May I ask if there are any drawback to using these new slightly offset brackets/disc hats on the new GR86 even though it does not "need" this offset? And I guess by extension, any drawbacks to putting them to the gen 1 brz/gt86/ft86?
I think the front track width will increased by 1-2mm, like placing a very thin wheel spacer. The scrub radius will be changes slightly due to this but I think the change of the feeling will be negligible.

I plan to get a GR86 but I am not anticipating to get the aluminum BRZ knuckles. The weight saving is very small compared to the weight saving from BBK and aftermarket wheels.
