Now, depending on model of tire, sometimes you can squeeze 255s on stock... But the easiest fix is just some camber adjustable bolts and you can now clear 255s (plus much more enhance grip and feedback as stock alignment on the FRS & BRZ is very under optimize, even stock suspension).
We selected an offset that allows for a huge range of tires with really flexible fitment.

Here you can see 255s squared. There is 2.7 degrees of camber in the front, and 1.7 in the rear since this car goes to the track regularly as well as regular street driving.
[The rear tire has tire dressing applied, the front does not.]

Really love these wheels but I'm running RCE yellows on stock struts, plan on getting some camber bolts on the front, and concerned about spring rub after the neg ~1.5. Thoughts? If plates are required, what product would anyone recommend which maintains the factory NVH?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe I missed it. How much do they weigh?

wow these are beautiful wheels. my wheels are really new but have been looking for something either super light, just found out my stock wheels are really light to begin with but I can gain +2 width with these. Also main motivation to switch would be aesthetics. these are some of the nicest i've seen that fit stock suspension. I have TRD springs will I be OK or will it rub with the camber needed for flush? what's the poke situation without camber?

Are you running aftermarket lower control arms? If so, which ones? Also, what were your alignment specs in these photos?

I have rear LCAs and in those photos IIRC, it was zero'd out. 0 toe/cast/camber. It's been a bit so take my specs with a grain of salt.

Anyone get these put on yet from the most recent GroupBuy? I received mine on Tuesday, but don't get them put on until Saturday

I hate waiting! (Which is hilarious since I've been waiting since February

)

Also, what tire sizes are people getting? I originally bought 255/40/17 but after reading a lot of users saying that there would be fitment issues on stock suspension I returned them and bought 245/40/17 instead, which should be more of a direct fit. I'm so excited to get these on!
