No worries!

I'm curious what you gonna run for winter instead of the gravel tires?

I found these Yokohama Geolandar A/T 205 70 15 and thought they would be a good all-round non snow tire to run on the street.

I'll be going with General Altimax Artics. Good reviews, and one of the best rallyx snow tires available (though I may still get some real gravel tires too). Lots of sizes available.

I was hoping to avoid something extra tall and unfortunately all the A/T tires are taller than I'd like. Might still be good fun on the street though.

Went on a lil cruise before all the colour is gone

Enkei RC-G5 wheels are on the car. With the tight caliper and tie rod clearance, I recommend having a conversation with your tire guy prior to mounting. We put the wheels on the car first so they could see where wheel weights will and will not work. I'll take some pictures next time the car is up in the air.

I did get the ~$60 Enkei aluminum hubcentric rings. Will probably get some cheap center caps for street driving.

Barely driven on them so far...nothing really to report outside the obvious that it's very different than 225/45/17 summer tires.

My car is very dirty...need the wheels to get equally dirty so they match. :)

Still funny to be driving on 15's. The 15x7 with 205/65/15s would definitely be "beefier" but I think this set up (15x6.5 with 195/65/15) will be better for rallyx and arguably better in the snow. Would probably do the 205s and 15x7 for backroads fun and stuff.

Just as another data point, I test fit my 215/60r16 wheels on my currently lowered setup in prep for when I can finally put my lifted set up on and there was zero rubbing.

I saw earlier in the thread that some one fitted 215/65r16s, did they rub?

Super hot day... ending up mega dusty.
But awesome fun.

I haven't seen any BRZ/GT86 with these wheels. They come in white and graphite and 17x7-ET45 and 18x8-ET45.

I would think that they would be a perfect connection to Subaru Impreza rally cars.

Any opinions?

If only they were available in 16"

Finally received the last of my parts from Toyota and was able to install my TRD Rally suspension and 1" strut spacers. I am very happy with how it turned out. On the road it feels great, soaks up bumps like a champ and corners far better than I expected. The larger 215/60R16 tyres do take the edge off the acceleration though. Long term I may try find one of the newer 4.3:1 diffs to bring it back in line with how it used to feel.

Also a photo of how it was before.

Latest rally day, awesome fun.

I've only had my 2 inch lift and 215/65/16 Grabbers for a few weeks now.
