It pains me to ask this, but are the 18x10 +35 wheels listed in the initial post a typo or was that specific offset discontinued? I see 18x10 +40 listed all over so I am wondering if the 5mm spacer listed in your original post is where the +35 came from.

The XXR wheels on Blub are +40 but it looks like they have been discontinued. We're not a dealer, got them off ebay.

I've just tracked my 2022 BRZ Limited for the first time. Love the car. I'm an ex-SCCA racer...
Fabricated my own Alumalite splitter before I ever saw yours. Going to lower the wing after what you brought up in a video. I bought it used and just stuck it on. The tall wing mounts are how I bought it!
My journal.
I'm wondering if you are happy with the Wilwood brakes? I want to ditch the sliders on my car!

Emilio - just wanted to say how much I appreciate this thread. Took a few years off from tracktime (had 6 miatas before, thus knowing about 949) and after a weekend at ORP in my DD BRZ I'm re-hooked.

Thanks for the no-BS /// Feelings != data attitude across the last 30 pages.

Only thing I regret is having bought 17x8 6ULs thinking 'oh, 8s will be fine, I'm only gonna track it on occasion' LOL
