I am on Tire Rack dot com right now,
looking at a set of 18" Rims to go with 225/40/48 Michelin Pilot Sport Tires.
Do you think this would require the spacers ?

225/40/18 is the size you mean? With those size tires and the right wheels with proper offset you won't need spacers.

@kuczynskika

yes sorry typo! i am looking for that setup, thank you for the update. Keeps me from doing too much with just the stock suspension.

Only thing now is to find a local dealership who can work on the TPMS on my stock rim set up so i dont have to order a new set.

Alaska problems

You should be able to transfer the tpms over no problem. If theyre a good shop it isn't hard. I've had the same sensors on 3 different sets of wheels

I'm hoping to get the Michelin Super Sport Tires, but whoa they are expensive.
Well better start spoiling my wife more so she won't be too mad if i get some new shoes on the car.

I like your wheel setup. very sti looking, but i want the same but with chrome/silver colorways. Any suggestions?

Black is my preference. There's a reason why the 2015 tS is advertised exclusively with black wheels.

Nice. Yeah @weederr33 Perrin oil cooler looks beastly. Excited to see where your build goes! I've been subbed ever since you started doing your cossy install. Cool stuff!

Got some new stuff in and installed. The tS interior trim pieces are pretty inexpensive, so I figured... why not? New tS shift knob has a great feel with genuine leather. Still have the 2015 faux carbon dash coming in on Monday and the STI genuine rear underspoilers soon as well. I will update with new pics once everything is installed.

I like the STI knob. It would look better if it was red like the WRX STIs' knob. But I'm digging the build. Kinda like what I'm doing by adding more TRD crap :p

If I had an FRS like you I would have all kinds of TRD shit. OEM just has that feel lol.

I've noticed that TRD stuff tends to be more expensive than STI but some of it is worth it I guess :bonk:

Agreed. JDM Toyota is totally expensive. The USA stuff isn't that bad tho.

Aww thanks bro :wub:

Well I've got a few more things in mind. But in terms of power, I think I'm good for the next year or so. Just about stability and chassis reinforcement now. I.e. more TRD bits :p

Here's a before and after with all the new trim. Certainly makes the cabin a little more covert and undercover. Once the 2015 tS red accents are released they will compliment the grays and blacks nicely.

A note about the bleeders on the Brembos. They are installed from the factory with red loctite. You have to use a torch to weaken the seal and they come right out. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90441

Car looks awesome by the way!
