Another question; I drive a 2014 BRZ on stock suspension, will I have an issue running 245's?

Thanks for participating in the recent community Group Buy. For a BRZ without the PP, 245/40-17 tires will be a very nice fit without any front strut clearance concerns.
Our 86/BRZ wheels are made to be very user-friendly, and I've included some notes below.
- The 86/BRZ ARC-8 wheels can be used with all 86/BRZ OEM and aftermarket mounting hardware with a 60° tapered seat (i.e Muteki, Project Kiks, etc). We’ve slightly tweaked the design of the lug nut seats to perfectly support the use of OEM hardware without compromising strength or safety.
Unlike the narrow lug recesses of many other wheels, the ARC-8 wheel boasts a completely wide-open wheel hardware recess that easily fits race lug-nuts and the beefy adapters or impact sockets used to fit them. This allows for quick and easy wheel changes at the track, or just as a bonus; prevents chips and scratches from tools upon install or removal.
Extended studs are not necessary unless you are installing spacers where extra thread engagement is required.
- Our wheels are hub-centric with a 56.1mm center bore so that no centering rings are required.
- Some users like their aftermarket parts to blend in; for us that means details are not overlooked like compatibility with factory center caps. Our ARC-8 wheels are designed to accept factory or 49mm direct replacement OE style center caps from the FR-S, 86 or BRZ.
Each wheel ships with one of our gloss black APEX center caps.
