17x9.5 fitment on 1st gen
Aside from the fact that it's pretty overkill on a car with so little power..
What exactly is needed to run this set up? -17x9.5 with 255 or 265 tires -https://www.apexraceparts.com/shop-by-vehicle/subaru/brz-frs/17x9-5-et40-apex-vs-5rs-forged-86-brz-wheel.html The use case is mostly DD with occasional autox/track. Currently I have front and rear SPL control arms. Looking into getting RCE SS1, so with the camber plates I am assuming -3 to -3.5 should be achievable 1. In terms of clearance, will RCE SS1 be sufficient in getting the adjustments I need? Was researching this fitment and the Apex rep mentioned something about coilovers with slim silhouette (ref here) 2. In terms of performance dynamic, the goal is to run Hankook RS4 level of grip tire that will have at least some longevity compared to tires like RE71Rs. Would the standard spring rate and damping on the RCE SS1 "match" this level of size and grip? |

I'm running those wheels, there is miles of clearance. Stick with a 255.
Can't help with RCE specific questions though |

Is there a particular reason why you recommend 255? Aside from the lack of availability in tire selection in 265 lol Nice build btw....;( you are living my dream |

As an update, finally got them on! Alignment and corner balancing scheduled for next week.
Huge shoutout to amazing support from: Matt @APEX Race Parts Andrew and Myles @Racecomp Engineering |

Thank you!
Haven’t pushed past 7/10 but at least in the recommended settings, it’s more comfortable and street compliant than stock ts suspension. Looking forward to post alignment/corner balancing and seeing how it performs. Also I haven’t really seen many reviews about these Continental Extreme Contact Force tires so I’m curious how the car will feel like at 9/10 - 10/10 especially with the osgiken 1.5 way and the ts wing. Not sure if it’ll push more under braking on decel or something similar |
Car looks 100% badass…
