Complete newbie regarding cars - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just picked up my Asphalt FR-S a few days ago and am looking to change the tires/wheels.

I'm set on the Enkei Raijin Hyper Silver 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 in the back with Hankook V12 evo K110 wheels (still haven't decided on the size, need help with that as well). I've been trying to copy the wheel/tire specs I've seen on some of the posts (I figured if some of you guys have them then they obviously fit on the car). The problem I've just run into is the offset.. it would be 35mm for both front and rear. How would that particular offset look on the car?

Some extra info:
- I'm planning on lowering the car (Haven't decided if to go with KW V1 or GC Street Kit Coilovers)
- It's my DD
- No track use whatsoever
- Going mainly for looks

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum Eg0. I am fairly new to the world of wheels but I will see what I can do to help from what I have read so far.

A 35mm offset would give you a fairly flush finish. The fronts will be more flush than the rears but that is just how this car is designed.

As for your tire size, I would try to get something to match the diameter of the stock tires. A 235/35 would be good for the 18x8.5 and a 245/30 would be good for the 18x9.5.

As for your other points, if this is just your DD and you are just going for looks, there is no need to drop a tonne of money on coils. Some lowering springs will do the job at a fraction of the cost.
