Is there a 16 inch wheel that will work for a 2018 BRZ with the performance package Brembo brakes?

I'm guessing, that your goal is weight reduction so far? Imho usually very good brake clearance are for several rally wheels (eg. some 15" fit over our OE brakes) .. but they weight a lot, so i'm guessing that not exactly best choice weight wise. Better just bite the bullet and stay 17". Much wider wheels that clear PP choice.

No 16's clear as far as this forum or Tirerack have documented.
If you want lowest weight, stick to 17". There are some out there that go down to 15-17LB per wheel. If you want taller sidewall or lip protection, go with a 225/45R17 tire on a 7.5" or 7" wide rim. Motegi has a few 17x7.0" rims that will clear Brembos. If you're thinking of tire cost, then you're stuck with 17". Fortunately 215/45R17 and 225/45R17 sizes are common enough that they are fairly affordable depending on the tire. |

Have you seen this thread? https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135328
Judging by how close the barrels of most 17" wheels are to the caliper, I doubt any 16" wheel will ever fit. |
