Awesome build! Everything is tastefully done.

Question...
Did you run your wheel set up with a stock suspension, and if so, do you think it could be run on at most a 2" drop? Sorry for the question, but I am still trying to wrap my head around the whole backspacing tire size thing. I think I about have it now. lol

It's an INGs bumper. Yes, it removes the emblem.

That front bumper will look great too while being functional
You might have to disable the headlight washers though.. well.. remember NOT to use them while the lights are on.
Thanks, I don't have headlight washers. I didn't even know that was an option? Those things are useless anyways.

hows your M5 doing?...good to see you here on FT86 forum.
I put exhaust on that thing and it cost as much as a turbo on this build. lol.. It's not much of a car to mod so I sold the M5. I'll have my M3 back soon so I'd pretty much have two similar cars so I wanted something different. BRZ is a fun toy to play with F10 M5 is a fun car out of the box that pretty much annihilates anything it comes across on the street.

Thanks, I had the 19" wheels on stock suspension set up for about a day before installing the KW V3s. I'm not sure what sizing would work. These wheels were made for the brz.

That being said, out of curiosity, what offset did you decide to get your wheels in? +33 front, +43 rear?

I may sell my wheel set up since I plan on doing a wide body.

I know... I got issues.

I want wide body and V8!

Too much down time on the v8 so I'm gonna do the wide body first most likely.

No worries. I was just wondering what kind, if any, fitment issues you had. I am probably sticking with a square set up, either in 17x9 or 18x8.5, but was tossing around the idea of 19's. Thanks for your reply.

I pulled the fenders because I'm running zero camber. If it has some negative camber it'll tuck in fine.

17's & 18's would be good if you want better speed/ handling. I like the 19's because (to me) it makes the car look more expensive/ modern. Like the new Porsche 911's comes with 20's.
