Any rubbing issues while driving?

None, first thing I did on the test fit was do some circles with the steering turned to full lock each way.

I can do that sometime this week perhaps. It's not close enough to be alarming tho. Not close at all.

11 lb wheels for autocross here I come!
On second thought, maybe I'll let someone else do it first and see how it goes

If the offset is ok, +38 works for a 15x6
You'll have an awfully large sidewall then. Not to mention a smaller contact patch, not sure if I'd want that for auto-x.

Finally ordered some winter tires for these wheels and the lug adapters. Should have them on here in a week or so!

Any updates? I have the opportunity to pick up 4 VW steel wheels with brand new 205/60/16 Winterforce tires for short money. I really don't want to pass it up.

I really don't want to run incorrect lugs. Couldn't I just use VW lugs as an alternative? I guess I am not understanding properly, but would like to figure this out asap.

Thanks guys

I posted saying I did this and bought the adaptors linked elsewhere in this thread, worked fine.

Sweet I've been looking for a set of 15" wheels so I can get some gravel rally tires and run rallycross. Does anyone know if all rims of this size will work. I've seen 15" Volks (stupid expensive) and I've heard others that will not fit

zohare · 07-02-2013, 03:31 AM

I was curious if the forged 5 TT 18s would fit. Probably 5x120 if I had to guess, but they're a really eccentric wheel, so kinda want to see them on the car

Ash_frs · 07-20-2013, 07:29 PM

I have a set of these at home! what size tire are you running on these to match the stock 17'' wheel radius?

PeterB · 07-21-2013, 06:08 PM

I don’t see any confirmation that 15” rims work for BRZ/FRS. Many people reported problems and 15" VW AVUS Wheels discussed here do not seem to be confirmed as good. My guess is that these are not safe (assuming they can even be put on). Let me know if you know more about it.

Read page 2 of this thread.
And you will see the pic too.

I ran them as my winter wheels for about 5 months. No clearance issues or need for spacers. Only thing needed were washers to go from conical to ball seat lugs.

Not to dredge up old topic, but whats the size on those tires? 225/45?

7thgear · 09-18-2013, 03:58 PM

da hell would you put 225 on a 6" rim

those are 205x60/65 by the look of it

Figo · 09-18-2013, 04:14 PM

Sorry I just cant understand this thread. I thought the twins' OEM rims r ugly enough until I saw these. BTW those tires make it looks like a rally car.
