I see you are running coilovers, did you need spacers or anything to make it work?

If you are not sure if you have spacers, can you take a picture from where the wheel meets up with the brake rotors? a little on the side looking where the wheel and the brake rotors meet.

Can you please send me pictures of how the wheels are with the body? (are they a little in, flush with the body)

They are pretty flush with the body, just a little inward. No spacers needed IMO.

Are ANY of the Raijin colorways finished or coated? I live in the Northeast of USA and dont want another unfinished or uncoated rim. The corrosion and upkeep is too much for me daily this car if the rims cloud up every week :)

I believe the grey and black rims are finished/ coated, the polished set might not be.

I'm looking into getting some enkei's 18x9.5 +45 all around and was worried about inner clearance issues. I'm glad I found this thread. So do you guys think I'll be fine? I'll be running them with 235/40/18 tires so they may stretch a tad

Bump for answers!

You would need coilovers or they will hit the strut i'm about 98% sure.

Thanks, I'm running BC BR coilovers. I really want these wheels so I'm hoping it's fine

Are you lowered about 1.5 inches or so from the looks of it? Looks pretty sweet...

Not sure about the lowering amount, but likely close to 1.5" drop.

It rubs a little bit at full lock on, so I'll try raising 1/4" to see if it helps.

Otherwise, no issues. :burnrubber:

Which camber kit do you guys use? I've been trying to research a few but I havent find any that caught my attention, Im also thinking of purchasing Godspeed coilovers or KW v1. Thanks in advance!

18x9.5 All Around

Are coilovers a must to run these wheels on the BRZ? I'm considering purchasing a set of Eibach Sportline Spings when purchasing these wheels. I'm still mulling over tire sizes but I have so many other questions I need to find answers to first.

Won't fit with springs unless you add 8-10mm+ of spacers. 8-10mm spacers won't fit on stock studs, so you need to get extended lugs or bolt on spacers.

It will fit with coilovers.

Any spacers would make the wheel poke out of the fender which would cause rubbing on the fender and look terrible.
