label, tire load index, brake package, and intended use. The goal is to keep the forged wheel rating proportional to a front-drive performance sedan while leaving enough reserve for real roads, brake load, tire grip, and repeated use.

Wheel Load Rating Per-Axle Equivalent Margin vs Axle Baseline Status How LFI Positions It
590 kg 1,180 kg per axle ~3% margin Low reserve Use only where the exact vehicle weight, tire, and road use support it.
690 kg 1,380 kg per axle ~20% margin Preferred LFI's preferred level for selected Integra Type S road forged specifications.
790 kg 1,580 kg per axle ~37% margin Extra reserve Useful for hard road use, track tire choices, rougher surfaces, or customers wanting more reserve.

Acura Integra Type S static FEA: ~1,500 Nm torque-load target

Wheel strength is not only vertical load capacity. Integra Type S wheels are loaded through front-axle braking, cornering, tire grip, road impacts, and sticky tire options. For selected forged specifications, LFI can use approximately 1,500 Nm per front wheel as a simplified torque-load target during engineering review, with final validation adjusted by vehicle, tire, brake and use case.

Validation Load Case Integra Type S Reference Basis Suggested LFI Target Why It Matters
Radial vehicle load Compact performance-sedan mass, passengers, tire package, and selected wheel load target 690 kg preferred target
790 kg extra-reserve option
Represents vehicle mass and repeated road loading.
Torque load Acceleration, deceleration, tire rolling radius, brake response, and road-load behavior ~1,500 Nm per front wheel Loads the hub pad, bolt seats, spoke roots, and rim barrel.
Cornering load Front-drive grip, sticky tires, and fast-road or track use Application-specific Shows how the wheel behaves when the chassis loads sideways during aggressive cornering.
Combined static load case Radial load + torque load + cornering load Application-specific More realistic than isolated vertical checks because real driving loads rarely occur one at a time.

If you want the manufacturing side of the process, LFI's How LFI Wheels Are Made page shows the design, forging, CNC machining, finishing, and QC logic behind a custom forged wheel before it reaches the car.

Why Radial-Load FEA Alone Is Not Enough

For forged wheel applications, vertical load is only one part of the engineering picture. LFI also reviews spoke-root stress, hub-pad loading, bolt-seat behavior, rim-barrel stress, brake clearance, and combined static road-load cases where relevant.

FAQ

Acura Integra Type SFitment Questions

What bolt pattern does the Acura Integra Type S use?

The DE5 Integra Type S uses 5x120 PCD. LFI still confirms the exact car before production because brake package, hardware seat, center bore, and cap plan matter as much as bolt pattern.

What center bore does the Integra Type S use?

The DE5 Integra Type S uses a 64.1 mm hub-centric center bore in this guide.

What is the featured Integra Type S fitment reference?

The featured visual reference uses a square 19x9.5 ET45 setup for a 2024 Acura Integra Type S, with 5x120 PCD, 64.1 mm center bore, 60 mm caps, silver forged-wheel finish direction, and cone-seat hardware planning.

Is 19x9.5 a good size for the Integra Type S?

Yes. 19x9.5 keeps the car close to the factory Type S wheel size while letting the offset, spoke design, and brake clearance be tailored for a stronger forged setup.

Is 18 inch useful on the Integra Type S?

Yes. 18 inch setups are popular when the owner wants more tire sidewall, lighter tire options, sharper track-day economics, and better rough-road comfort.

Can I run 18x9.5 on an Acura Integra Type S?

Yes, 18x9.5 is a strong DE5 direction when the offset, brake barrel, spoke clearance, tire size, and ride height are matched correctly.

Can I run 18x10 or 19x10 on the Integra Type S?

Yes for aggressive street and track cars, but it becomes more dependent on camber, tire shoulder, ride height, and front inner clearance.

What tire size works with 19x9.5 on the Integra Type S?

265/30R19 is the clean factory-style tire direction. Some owners move wider, but that needs a full clearance review.

What tire size works with 18x9.5?

265/35R18 is a strong road and track starting point for the Integra Type S. Tire brand and shoulder shape can change clearance.

Why is Integra Type S offset so sensitive?

The DE5 is a front-drive performance sedan with big front brakes and high-offset factory geometry. Too much poke can hurt steering feel and front-fender clearance.

Can the Integra Type S copy Civic Type R fitment?

It can share many fitment ideas with the FL5 Civic Type R, but LFI still checks the exact Acura body, tire target, ride height, and brake clearance before production.

Does LFI check brake clearance before machining?

Yes. Brake clearance is treated as a primary part of the specification, especially on the Type S front axle.

What load rating should I choose for Integra Type S forged wheels?

For selected DE5 road-use forged specifications, 690 kg per wheel is the preferred level in this guide. 790 kg is useful when the wheel family, tire, and use case justify more reserve.

What torque-load target is used for this guide?

For this guide, LFI reviews selected Integra Type S specifications against approximately 1,500 Nm per front wheel static torque-load cases.

Can LFI build a square setup for the Integra Type S?

Yes. Square fitment suits the Type S well because it keeps tire rotation simple and supports the front-drive chassis balance.

Can LFI build a staggered setup for the Integra Type S?

It is possible, but square is normally the cleaner performance direction. Staggered sizing is more of a visual choice and must be checked carefully.

Can I keep Acura center caps?

Yes, when the center-cap diameter, pocket depth, and face design are planned before machining. The 7933 build used a 60 mm cap plan.

What finish is shown in the Acura Integra Type S preview?

The current guide images show a silver forged-wheel direction on a yellow Acura Integra Type S. LFI can still quote black, brushed, polished, bronze, or custom finishes per build.

Can Singapore, Malaysia, and international Acura owners order directly from LFI?

Yes. LFI supports local Singapore and Malaysia customers and also ships forged wheels internationally with fitment consultation.

What does LFI need before building Integra Type S wheels?

LFI needs the model year, brake package, tire target, ride height, current alignment, center-cap plan, PCD, center bore, hardware seat, finish, load target, and driving style.
