18x8.75 For daily.
 
http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tires-rims/ci...res/1172473561

Im thinking about buying these.

First off, would these fit on my Stock height Subaru BRZ without issues?

Im going to use these for daily driving. Would it help/make worse my mileage/acceleration? Im mostly looking for a aestetically pleasing wheel but will help improve mileage/speed.

Are these too big? Should I go smaller for daily driving? I don't track.

The wider the worse the gas mileage. But you'll have more grip in corners and during acceleration.
I drive with 9,5rear and 8,5 front. My gas mileage went from 8-8,5l/100km to about 9-9,5 (sorry for the unit) it's not a terrible increase. But it's there non the less.
Normally 8,75 shouldn't give any fitment problems if I'm correct. Maybe you could also check the wheel directory on this forum for more info.

Im Canadian so I use the same units.

That's odd, Im getting 9.9L/100km right now. AT transmission.

I must be doing something wrong...

Would the wheels I linked even be able to fit on my car? Size/bolts wise. Im not too educated on wheels.

Also anybody know if the wheels are any good?

Oh and, these should help with my acceleration?

Maarten 06-16-2016 05:52 PM

Yea twins are also 5x100 and Et 35 will fit perfect flush in the front. But the rear will be slightly to much inwards. But only about 5-10mm so it won't show that much.

BTW I drive an mt and do quite allot of highway driving. I'm also not accelerating like crazy on every light.
If I go for a fun ride I average about 11l/100km

What do you mean by rear being slightly too inwards? Sorry, I'm new to this. I never expected to mod my car past cosmetic mods.

Oh that makes sense. Im usually driving locally and not highway.

Maarten 06-16-2016 05:59 PM

The Et value is how much the wheel moves outwards. The higher the Et the more it moves out.
Like I said. Check the wheel directory. You'll learn allot. It's pinned up at the top in the wheels and tires group/folder or whatever you call it.

Fit? It will fit fine.
Too big? It's not in terms of spec. It will look like shit with stock suspension without camber adjustment. Even with camber it will look weird.

Acceleration and mileage will be worse. If you want better mileage, get some Prius wheels.

Thanks for the replies fam.

Im looking for other options now, something that will hopefully look better on stock height.

Maarten 06-16-2016 06:51 PM

Not much will look real good on stock height.

Check the wheel directory for what different wheels will look like.


This thread has multiple pictures of the wheels you're interested in on a car with stock suspension: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15163

I have 18x8.75 +36 for my dailies. They look and drive fine. I'm lowered so that helps the fender gap. 18s will look better than the stock 17s but not as good as lowered 18s. No different wheel will change this. Fender gap is ugly and only lowering can fix it. Doesn't mean your wheels have to be ugly too

Rule: Don't go 18" unless you also lower.
