So, I've done a ton of reading and quite a bit of math to go with it. I think I've figured out a safe upsize which will allow me to get wider wheels and tires without upsetting the stock suspension geometry or increasing scrub radius a significant amount. The wheels I'm planning to purchase at this point don't appear to be listed in any of the threads as something people have tried/confirmed fitment for, but the size is a match from some BBS wheels so I'm pretty confident about this. That said, it never hurts to ask the experts and verify first before I drop $3k on wheels.

2017 BRZ Limited, I'm planning to put Volk ZE40 Time Attack Edition 8Jx18 ET44 wheels mounted with Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Positions 225/40R18 tires. If my calculations are correct the scrub radius should be positive compared to stock by less than 1mm and I should be able to clear the suspension components with these wheels/tires without a problem.

Can someone confirm fitment for above: 8Jx18ET44 225/40R18?

Also, any opinions on the plastic hub centric rings from hubcentric-rings.com? Looks like I'll need a 65.0mm to 56.1mm ring for a perfect fitment to the wheel hub on a BRZ.

I'm also split between getting the McGard splinedrive lug nuts and getting the matching Rays Dura-Nut lug nuts. Any thoughts?
