BRZ STi Alloy Wheel Size and Offset?
 
Does anyone know the spec of this wheel sold by Subaru? Along with weight would be even better.

These are 17x7.5 or 7 and they have a +48 offset. I can't confirm weight, but I would expect somewhere in the 19-20lb category.

If it is 17x7.5 that would be perfect. But it seems like there is no weight advantage against stock wheel.

Yeah I can't remember if the usdm wheels are 7 or 7.5. I know for a fact that the JDM versions are 7.5. But yeah, no weight advantages at all. You want something light you have to go smaller like a 16" or 17" RPF1 or forged.

USDM STI wheels on the Series Blue are 17x7. The JDM version are 17x7.5

Shark_Bait88 06-02-2017 03:01 PM

Yep, 17x7 +48. I believe weights are somewhere around 18-19lbs, so slightly less than the regular stock wheels.

I have them on my Firestorm FR-S and really like the look.

First off, lovely FRS. Secondly, stock suspension/ride height?

Thank you! And yes, although the angle I took the picture at almost makes it seem like there's even more wheel gap than usual.

But in comparison to the amount of gap from body roll in this picture, it really doesn't look all that bad. haha

Nasty body roll over there, you will add lowering springs or coilovers?

Nope. I have to stick with stock springs and OEM replacement shocks, because I run in a street class for autocross. Currently have Koni shocks on the car.

I find oz racing alleggerita hlt really lightweight. But it only got 17x8 +48 or 18x8 +48.

I know the series yellow wheels are 17"x7.5" but are they the same rim as the jdm sti 17"x7.5" rim but with different center caps?

Also I see a lot of 16" and 17"x7" (series blue) guys getting nice fitment with 20mm/25mm spacers. Would the series yellow 17"x7.5" yield the same results with spacers or is the offset different and they require spacers of another size?

Already available here: https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/41618.

Wheel measurements are 18x7.5, +48 offset. DSOmegaX has them on his car already. Not sure if he weighed them or not, but I'll review his build thread.

From his build thread.
