Winter tire/wheel and pads fitment for new BR/86 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Dealer is delivering my car with 205/55/R16's winter tires on it (Michelin X-Ice's) as it's probably gonna be winter when the car arrives at the dealer.

At first I was just gonna fit the OEM wheels with an 18inch winter tire but didn't really want to have 225 width in the winter so ended up just downsizing (and save some money as well)

I have exact same set of tires from my current 86 which I hope will be plug and play on new BRZ.

Probably the easiest way to tell is to wait until the 2022 BRZ is listed on https://parts.subaru.com/ and compare part numbers against a 2020-.

Looks like the pads for 2022 are a different part number. Do you remember where it said 2022 came with "upgraded brake pads"?

In the press release, or something like that.

Will stock 03 WRX wheels(16's,17's and spare) fit a 22/23 BRZ? WRX totaled as of 4th of July on a twisty Nor-Cal mountain road.(Not my fault) It would suck to have to buy them all over again.
