Check out the thread linked below. It's got everything you need with wheel offset, diameter, width, tire size, and whatever else.

Also, mess around with this site. You can change the numbers and get a rough visualization of what it'll look like.

Just went through process of wheels and tires for 2015 brz. Told would be a decision based on personal preferences, objectives and budget. Found numerous factors to be considered so will provide a short list to help you get started.

Stock wheels and tires are 17x7, 215/45/70 with +48 offset. Don't forget to consider bolt size and pattern (5x100) of wheel, tire pressure monitoring device ("TPMS") needs, wheel and tire weight, temperatures and conditions you will be driving in.

In a nutshell for me, I found that the optimal for warmer climate, that fit stock height and fenders (w/o modifications for coilover springs or camber), deliver high quality and reliability (at least thus far) at a reasonable price were: Enkei RPF1s, 17x9 (approx 16 lbs), 5x100, +35 offset wheels (+38 offset will rub) with Pontanza RE-11A 245/40/17.

Even with extensive research have made one rookie mistake to watch out for - Acquired new TPMS devices directly from Suburu and did not remember to have the installer pull the TPMS ID codes off the stock wheels before removed, and to record the TPMS codes for the new devices before the tires were mounted on the new wheels. Installer was unable to program and appear Suburu dealer will need to.

17x9 +35 fits like a glove on the BRZ, and the 245/40/17 have minimal impact on speed reading compared to stock, and provide wide stance with a little poke. Hope this helps you get started.

I do have coilovers (Öhlins) and they really only lower about 1-1.5in and have 17x9 +35 Weddssport TC105-N wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A 245/40R17. They fit perfectly like DonBRZ mentioned.

The wheels are 15.4 lbs each and the tires weigh 26 lbs each

Really like the weds TC105-N. Looked at TC105-N, but was seeking blue or gunmetal. Was not able to locate. TPMS still gray area for me. Did you need dealer to enter into computer or find way to disconnect warning light?

There's a ton of info on this, the hard part is just filtering through it. I spent an hour or two every day for several weeks before I was absolutely sure of what I wanted. I'm on stock suspension (probably going to drop it an inch soon though) and I found 17x8 +45 for the front and 17x9 +45 was perfect for what I wanted. I will be making a thread to add to all the info when I get better pictures of the car but here's a couple crappy phone pics.

At the time I worked at tires plus but I previously broke a tpms and still haven't replaced the sensor. But I know how to reset the system given the right tools.

Thanks, I really like the Weds myself and the Öhlins are really good as well

@Donbrz also the Weds do come in like a darker silver, I think they call it gunmetal
