Why are you going with such tall tires? Just looks?
Was looking at brake upgrades, but the numbers are ridiculous man.... i'm probably just going to get good pads, fluid, lines and master cylinder brace.

I am on the borderline of being a wheel whore. I love my JDM wheels and forged wheels. Here is a list of wheels I have owned on my cars:
Volk GT7
Volk TE37
Volk TE37
Forgeline GA3R (JDM wheels just don't seem right on a Z06)
WedsSport TC105N
Advan RGD
I like my wheels light, and generally I like them forged. I decided not to spend the extra money on forged wheels for the BRZ though. For the weight and money it is nearly impossible to beat the Enkei RPF-1s or the WedsSport TC105Ns.
I went with 265/35/18 tires because they don't make any 265/30/18 or 275/30/18 tires. The extra sidewall doesn't bother me though and a slightly taller final drive ratio is not a bad thing with a turbo. It actually corrects some of the speedometer inaccuracy as well.
Those brake upgrades sound fine to me. Just make sure you get a decent higher temp range aftermarket pad and some higher temp fluid and you are good to go to a track day.
