BRZ JDM STI wheels

Hi all, i just got some Pilot Sport SS 215/45 tires for my stock BRZ wheels. I recently saw how good the silver STI wheels looked and am about to order em. I'm wondering if the tires i just recently bought will fit the new wheels i buy, and where is a good place to buy them? I did some looking around and found this website that sells them but figured i'd come and ask if there's any better deals somewhere else because with 300 dollar shipping it's well over 1500

You can fit a 215/45/17 on the 7.5" JDM wheels. 225/45/17 is more optimal, so there will be a slight stretch but no big deal. Search the forums - I think there was someone on the NorCal board who was selling a set of these wheels.

Super Sports run wide. The tread width on the 215/45 is 7.7" so it will basically be a perfect flush fit.

I have 225's (8.2" wide) on my 17x7.5 wheels and its def more of a beefy tire look than flush look.

thanks, what do you mean by the "slight stretch" will it wear prematurely or something? I'll take a look at the marketplace

Hey, I think you're referring to me... I posted those STI wheels with Michelin PSS already installed on them in the norcal board just last week (was only in norcal for the weekend). I'm still up in the air about selling them, but if you're interested PM me, maybe we can work something out.

@Barusu - damn. Car looks good with those wheels. 225/45/17 with spacers so they sit more flush?

Looks great! Any more pics with the rare silver STi wheels?
Also, did you use any double sided tape to install your Greddy front lip?

Late reply, but yeah pm me if you want more photos. I didn't use any 3m for the greddy front lip, it's pretty snug once you fit the sides of the lip over the bumper.
