Anybody got 16 inch wheels on their FR-S /BRZ? - Page 25 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

16's look good even when not lowered/slammed, IMO.

wheels should arrive today.
I need to get my brake template out and get my hub conversion done so I can test fit.

you fit a 326mm rotor in a 16" wheel?

It is 225/50/16 tires and Megan Racing track series coilovers (not slammed down).

More pics

How did the car handle on the corners with this setup? Did you feel a lot more body roll on initial entry as oppose to 17inch setup. Ive been thinking about a 16 inch setup for a while. Your input will be appreciated. Thanks!

Nissan's new GT-R LM is running 16's. More sidewall more contact patch....

I haven't tracked it on the 16" setup so really couldn't give a straight answer. It seems like the rear end is easier to kick out on the 16's though, coming from the 18's.

I am really liking these XXR 551 wheels in 16x8 I just gotta figure out the offsets up front and back. I'm liking the Chromium Black , not black, not grey. I think they will look good with a blue FR-S

Just picked up a set of barely used Motegi Traklites in 16x7 ET40 (12.5 lbs each), wrapped in Kumho Ecsta XS 225/50-16. Can't wait for April to get here!

Im really curious to see how much more roll will result because of the taller sidewall. The back end coming out easier could be both positive and negative depending on the intended purpose. Interesting.....

A comparison between 16inch and 17inch stock wheels and tires:

Circuit is Suzuka.

I posted a while back but didn't have a good pic. Currently lowered 1" with Enkei EDR9 as my winter setup.

Shit Luck · 03-14-2015, 01:45 PM

mine are getting coated and rebuilt right now.
I need to get some 11mm conversion spacers yet.
