Are you going to open up the line of your other wheels to the brz?! I’d be in heaven you have some sweet looking wheels on other platforms!

CALLING ALL BRZ PERFORMANCE PACKAGE OWNERS IN THE BOSTON, MA AREA
In an effort to expand our wheel offering, we are actively looking for a BRZ Performance Package model with the stock Brembo brakes and Sachs struts still in place to conduct 3D scanning. If you or a fellow enthusiast you know is available, please contact us by PM, email or phone. Scanning can be done at your convenience, Monday - Sunday, and can also be done at your location. I know many of you have stored the car for the winter, so we want to make this as convenient as possible for the owner. This is a vital step to ensure our new flow formed and fully forged fitments and designs for this community are optimized for this chassis, and we greatly appreciate the support from the community in bringing this to market.

In my case, camber plates were necessary to get any negative camber up front on RCE yellow springs. |

8" and 8.5" wide wheels are slim enough where inner and outer clearances are a non-issue as long as the wheel manufacturer chooses the appropriate offset. We do 3D scanning and on-car testing with various track/race compounds to ensure we offer the most optimum offset. When it comes to 9" (and wider) wide wheels, the "perfect" offset really comes down to how your car is setup - suspension type, how you plan to dial in negative camber (bolts vs. plates), how much negative camber you would like to run, tire size and tire brand since not all are created equal. This means that enthusiast "A" with a more compliant suspension (aftermarket coilovers or non-Sachs struts) may appreciate a higher offset like 9" ET42 where no/less negative camber is required to clear the outer fenders, while enthusiast "B" with Sachs struts may appreciate a lower offset like 9" ET35 so they dont have to run spacers on the fornt. The same can be said about enthusiast "C" using camber plates to dial in negative camber, vs. enthusiast "D" who will use camber bolts (which compromises inner strut clearance). For these reasons, we will have multiple 9" fitments (offsets) to satisfy the needs of all enthusiasts. - Ryan

Well, now I am getting slightly concerned. I just got in on that group buy for the 17x9 et42 on the understanding that they fit PP with Sachs. Don't they? Or is it just a camber bolts vs plates issue? I planned on plates but don't have them yet. Although I expect they will be in by the time the group buy wheels are delivered...

@APEX Race Parts: if you do that 3d scanning to ensure your wheel clearance .. may i ask for two things that imho twins owners community may greatly benefit from?
- can you also scan non-PP stock brakes? - can you release brake clearance fitment templates for both stock PP and for generic stock brakes? Most aftermarket brake vendors provide downloadable brake templates for their BBKs .. unfortunatly no such for stock brakes though even they are more numerous and their owners also would benefit from easier/quicker wheel check way (eg. with stock brakes if one wishes to check some R15 for winter use clearance). |

@APEX Race Parts This is awesome. What sizes and wheel models are you testing for? I’ve always loved the rest of your lineup. When can we expect them to be released?

Me too. Really eyeing the FL-5 or maybe the EC-7s. Got new tires on stockers last month so I’m good for a bit while they design the new ones. Excited

I wonder if you should also scan the same setup but with camber bolts giving something around -1.5...-2° in the front, as this seems to be a popular mod among drivers who want negative camber in the front but not ready to spend significant money on coilovers.

One more data point: on stock suspension height your car will look like a monster truck on these wheels. You'll most likely want to lower the car, at which point might as well get some reasonably priced coilovers. At least this is what I ended up doing, although I picked wheels from a different manufacturer.
