They look good. Too bad Rays are so expensive.

looks good...

What tire specs?

Might need to change the thread title. The wheels are 17s because the tires are 215/45R17:

Edit: Tagging @DarrenDriven. These wheels are labeled incorrectly in your Wheels Directory which you're maintaining. They should be 17" width and offset unknown. Yeah a nitpicky correction probably not worth changing but just pointing this out.

i knew they were a little small to be 18s. i wonder if they're 17x7.5 or 17.8, and what's the offset?

edit: i'm an idiot. if they're 215 tires, then they're most likely either 17x7 or 17x7.5.

@switchlanez, do you have any more scans of the exedy brz?

I don't have any others but I'll try to remember when I have time. My idea is to scan a bunch at once after I select the best few pages out of over 200 pages of JDM 86/BRZ goodness in a couple magazines... wheels and other BRZ/86 eye candy that I haven't seen posted yet on the wheel directory/seen on these forums.

awesome. where do you get these magazines?

it appears that volk doesn't have any 17x7 ce28n wheels. i'm going to make a wild guess that those are 17x7.5 because the tires don't look stretched to be 17x8. just need to know what offset they are now. :mad0259:

Oh if you're wondering about the wheels specs on those Volks for this car, I carefully looked thru the entire article and it isn't published. But I'm going to say they are 17x7.5 and the offset looks conservative (there are many pics with different angles online)... +48 or +44 are what I remember being available off the top of my head.

Edit: The magazines came free with parts I ordered from japanparts.com.

There's a CE28 (I'm not sure what's the difference with CE28N) available in 17x7.5 +44.

I just PM'd the BRZ GT300/Exmotion BRZ driver (he's my friend on facebook) asking him for these wheel specs. Hopefully he can respond if he's not too busy and I'll let you know what he says.

:w00t:

you know yamano and or sasaki? that's very cool.

@ayau I got a response:

there's also 7.5 +40 ce28's/le28s

Based on the response that @switchlanez got I am updating the topic title and the Wheel Directory to this: Volk Racing CE28 17x8.0 +38

thank you so much! for some reason, i didn't get the notification saying that you responded.

isn't 17x8 a little wide on 215 tires? maybe they wanted the stiffest sidewall and went with skinnier tires?

Bump for an answer to this. I know a 215 would be a bit stretched but it would be fine right? I'm have new wheels (17 x 8 et38) but don't have extra room to store the stock tires and I don't want them to go to waste. Could I run the stock tires til I burn them up and van slap on the 225s I want?

i did a little research on ideal tire and wheel sizes after asking that question.

in general, you want to match the wheel width to the tire tread width. each tire will have a different tread width. for example, a bridgestone re11 215/45/17 has a tread width of 8'', and the OEM 215/46/17 michelin primacy tire has a tread width of 7.5''. as you can see, both tires have the same specifications, but they have different tread widths.

if you look at pictures of the re11, you'll be able to see that the shoulders are much more squared vs. the OEM. this just shows that even though they have the same specification, they're made to accomodate different wheel sizes.

for you, fitting 8'' wheels on the OEM tires will give it a more stretched look than the RE11. you can find the tire tread widths on tirerack.com. hope that helps.

Stock suspension. tires: 235/45R17.

New Wheels!
 

I got bored of my OZ wheels and wanted to go lighter. I found this unicorn rim. Custom diamond black powdercoat. 33 pounds with Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 225/45/17 tires. Saved another 1.6 pounds per corner over my last setup which was -5.4 pounds per corner vs. stock already.
