Plus 0 tire sizing
This is my first post. Seeing that I am first in line for a BRZ at my dealership I thought I better join in. Does anyone know if a 225/45/17 tire mounted on the stock wheel will clear the housing and suspension without spacers? Thanks in advance.

If it didn't, I'd be ridiculously surprised.

Of course no-one has actually tried it, but that's a significantly shorter tyre than either the optional TRD fitment, or the ones fitted to the BRZ STi teaser.
Take from that what you will. |

Useful comparison. I am sure you know it already but for those that don't, the 245/40/17 size is not a plus 0 option for the stock wheel. It requires an 8" rim width.

BRZ STi concept is reported to have 215/45R18 fronts and 225/45R18 rears.
Hopefully that is functional on first run production models, although I'm not sure why someone with only 147kw would want to increase the gearing that much. |
