Given this I would say that runflats may indeed be a good option for you.

But I would recommend staying with either the stock wheels or some other 17" wheel. The combination of less sidewall by going wtih 18's and stiffer sidewalls from the runflats will likely not be a good combination for your rims or the ride. Especially on a car (BRZ/86) that was not designed to be used with runflats
