Thanks for the help! Im kinda torn, thinking of running a 17x8.25 +20 front and 18x8.75 +20 rear. I wanna use the stock 215/45/17 up front, would a 245/40/18 be a good ratio? I don't want it messing with vdc

Any reason why not to go for 18x.8.75 square setup?

Also, you can do 235/40/18 and 245/40/18, but if you want to keep it as near to factory diameter as possible you should take 235/35/18 and 245/35/18

Still, would recommend 8.75x18 with 245/35/18 square.

You'll need 245/35/18 to be as close as possible to stock height

This!

It makes no sence to go 17" in the front and 18" in the back, and it will ruin your handling if the car is not built for this.

Either go 17x8.25 +20 all around, or 18x8.75 +35 all around. Those are the dimensions our car look best and flush in

What are the weights per wheel on the xxr's?

8.25 + 20 pokes a decent amount up front, you might need a little camber or stretch depending on the height.

If you wanted closest to flush with stock height or mild drop then you'd want +35 front +20 rear.

Blue and Gold BRZ! Definitely inspired by that guy switchlanez if that's how it's spelled correctly. I love how it goes with Subaru's rally colors. Go Subaru!!! Haha. What do you guys think!? I wanna see some of your opinions

Note : Color may be off a bit because of the lighting and how much the color of the wheel has been edited.

Wheel - 17x8.25 +35
Running on stock tires(rear is stretched a bit if you notice)
Lowered on Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs
No Alignment yet.

Thanks man! Appreciate it.
Oh shoots, forgot to add that in lol. It is +35 if I remember correctly. I wanted the 17x9.75 but that wouldn't been too risky for me.

Does anyone know what is the best place to order 527's? Are there any vendors on this forum offering any good deals? I'm looking for 527's 18" X 8.75" in chromium black. The best I can find so far, including shipping, is for $640. Any ideas?
