I love a proper meaty tire. Cheers. Car looks great!

Looks good but 265 wide ? Struth ! That would cost a pretty penny.

Those are some nice looking wheels!

I think the back needs to be dropped just a bit more, the front looks lower.

How much did those run in price for you?

The wheels came surplus from Japan...about $950 shipped

Your BRZ made me decide to get a set of 18x9 and meaty tires.


thanks

Please post these pictures up so the boneheads running 205 tires on a 10"+ wheel can understand functional fitment. This is a proper setup.

On a side note; did you notice any power loss? Car feel slower? Less fun to drive with all that grip?

You can say there's a tad bit of a drag compared to the stock 17" wheels in the range of 1k-2.5k rpm range, but no power loss. When these wheels start to roll, you'll hardly notice any difference from the 17" wheels.

nice! and you got an awesome deal on those wheels for that price too

Did you rub at all?
