OEM+ BRZ Limited

Well, it didn't really seem worth posting any photos until I started modifying my BRZ, so, since I got around to installing my suspension and wheels today it seems like it's time to share.

Purchased on 8/15/13 with 7 miles.

Front- 18x9 et25 with 215/40 tires
Rear- 18x10 et37 (40 - 3mm spacer) with 235/40 tires

Outside of that just 35% window tint and a K&N drop in filter for now. More to come in the future. Hope you like it as much as I do!

Your car has one of those "clean" looks to it. I love it. Props!

Yum, Impuls. Great choice. Originally 5x100, or redrilled?

Thanks, guys. I'm loving it so far. Still got a long way to go before it's "perfect," but I'm very happy with the look and feel of the car now.

They're redrilled, so they have both 5x114.3 and 5x100 patterns now. Do you have any knowledge on the cars they originally came on? I've liked these wheels for years, but I can't remember if they were vehicle specific or just aftermarket from the beginning.

As it goes, originally for IMPUL x Nissan, I wanna say if was either the 240sx or 300zx they came from.

Very minimal rubbing up front right now, and I've only heard it rub out back a couple of times over big bumps. I'm going to let it settle for a couple of days and then adjust the height back up just a hair. Got to do the alignment, too, but again I want to wait until it's settled and adjusted first. I do have the camber plates maxxed out up front, and no other camber adjustment parts installed.
