Everyone has seen these photos of IAG Performance's BRZ. I loved the setup, but couldn't find any info. I did some emailing and enquiring to get their setup info so that @DarrenDriven can get the info added to the wheel fitment guide.

Lowered on BC Racing coilovers
Front: 18x8.5 +35 (235/40)
Rear: 18x9.5 +30 (245/40)

Thank you for the pictures. Very nice choice on the rims. The car looks great. I am having a hard time deciding what to get. May I ask what colour they are? is that silver or chrome or something else. Thanks for the help.

I think they are just machined. Not chrome.

Yup, silver machined.

I hadn't seen these before. Holy crap they look way more expensive than they actually are!

Yea wheels looks great on this red brz.

40 series with slight pull and roll? Maybe some 35s would clear with no modding fenders?

That or potentially a 225/235 vs 235/245

Wowie. These are definitely in the running for what wheels I get!

Did some numbers, and looks like fender mods wouldn't be needed unless you wanted to go as low as their BRZ.


18x9.5 +30 is equal to 18x10 +38, (technically 1.65mm different. Equates to 0.064" more poke on the +30) which is a package being sold now. See link.

Looks like it would be feasible with a bit less aggressive drop with 225/40 up front and 245/35 on the rear. Camber set to -1 front and -2.5 rear.

They are Machined/Silver.

I'm really in love with the sizing on this setup.

thank you. If my car is not lowered there should be no need to touch the wheel wells?. If that is the case I will be definately getting this rim/ tire combo for my Raven.

We're not the first to fit these wheels, but I thought I'd share the results. The car is lowered 1 inch on Eibach Pro Kit. Very happy with how it turned out!

Merged... same wheels, same specs.

Very nice, do you know the weight of these wheels?

I will weigh the 8.5/18 tonight. I am going square on stock height for now and will have pictures March 30 as that is when they are going on the car. The finish is a little less than shiny than chrome but still makes a bold statement. 225 40 18 all around

interested in weight as well

i've been debating on getting these...

Mine are for sale and you're close enough for pickup :thumbsup:

PM me for details!

Weight
 

The weight of the 18 by 8.5 inch rim is just under 22 lbs.

Pics of them mounted on your ride, please?

here you go
 

here are picks
 

Here are a few pictures

Hoping some of you with these cars are still finding this thread. Do you know what camber you all have? I am just guessing the white car is at standard camber with whatever springs are on the car? There isn't a picture showing the front fitment on the black car, so I was wondering if there was any poke on that one.

I really like these wheels and may get them, but I am dead set against poke, and I do not want to run excessive camber. With the somewhat aggressive (borderline?) offsets, I am trying to understand the differences in fitment with the exact same wheels.

more pics
 

Here are after today's wash and wax

Just put mine on today. Needs more low. Springs are coming. Even at stock height, the fronts are flush to just inside with Whiteline bolts set at max negative. Rears poke just a tiny bit, but once lowered an inch, they should be just about perfect. The Pole Positions are sooooooo much nicer than the stock tires - quieter, better riding, way more grip.

Thanks to B2 Autodesigns for the great price and service on the wheels, rings, and lugs.

Some shots showing fitment. The fist vertical shot is the front. You can see it is already slightly tucked, even at stock ride height. The second vertical shot is the rear, which pokes just a couple mm's. Should correct itself when lowered. Planning on a 1 inch drop, Hotchkiss springs are on order.

Mike

Hot knees :wub:

those are sick, especially on the slammed red car.

Yes sir! Actually I am just happy when the car is clean enough to see a reflection at all.

@mistressmotorsports interested to see it with the 1" drop and any more camber adjustments

Here you go. I wound up with Eibachs because the Hotchkiss' were back ordered for a while at Tire Rack. So this is about a 7/8 inch drop. Front camber is at 1.75 and slightly tucked. I have Whiteline camber bolts in front. Rear came out right at 2 deg with no extra parts needed. Rear is flush to slightly tucked depending on where you look. I am super happy with the way this came out.

One thing to highlight. My rear wheels are 42 offset, not the 30 that is more commonly advertised for this car/wheel. I am glad I went with the 42's. the 30's would have poked with my drop and camber.

A shout out goes to B2 Auto Designs on this forum. They were great to deal with on the wheels, rings, and lugs. Good price, great service. No affiliation, just a happy customer.

Wow, it made a big difference and it is sitting very nice. I saw these wheels at 86Fest in person and they look great. These may be the one. Thanks for the tip on the off sets.

I have these in Black on my car...check the build thread in my sig for pics. Love these wheels.

Your car looks great mistressmotorsports. Simple and clean the way I like it and thanks for the kind words.

Kind of hard to see the detail on the wheels but you guys can get a good idea of fitment. This is my personal car I went with 18x9.5 +42 and 18x9.5 +30

Hey mate how'd you get those offsets? I've been on their site and if i want 18x9.5 square than i can only get a +30 offset :(

They sent blanks for mine and we machined the offset and bolt pattern to fit the car. I went a little more conservative with +38/42 offsets.

That's strange they should come in the +42 as well. I just sent out another set last week with those exact same offsets. Let me know if you need any help with a set I can definitely set you up with what you need. Thanks!

Im in Australia though, is that okay?
