Looks great OmegaKnight! Do you know how much the wheels weighed before you installed the tires?

Thanks!

I didn't weigh them but I believe the weight is around 17 lbs per wheel.

Is this with stock suspension or do your have aftermarket springs / coilovers?

Stock suspension for now.

Now lowered on BC Coilovers.

Awesome!

I don't know . . Love the rims, love the satin white . .. I just can't understand this drop or any drop in general.

The OEM is already so low that another inch creates unnecessary clearance issues with so many driveways, low-lying obstructions, potholes, uneven roads, etc. etc.

Love the TE37's! Looks good!

I saw your car at FNL over the weekend! Looks so good! I had the Red FRS with Toyota Badges by the JDMC tent.

Saw this thing at FNL as well, looks great!

LOL!

I love love love those wheels and the look of the drop. However, how much has the handling suffered at that ride height? What are your driving impressions? Thanks!

Tires would look better with a 235, but I like the overall look you've got.

I haven't had any problems with driveways, potholes, speedbumps, etc. as well as no fender rubbing. I feel this is a very daily driver friendly setup, but I was used to driving a WRX that was quite lower than this so results may vary.

I remember seeing it, I was hoping to meet the ft86 members there but it was too big of a meet and everyone left from the rain.

I don't believe handling and ride suffered much at all, but I haven't pushed it 10/10ths on this setup. I originally had a 1" drop for about a week then went down another inch and it feels about the same. Turn in and feel is sharper than stock and the ride is about the same.

I bought the wheels used and they came with the tires, after seeing how much room I have I would like to go with a wider tire in the future.

Looks great! :thumbsup:

Do you have any photos straight from the front? I would like to see how much the 9 inch wides poke out of the front fenders, if at all.

Hey op, does the rim of the 9 inch wide + 45 offset come close to the inside of the suspension or inner fender wall?

Is there any way we could get some pics? Big time thanks in advanced.

I actually do have a full frontal. This should work.

The wheels barely cleared the stock front struts. I didn't have any problems but if you're putting a wide tire you might need spacers. I don't have any pics as I'm on coilovers now and there is plenty of clearance all around.

:thumbup:

by how much do you reckon? wanting to put 245s on mine..

I would say a few mm's at most, might have to get a small spacer just in case.

thanks
I don't like spacers, They'll fit or I will put 8s on the front, maybe should have ordered them...

I'm Planning to get this with exact set up of 18x9+45 with Advan Neova AD08 235/45r18. You said it barely cleared the struts, was this because you have a coil-over 2" lower than stock? If I have a coil-over which lowers the car by 1-1.5" will it hove more space or still the same?

No it was because he was on stock suspension. He said he has plenty of clearence with his coilovers.

Yea, you will be fine with 235's and coilovers. The only concern was with stock struts.

I just changed my mind and I'm getting TE37SL Black Edition 18x8.5+35 / 18x9.5+40 staggard set-up. They said its the perfect fit, I do hope so.

Like your set up. I am looking to attend FR-S and BRZ events,if you hear of any let me know and I will do the same.

Thanks
"burn rubber not your soul"

Nice, I would have probably done the same if I were buying new.

Thanks, I'll probably be at the Touge Factory meet on May 5th.

What rubber do you plan on running? Nice set-up. Who is "they" that calls this the perfect combo, not that I'm disagreeing?
Thanks for sharing.

That staggered setup was made specifically for this platform by being flush all around and having plenty of clearance on the inside as well. This 18x9 +45 was meant for WRX's but is probably better performance wise by keeping a square setup.

How do you feel the car with those wheels? It is slowly or is the same?

It actually felt faster because they're lighter than stock lol.

I want say that your BRZ looks great! Sorry for thread jacking but would some 17x9 +45's have the same clearance with stock suspension as these 18x9 +45's or would there be a little more space for a wider tire? Thanks.

Thanks, I would say it would be about the same, you might get away with a 235 or even 245 depending on what tires since some run wider than others, but that would be pushing it without testing it first hand.

Thanks, I am thinking about playing it safe and get some 5mm spacers so that I can run a 245/40 and then the offset would be +40. Is there a detriment to the wheels or suspension by using spacers? I've noticed that alot of people don't like to use them.

Should be alright using a good quality spacer. People don't like them because it is just something extra that could possiby go wrong. I'm thinking of using a small spacer in the rear so it can sit a bit more flush all around.

I think a few people run the 17x9 +45 Enkei rpf1s maybe you can search what setups they use.

I purchased a set of TE37SL Black Edition 18x9s ... Now am considering the rubber choices while I wait for them to arrive. I'm on stock suspension currently, and was thinking about going with 245/35 ... what are your thoughts on clearance?
