John unboxes forged Advan GT Beyond wheels in Hyper Platinum Black, +45 offset, and walks the fitment math for an H&R-lowered Integra Type S (and Civic Type R) versus stock +60 wheels and spacers. This 11 min guide covers the Discussion is aimed at Civic Type R / Integra Type S (FL5 / DE5) owners curious about wheel fitment with.
Overview
A walkaround/unbox, not a tire-mount install. John opens a set of forged, Japan-made Advan GT Beyond wheels — 5-spoke, 5×120, +45 — in Hyper Platinum Black, which he says looks a bit brighter and more chrome-like than the older Hyper Black. He explains why +45: stock Type S wheels are +60, he had been running spacers that also net +45, and with H&R springs the +45 sits close to flush at the fender without going to a more aggressive +40. He wants a slightly thicker sidewall look (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, talking 275/35 vs a 265/30) to fill the well, closer to how a meatier NSX tire looks. The Beyond version adds extra machining for weight and rigidity, tire knurling, deeper pockets than the Premium if you run spacers/studs, a black inner barrel for contrast, and enough concave for Brembo clearance without an extreme offset. He wants them ceramic coated. The description has no buy links, so the buttons below are tagged Amazon searches — not a verified wheel listing.

Step by step
- 1
What's in the box▶ 0:57
Forged aluminum, made in Japan, 5-spoke. John already opened one wheel and walks the finish and construction.
- 2
Specs and color▶ 1:57
5×120 bolt pattern, +45 offset, Hyper Platinum Black — a brighter, slightly more chrome look than the older Hyper Black, so the two-tone isn't as harsh in photos.
- 3
Why +45▶ 2:28
The Integra is on H&R springs (about 0.75" front, 0.5" rear). Stock wheels are +60; with spacers he was already at a +45 look. A +40 would poke the rear more; he likes the current almost-flush, OEM-plus stance.
- 4
Tire size plans▶ 4:42
He wants to fill the wheel well a bit more with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber, talking a move from 265/30 toward 275/35 for a thicker, meatier look closer to what he likes on the NSX.
- 5
Advan GT Beyond details▶ 7:05
The Beyond is the newer cut: extra machining for weight and some rigidity, tire knurling so the bead doesn't slip, deeper inner pockets than the Premium if you use spacers or longer studs, a black inner barrel, and concave that still clears the Brembos without an extreme offset.

Next steps▶ 9:43
He wants a ceramic coating and a look at them in the sun, where the finish can go almost chrome. This video stops at the unbox and fitment talk.

