My BRZ ST* Autocross build

[kanundrum]

-Budget (not really sure but Trying to stay relatively cheap under $200 per tire)
-Class your running (No classes where I run, its all spec based)
-race only??? (Id prefer to drive home with them if possible)
-Daily drivers???? (Nope car is a autox/weekend fun car only)
-your wanting to run these all the time??


I would prefer to have a set I do not have to change. The car will not see a lot of miles just to and from the track really.

Car is not a daily driver and will not be driven a lot mainly on weekends In the winter I will put the stockers back on.

Would also like to do a few track days

Lets say i was buying everything from tirerack or discount tire direct. What sizes rim and tires would you recommend as well ?

I'd say you'd want to grab Dunlop Star Specs if that's the amount you will drive. Some will probably jump in and say RS-3s, but they will burn up quick at track days.

DO you recommend staggered setup or same wheels all around?

[Scooby South]

Staggered puts a push in the car...that can't be easily dialed out...

Great so the same wheels and tire sizes all around?

255's for the whole car or 245's ?

[Scooby South]

Class numbers are done..

I would probably put 255's on for your purposes.as long as they fit.... ..more rubber...more traction..

Super Thanks for all the advice!

I see that you got magnets for STX. Forgive me if I missed it in this thread, but does that mean the FR-S/BRZ was indeed placed in STX and not STR?

At any rate, love reading about this build, as I plan to be in the same class here, although not modded nearly as much. I would rather run stock class, but I don't want to run R-comps.

You could always run in the RTR class. It is a new class for this year. It uses all of the stock class rules except for tires are limited to 140 treadwear or higher street tires, no R-comps allowed. That's where I'm planning to autocross mine, at least to start with.

I don't think our local chapter has that class yet. We're kind of small compared to the mainland groups, so it could be due to lack of interest.
