Most people would say they are. They're roughly $800 per wheel.

Unless you're looking at replicas/knockoffs from companies like Rota, Varrstoen, Miro, etc

You are right, they are definitely not cheap however cheap and overpriced are two different things. I feel like wheels out of all mods are a good thing to get top quality of.

What I am saying has no relation to your conversation to the other guy regarding wheel fitment on widebody etc, I am just letting you know what it actually takes from a guy who has done such modifications.

extensive modification of EVERY suspension piece to get this extreme

- No. You can just purchase the Racer X rear UCA with the -14 option and you can get -14. direct swap with your OEM and max them out. -> http://racerxfabrication.com/frs-brz...r-control-arms . How do I know? Because I did this as well.

As for the fronts, I hit double digit negative camber up front with aftermarket camber plates, Racer X front LCA, and a camber bolt. Did not do any 'extensive modification' besides install new parts and adjust.

simply would not fit into the stock wheel well .. you'd rub on the inside/outside.. everywhere

For the fronts sure, this could be an issue with the clearance with your wheel to the strut. For the rear, you are only limited until you hit the frame as the coilover sits 'in between' both ends of the barrel nowhere close to the wheel where extreme camber would affect it. At -14 myself on a 10.5 +0, I'm nowhere near the frame/wall nor my coilover. No rubbing issues on the inside of the wheel well. The fender rubbing is a different story depending on what kind of fitment the person chooses to achieve.

I felt the need to address those two things.



When I had pbm rear lowers, my rears also made a small clunk noise. I never figured out what it was but I had never had issues and only ever heard it going over a bump or turning hard. My suspicions are that the endlink was binding on my pbm lca and made this clunking noise. Maybe a pair of aftermarket adjustable endlinks would solve this issue.

Now some updates on my car: wrapped the car myself and rocking a new set up and ditched the bags and I'm now static on BC coils 18kg/18kg

18x9.5 0 - 215/35 Federal SS595
18x10.5 0 - 225/35 Federal SS595

-10.5 front camber, -14 rear camber.
took my sidemarkers out as well, and now i can full lock without rubbing anything.

if you don't mind me asking what are the most common issues with your setup? what things have you/do you damage driving it like this? have you broken anything major? do you drive it often with this set up? what spring rates did you need to acquire this amount of low? thanks

Nope, the Works and the LMGT4 are 5x114. I changed out my hubs awhile ago.

@Thefear13 tire size? and what hubs did you use? That is a very nice fit.

The front are 225/40?/18 but I can probably go 235 up front. Right now I'm running a 20mm spacer so I wont rub at full lock(custom wide angle kit). The rear are 235/40?/18. I'm running 08+ STi rear hubs and the fronts are from a Japanese company that doesn't make them anymore.

So 9.5j +10 effective up front and you don't rub at lock even with the knuckles/tie rods?

No rubbing at all with the spacers but without the spacers, the widest I can run would be 225. I'm gonna try to run a 235 next. My front fenders are stock and haven't been rolled/shaved.
