I only have one picture right now, will add some more soon.

I went with 225/40R18 all around since it is not rubbing at all (idk why people kept saying it will rub on another thread)

My car is running H&R lowering spring btw

Oh rear wheels need a spacer tho since it is flush in a bit.... maybe 20mm I would say

I don't know why either.I have 8.5 +35 and nowhere near rubbing..

I told a guy who work on my car to try fitting 225 in the front and it works, so I have to unmounted those 215 and changed to 225 all around.

Thanks

Then it makes driving BRZ fun without pain.

If it were as easy as working out, I'd be all over it. My knee/back problems are genetic though, and driving manual for the last 5ish years (BRZ and last car both manual) has just finally taken its toll. Thought it wouldn't be as much of an issue as it has become, but it's at the point where I just need to change what I'm driving.

It's really sad that , a human body is wearing out before the BRZ.
When i sit in BRZ i feel much younger.

Added an STI badge on my front bumper and STI license plate frames to both the front and back. That's about it. I kinda wish that the Series.Blue's has some kind of its own badging to stand it out from the rest, but these will do.

I'm also thinking about buying some Michelin Pilot Sport A/3's (Ultra Performance All-Season tires) on my 17" Rims. Does anyone recommend these?

B-R-Z · 08-29-2014, 11:32 AM

@x1UP Idk about badging the car as an STi but I see many doing it. That's kinda like putting Type-R badges on a Civic EX.

As for tires, Pilot Super Sports are a good option, I love them. They are the benchmark in many online comparisons.

Yeah, i've seen them being recommended over anything else. Do you have any pics of the tires?

Thinking about getting 225's (I have 215's stock Primacys for now) on all four rims.

Khazzy · 08-29-2014, 11:37 AM

Getting a new windshield finally after last years rock incident. Crack started spreading so got with USAA and giving them my 50 dollars haha.

I went with 215 Pilot Super Sports. Wish I would have done the 225s though.

Mine are dirty at the moment, but I'll see if I can get some pictures up for you sometime today unless somebody beats me to it.