0:00What's up guys, it a
0:03We are going to be taking the
0:07Ackara and Ackara. Type S.
0:11We got some cool boxes right here.
0:15A little teaser right there.
0:19I already unboxed one.
0:23I wanted to share this with y'all.
0:57Aluminum alloy., forged, man this is tight made in of Japan 5 spoke, and it's be
1:27I just don't like it flat.
1:29Shout out, you know
1:57120, 5-hole looks like this.
2:0145 offset, machine and hyper platinum black,
2:06that's the most color.
2:08So it used to be hyper black, but now it's hyper platinum.
2:12So in my pictures and everything,
2:15it looks a little bit shinier,
2:18little bit more chromium, little bit more brighter,
2:21which, that way it's not too,
2:24like the two tones not too crazy.
2:28But yeah, let me explain to you why I got the 45
2:32instead of the like 40, 38, 50, what are these numbers?
2:37Now, currently the Integra is sitting on that OEM
2:43, plus look.
2:44HNR springs to lower it at 0ne 75. 75 in the front
2:48and I believe 0.5 in the rear.
2:50Now the stock wheels are a plus 60,
2:55and you can kind of see,
2:58hey, that's not a plus 60, that's a little bit different.
3:01Now it has a plus minus 15,
3:06because I have spacers on it.
3:07So mathematically, we have a plus 45,
3:13which is the same spec wheel I got here, plus 45.
3:17And you can kind of see the fitment right there with the camber and everything. It's nice and
3:23flush. You can see the wheel itself kind of lines up with the body. It's with the camber.
3:32It lines up with the fenders. Not flush flush. But I'm looking at the the
3:47right here that gives you like a OEM mud splash guard. So there's that and then we
3:54also have the rears. The rears are also plus 45 and if you see it like parallel
4:02to the flooring it looks something like this. I think it's perfect. You could
4:08push this out another 20 or another 5mm so that would be a 40 offset and that's
4:16That's where people will probably leave the rear.
4:19I think a plus 20 is really good.
4:2125, you push it another from 15.
4:25That's another 10 millimeters, which is a centimeter out.
4:29It will be more flush up here,
4:30but then it will be poked out more of here.
4:36The fitment is good right here.
4:37It's very OEM plus, and I got 45 here.
4:42The reason why is because with the H&Rs,
4:45which I love, I love the ride quality.
4:48It's like an OEM fitment.
4:50The one thing that I didn't really like.
4:54And I kind of, I kind of assume too, is,
4:56I mean, the the wheel gap is not bad.
4:59And that's where the secret sauce comes in, okay?
5:01I'm gonna get the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's,
5:05but this time, I'm gonna get it in a,
5:08so this is a 265.30,
5:13and I'm gonna get it on a 275,
5:15, so the tire is going to be about a centimeter thicker, and then I'm going to get 35, which means that ratio is going to increase this to my calculations.
5:45Okay in a nutshell
5:48These new wheels I got here
5:51Are gonna look very similar to the OEM with the spacers on in terms of, of fitment
5:57But I wanted to fill the little the wells a little bit more so I'm going a little the little bit
6:15So the NSX, you can see the sidewall, the tire, it's just more substantial.
6:29Granted, this is like a 305, but you can kind of see, you can see it's quite a bit thicker
6:39And I just want that thicker look.
6:41That meat of your stance, hence why the offset.
6:45All right, so we got that out of the way.
6:48Whew, let me tell you something else.
6:50Let me just show you the wheels, okay?
6:52So, shall see DHL for nice shipping.
6:57Like the boxes still look pretty good.
7:00And the other box is even better.
7:02The one that this was sitting in.
7:05This is also wrapped in a plastic kind of,
7:08I guess you can call it a plastic wrap, but I already took it off. So here is,
7:13here is the unveil of the Yokohama Advan GT
7:38Oh, so the offsets on these aren't too aggressive,
7:43but you get so much concave that, man, I think that looks
7:47it's gonna get really offset the look.
7:49I love that concave look.
7:52And I don't think it's too extreme or anything.
7:54It's not crazy,
7:56but it's gonna give you that plenty of clearance
7:59for your Brembo brakes.
8:01And you want all that room, a room.
8:03Let me tell you something more about these wheels.
8:05These are the Av and GT beyonds.
8:06Again, what the Beyond has, it's their newest version.
8:11They have more cuts for weight savings right here.
8:13You can kinda see this.
8:15This is also supposed to add some rigidity too.
8:19You got the tire, thingies that help rip the tire
8:23so the tire don't slip.
8:26Tire, knurling, it's called.
8:29There's the offset.
8:31Danger.
8:32And then you'll have these little pockets which the premiums don't do, it's not as deep.
8:42So if you plan on running more like a spacer or something like that, this is going to give
8:45you an extra room to have those studs studs hit.
8:50That's weight savings right here, again you get some more weight savings.
8:52And I like how the interior of the barrel is black, gives it a nice contrast.
8:58I tell you what, like the interior of my OEM wheels,
9:03they're like gunmetal, but one they're like brown,
9:06and you lose some of that contrast.
9:09So yeah, add me in GTs, stay tuned
9:14man this thing looks so, I think like head on
9:17it looks really good.
9:19The colors, I'll, I
9:20I'll show you how it looks like in the sun too,
9:23because in the sun it looks kind of like chrome,
9:28It's kind of crazy, it really
9:42pops.
9:43I definitely want to get these ceramic coated as well.
9:44Get them nice and clean.
9:45But yeah, look at that.
9:46Any shop like this, whew, that concave really shows.
9:48Boy, that looks good.
9:52Anyways, thank you guys for watching, stay tuned to my channel, I love working on
