Earlier in this thread the OP said the 18x8.5" OEM Launch edition wheels from the VA-gen STI do not fit a BRZ. The photos attached show how I got mine to fit. I have a set of these wheels I took off of a launch Ed. STI in 2015 when it was new, and managed to mount them to a tS I bought in 2019.
The trick is to get a set of 20mm or 15mm 5x114.3 adapters. Both fit, the 20mm poke a tad which I didn't like so I went with 15mm ones and shaved about 1mm of material from the inside of the wheel so the bolts don't make contact with the raised lettering.
I do love the "coulda been OEM" look of the results. I'm eyeing a set of 17" TWS forged wheels so if anyone following this thread is interested in these wheels and the adapters, DM me.
