Those look good on a WRB BRZ

Big tires. Those are around 1.3" taller than stock. Be aware of the change in your reported speed. When your speedometer says 60, those tires add more than 3mph on top of that to your speed.

They might be 40's I need to go check, I forgot to do that earlier.

Aren't most in agreement the speedometer reads a little high from the factory? I went with a 235/40 not quite as tall as a 225/45 but still bigger than stock.

Mine was on the mark with the GPS speedometer in my phone.

They look like 40's like mine... 45 is much taller...
On a mid-sized raceway like Streets of Willow and Road Atlanta, those tires should provide a great mid-range and low speed torque range, and gears would be really fun to use on 2-4th. Mine's a paddle AT but manual would even get a bit more closer, involved and tactile in those places with just the right amount of power to keep a big smile on your face every exit of a corner.
You'll love them.

My SSR Type C-RS is a specially made 18x7.5 offset 47 and I use a 20mm oversized long stud and 10mm hubcentric spacer to bring them out to 37 offset. I use 225/40-18 and works wonderfully with or without spacers. I try to keep maximum loading with narrower track on a raceway, and use the spacer to bring it out a tad for cosmetic effect on street use, sacrificing a little leverage drop on suspension loads to keep the ride softer too.

Down the "Corkscrew" at Laguna Seca Raceway... Here it's without the 10mm spacer.

Scion FRS by Moto@Club4AG, on Flickr

With 10mm spacer (+37 adjusted offset, from +47)
With 20mm extended hub-bolts, I can go another 10 with a 20mm hubcentric plate spacer if needed.

20mm extended studs and 10mm hubcentric spacer.

20mm over vs, stock hub bolts.
Note: this particular 20mm over bolts have 1.5mm pitch Toyota threads which go in faster and strips less easily, ideal for motorsports where time is money, and durability over repeated use is critical. (though its not THAT much difference...) Subaru uses 1.25 pitch on the hub bolts on FRS/BRZ and rendered my big collection of Toyota wheel nuts basically useless, so I changed them to Toyota pitch to allow use of them. More a matter of convenience for previous Toyota owners. One can just as get one for Nissan/Subaru and keep it 1.25 just as well.

A combinaiton of good set of long studs like this, and true high quality, accurately milled, "HUBCENTRIC" hub spacers, one can freely choose offset corrections to 20mm +/- using mild offset wheels, safely, without risky and cumbersome adapter plates.

Hub-centric in the case of the FRS/BRZ is 56mm hub, to be precisely centered and loaded.

Thanks Moto-P I'll consider changing my studs and grabbing a 10 or 12mm spacer! I really like your look with it pushed out a bit further.

ALSO, I checked the tire size and Moto-P is correct my tires are 225/40 R18 and I changed the first post to reflect this! Thanks!

@Moto-P what size studs did you purchase and where did you purchase them from. i.e. what is the Knurl Diameter and total stud length?
