Ran into this beautiful GT86 at Fuji Speedway yesterday.

One thing I found interesting was that both the front and rear fenders were rolled. Considering the specifications of the wheels and tires were not that aggressive I was rather surprised.

Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys the pictures. ;)

Brakes are *lost* in there! Aside from that, looks sweet...

I'd sooner go with 225/50-16s on smaller, lighter wheels, though.

Nice :)
Don't know if this still holds, but last time I checked the fenders were being rolled from factory ;)

Needs more offset you can still see the inside's of the fender!

Agreed, I am personally looking at 16" and 17" wheels for my future FRS.

Thats really interesting and I hope its still true.

Yea, its not flush but it still looks good. :)

Normally not a fan of putting 18s on a car this small and light but that does look good. Of course the extra weight is going to hurt performance but if "looKs" is your thing then that is a good look.

There are plenty of 18" rims that are lighter than the stock 17".

there are also plenty of 17" rims lighter than those 18" rims

Very true, but if someone wants 18s for the look, I wanted it to be clear that they didn't have to increase wheel weight.

that looks amazing. those wheels are pretty sweet.

Yea they are defiently rolled from the factory. Looks awesome!

Maybe, but until I see the tire weights Im not going to put a bet on it.

Hankook R-S3
225/45-17 25"OD = 25lbs
225/40-18 25.1"OD= 23lbs
2lbs saved by going to a 18" rim

Dunlop Z1*
225/45-17 = 26lbs
225/40-18 = 25lbs
1lb saved

Hoosier A6:
225/45-17 = 21lbs
225/40-18 = 20lbs
1lbs saved

You're going to gain weight when you upgrade from the stock tires to better, grippier tires regardless. But it's possible to keep the overall weight close to stock.

What's the weight of 215/45-17 for those tires? instead of 225/45-17?
