Help, 17x9 +35 or +45 RPF1? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

wgnzlz · 02-10-2013, 09:45 PM

I am getting ready to order a set of 17x9 rpf1 for my BRZ but still can't decide on the offset. I am not a fan of "poke" so the +35 has me a little nervous. However, according to FT86Speedfactory's post, this offset leaves space for a BBK. Now for the +45, I'm concerned about spring/strut clearance. Also, a BBK probably won't work this setup seeing how tight the space is on the +35 wheels.

The BBK fitment isn't a deal breaker since I wouldn't have the money for that for a long while. Also, I'd be going with 245/40 tires with either offset.

Help me decide!

Here's the 17x9+45, I think both look great but as you said, the +35 offset leaves room for a BBK in the future and also gives you a little more strut clearance.

Keep in mind that there aren't any 17x9+35's in stock usually as it is a special order wheel with a minimum of 10 sets. I only know of one vendor that has any coming in, and that will be a couple months or so before they get them. I believe the +45 is typically in stock as it is a standard offset in 5x100.

Go 255

Thanks for the quick responses. I think I found on vendor that has the +35 in stock. If they don't, I will probably go with the +45. Hopefully I won't have any inner clearance issues.

If you have the factory struts on the front the +45 is going to be REALLY close, especially if you add neg camber using bolts. I got a set of the +35s from LSD Motorsports and have RCE springs/Whiteline camber bolts. Test fit the wheels and I have less than 1/2 in clearance (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...3&postcount=26) between the strut and the inside edge of the rim in the front. If you end up going with coilovers you'll have more room and the +45 probably would be fine as far as clearance with the strut is concerned.

I just found a set of +35 in stock. It's decision time.

I needed a 5mm spacer for front clearance with 17x9 +42 rota grids w/ 245 Z1's on stock suspention.

+35 if you can get them. They cleared my fenders fine with only camber bolts

wgnzlz · 02-11-2013, 09:06 PM

How much camber did you have to run?

Gearhd79 · 02-11-2013, 09:47 PM

I think the +35's poke out too much for my taste...have you looked at the Mach V rims yet..I think they are a +42 and they look like they clear everything and work with BBK

Any pictures of your setup?

Gearhd79 - I have considered the Mach V and still have not ruled them out.

Get +35, it does poke a little till you upgrade your suspension though.
