Didn't make sense when the 350z had a similarly barely staggered setup (rears only 10mm wider), makes even less sense here with more forward weight distribution and less power. Why not 225s all around on the same wheels? 215/225 on 7/7.5 is pointless and a bit odd...

Probably very strong and light. At that width, you may want to consider going a different route.

350Z were 225/45/18 and 245/40/18 (I owned one).


It was also much heavier and more powerful than the BRZ. Staggered setups from the factory are typically to help induce understeer to help with inexperienced drivers, or deal rear weight bias/lots of HP.
