Didn't have much time to take a quality photo, but here's a shot of my TE37 SLs on the new 2017 BRZ. Tires are 265/35/18 Advan AD08Rs. I'll post more pictures soon after its been corner balanced and has had a proper alignment.

Hey guys, so I have 18x9.5 +38 wheels with stock suspension. I know that setup will be close to the spring perch. But my question is what is the widest tire I can run if all 4 tires are the same size. 245/35, 255/35, or 265/35? Those seem to be the most common sizes.

Thanks for the recommendation Lust. Have another question for you, would a 245/40 tire fit? Because I don't plan on getting coilovers at anytime unfortunately and I don't want a ton of wheel gap with a low profile tire. Your car is beautiful btw.

Any reason you wouldn't want coilovers? 245/40 should fit but on stock suspension will look like a monster truck

I have coilovers on mine but these wheels are going on my gf's brz and she thinks the stock suspension is already low and stiff enough. And she tends to bottom out as it is lol. So I was just thinking that maybe with a little bit taller sidewall it would fill up some of the wheel gap and provide a slightly smoother ride.

honestly just pull the emblem off and leave it like that. its just 2 small holes which make like no difference. If you want to get it smooth then yeah, bodyshops gonna have to fiberglass from behind, or (easiest way also super strong) is the make a small and sharp edged pointy patch and heat it red hot and melt it where the hold is from behind

So far I like the tires, they have a lot of grip for a UHP tire. I have not used them outside of daily driving. As far as the sidewalls stiffness... well the sidewalls are soft compared to the 200 TW tires I use for track... but that's to be expected.
