No issues or rubbing at all with coilovers and 255/35/18 PSS.

We did the 18x9.5 +40 57Extreme's on another customer's BRZ on racecomp yellow springs and we needed 10mm spacers to clear the springs and struts. But with coilovers, no rubbing or issues and we'll likely drop the BRZ a bit more, that was just the initial height. Planning on corner balancing and adjusting soon

I'm a little late to the club, but heres my HyperBlue!
My name is Michael, I live in San Antonio, Texas, I will find the last 3 of my VIN as soon as it comes back from the shop (Unfortunately, I already got hit. 100% her fault though), and I bought this car as a daily driver, that can turn into a good time on the weekend too! Plenty of mods sitting in the garage waiting for her to come home lol! Every picture seems to capture this color completely different, but it certainly turns heads! Sorry if the pictures are pretty big, I'm surfing from my phone

Ouch, that is my worst fear, getting hit while the car is brand new. Hopefully you get her back on the road soon!

Welcome! Sorry to see the damage. I think San Antonio has a club, but up in Austin we have the Austin 86 Club, which you are more than welcome to join!

I've been trying to find people, but all the 86's I see here are old lady driven lol, but I go to Austin pretty often, does the club have an IG page?

My IG is nova.86 , it's not a dedicated car page but I don't mind followers which is why it's public.

I'm probably going to get the KW V3 coilovers first before anything else..I want to make sure I fit the 18 x 9.5 + 40 w/ PSS, I'd rather not try it w/ stock suspension if I'm going coilovers anyways eventually lol.

Probably the best bet. You don't need a second alignment after switching wheels.
