It pains me to ask this, but are the 18x10 +35 wheels listed in the initial post a typo or was that specific offset discontinued? I see 18x10 +40 listed all over so I am wondering if the 5mm spacer listed in your original post is where the +35 came from.

The XXR wheels on Blub are +40 but it looks like they have been discontinued. We're not a dealer, got them off ebay.

I've just tracked my 2022 BRZ Limited for the first time. Love the car. I'm an ex-SCCA racer...
Fabricated my own Alumalite splitter before I ever saw yours. Going to lower the wing after what you brought up in a video. I bought it used and just stuck it on. The tall wing mounts are how I bought it!
My journal.
I'm wondering if you are happy with the Wilwood brakes? I want to ditch the sliders on my car!

The Wilwoods have been great.

Emilio - just wanted to say how much I appreciate this thread. Took a few years off from tracktime (had 6 miatas before, thus knowing about 949) and after a weekend at ORP in my DD BRZ I'm re-hooked.

Thanks for the no-BS /// Feelings != data attitude across the last 30 pages.

Only thing I regret is having bought 17x8 6ULs thinking 'oh, 8s will be fine, I'm only gonna track it on occasion' LOL

Welcome back to the track life, Blaise! Jealous you get to go to ORP, miss that track, so much fun.

We still have a couple sets of 86 Xidas available

What do you think about rims ET? It seems that ET30 on the front is a good choice, even the 14R60/Griffon used the same ET.
What about thee back?

Ideal offset depends on camber, tire size and wheel width. For this build from a few years ago, +35. Your car might be different. I'd start a new thread so more people will see if. This one is three years old
