Well, I purchased them and should be getting the GTF1's soon so I'll let you know.

I asked a forum member on this thread and he mentioned using them. Maybe they can chime in...

Thanks, I'm about to pull the trigger as well. What size and tires are you going to be using?

Thanks! The AP Sprint Kit was the next purchase on the list, so I'm glad it fits

Has anyone run the 17x9 +35 with 255's on stock suspension? Any fit issues?

Planning to upgrade at some point but not quite yet.

Well, I'm going for it. I'll post pics of the setup on stock suspension once it arrives.

17x9 +35 GTF1 wheel, 255 tire width.

Cool! Any chance you could post some pics showing the whole car from the side, i.e. from a bit further away? I've got a SWP BRZ as well and these are the rims I have been thinking about.

Thanks!
