Seen this at all star!!! Looks great!

Why is it illegal? Not doubting you, I'm just curious, I've never heard of width being regulated like that. Here if you have wide tires/wheels they generally have a maximum the can poke, go over that and you have to have wider fenders or mud flaps but they will still let you do it.

Two reasons, one is the increase in track (So Offset+Width plays a role), the other is that in Australia the wheel cannot protrude beyond the body work (So effectively no "poke" if you define that as beyond the bodywork).

The reasons are mechanical safety (increased track increases the risk of component failure), and Pedestrian safety (Poke increases the risk of pedestrian injury).

This is Australia so we'd rather prevent you from doing something stupid, than allow you to do it then sue somebody.

This is exactly what I wanted to see and it looks great. Do you have anymore pics?

So if you were to run wide and put wider arches/flares on your car to cover the tire/wheel would it still be a no go due to insurance as well? And you have it backwards people wait for you to something stupid they they sue you..

We both know what we mean - :thumbsup: you can't prevent stupidity.

You'd have to get the car inspected and certified before it would be legal to register it. Then you'd have to declare it to your insurance company who could still refuse to cover you.

Either way the car looks absolutely beautiful as is, thanks for humoring my questions :)

Beutiful, I wish my girlfriend looked like that

Moar!

10's do not fit on the front anyways without a stupid hella flush setup.

I am running 18x9.5 +38 fronts with 235's and this is as aggressive as you can go without adding more negative camber (I am at -1.5) and messing with your fenders / fender liner as well

And you're completely uncorrect without testing it 1st hand! :thumbup:

"incorrect" and go ahead with your counter..

a 12mm socket doesn't fit over a 20mm nut. you don't need to try it to know it

Typo... lol ever notice your "U" and "I" key are right next to each other?

Also, I'll have pics of a square 18x10 setup that CAN be used on track days when I'm back in the country without the stupid amount of camber you have embedded in your mind.

What they said.:thumbup:

I have to agree with you. I don't see why you could not run 10" in the front. Many people run 9.5" wide wheels and it looks fine. With the correct offset and camber settings, it should be able to be done.

On topic, the WRB and white looks gorgeous. Nice job.

This looks like the same BRZ that was picked by Subaru of America among their fan photos on Facebook last Friday:

10+38 is already illegal and sorry but that is BS about the insurance.

I'm not a fan of the white but I do love those rims. Stance needs work, even just some crash bolts and more - at the front would help.

Also I think it would look better with a square offset, but I guess if you didn't want to push the limits on the front then at least you can have some dish at the back.

Well, no it isn't if your car is not legal/roadworthy, your insurance company can (and will) refuse to pay out.

Check your insurer's PDS for your insurance, but certainly mine says that all mods must be declared and legal and the vehicle must be in a roadworthy condition.

I absolutely love it. THUMBS UP!

This is one of my fav cars on here.

You're right in theory, all insurers require adr compliance, but in 10 years I've not heard of a refused claim over it and I'm in one of the most anal states for road worthiness.

Just this year I had a full write off payout on an at fault claim with a very defectable car both height, track, as well as various engine and suspension mods and the driver wasn't even on my policy (justcar).

Sorry to derail the thread and thanks for the pics OP.

Yep, sorry for the derail from me also.

Luck of the draw on insurance (I'm in QLD and insurers generally do not have a good rep here - flood insurance being a biggy).

Love the white on WRB though.

so is there any poke with this set up? I am loving the fitment and as long as they are flush with no crazy camber I am sold.

How do you feel the car with those wheels? It is slowly or is the same?

Sorry for reviving a dead post, but I must know a few things because I decided that this will be my set-up.

One, did you guys do any fender work on the rear for it to fit.
Two, would I be okay to run at stock height for a month or two while waiting for coils.
And Three, would KW V3 coils be an okay substitute as oppose to BC coils. Thanks guys. I appreciate it!

The bc racing coilovers are normal or the extreme low option ??

Nice. I bet this set u

I want this setup sooo bad!! love it

Looks so good. But just too much weight. :(

What bc racing coilover are does standar or extreme low ? what springs rate are they 8k ?

standard spring, and standard height right out of the box.

Thanks for the reply can you pm me a quote for the coilovers im from puerto rico mi zip code is 00725

$1200 shipped for coil over to PR.

1. Standard spring length. Spring should be 8/8 standard, but I'll double check. Also can be change to whatever rate u want.

2. WORK Kiwami caps, I think it's black color. Flat version.

3. See #1.

I'm trying to understand the rationale for xxx/40 tires up front but xxx/35 tires in the back ... Is this simply to match the circumference of the stock wheels/tires for speedometer accuracy, while giving the front more height for comfort? Is it simply for stance?

Work Emotion XD9 question
 

Okay, I have gone back and forth with RavSpec about tire sizing for the XD9s. Does anyone on here have the XD9s with 245/35 front with 9.0" width and 255/35 rear with 10.0" width? And are you on BCR coilovers? Let me know your set up. Would like better wheel coverage than 235/35 front and 245/35 rear.

What's the offset of the wheels? Pretty important information. Also how much camber are you running? Type of coils don't matter.

However it's likely the larger tire size you are wanting will fit fine.

offset is 38

There are plenty people with these wheels with the BCR CO setup. Just waiting on one their responses for confirmation before I order.

There are a few people here running 18x10s all around with similar size/taller tire sizes and they fit fine from what I've read. I would personally just 225/40s up front. 225s on a 9j will be the same as running 245s on a 10j
