If I'm not mistaken, it's the same rims as mine. It comes with the car in Australia if you get the BRZ S model.

They are Sti Enkei rims 15 spoke 17x7.5+48.

Sorry, to clarify I want to know the suspension setup he has, like spacers, amount of drop, etc.

Well I'd assume he's running coilovers over the amount of drop. It looks good but hit a few pot holes/enter a few drive ways and or attempt to go over a speed bump... Let me know how the outcome is.

I like low but that is beyond daily functionality low.

Teseo · 09-14-2016, 08:27 AM

Wheels can be Enkei rs05rr, maybe xxr 550?

EddieBRZ · 09-14-2016, 08:31 AM

He's not after the rims, just the set up.

I don't think it's running spacers because it clears by a fair bit. Most likely a drop of like 8-9cm. Stock height is roughly 13cm. Plus he has the sti side skirts.

shiumai · 09-14-2016, 08:38 AM

He's running into trouble going over bumps, dips, driveways etc. unless he's on an airbag setup and that photo was just taken when parked. i really hope that he doesn't drive around like that.

MarkR171 · 09-14-2016, 09:31 AM

Probably airbags, because if that's a static suspension, he isn't "running" anywhere.

kch · 09-14-2016, 12:35 PM

Definitely airbags. Can't tell if he has spacers, but if he does, they're no more than 15mm.

As much as the tire/wheel is tucking into the quarter panel, I doubt there is any spacer. I don't think I see open ended lug nuts on extended studs either, so if he has a spacer, he's going to be "running" into more problems very soon.

There are two types of spacers, one of which does not require you to have open ended lug nuts on extended stufs, dont jump to conclusions.

Anything more than a 3mm spacer is unsafe on the stock studs because you won't have enough stud thread on the outside of the wheel for the lugnuts to sit on.

The "two types of spacers" I think you're referring to are hub-centric and non hub-centric which has to do with proper centering rather than whether or not you need extended studs or not.

Edit: Actually, you may also be talking about the spacers with stud extensions already on them. Those are generally much thicker, and definitely wouldn't fit on the above setup. Like this:
