When I was looking for this exact setup, Ebay was the best place I found.

if you can find some 18 x 8.5 +40 set ill trade you two of my 9.5, I purchased mine all 9.5 but want to go 8.5 for the front too.

Just wondering, are you guys going for just looks for performance also? I ask because most, if not all, people on here would agree going staggered would hinder handling performance. Maybe not to the degree you'll notice if you don't track or anything, but especially with a bigger wheel and heavier wheel + tire set-up, you'll notice a slightly more sluggish ride quality..

I'm in it for the looks, shes a dily driver, not a track car, But I was very curious what the pros and cons of staggered is specific to this car? (BRZ)

There's many threads on here about staggered in general and even of of the set-up you're looking for/same wheels haha.
Basically it causes understeer for the vehicle. Going into corners doesn't feel as exciting or as precise. I personally find this vehicle already understeers slightly from factory, though it's easy to make it oversteer.. if that makes sense.
Anyhow, you won't get the freedom to rotate tires all around and if you plan to do any mountain runs or driving that requires quick cornering, staggered will be a bit detrimental.
