XXR 527 on GT86 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

+25 in the rear will stick out and the +35 will a bit as well depending on the tire. I have 17x8 +38 with 255/40 on my car now (SSRs) and I can show you a pic. I'm actually switching to XXR527 17x8.25 +35 Thursday and can show you pics of the fitment of that though my car is lowered about an inch.

Michelin specs the OE Primacy HP 215/45/17 can be safely used with an 8" rim. In spite of this almost every other tire model from every other brand i've seen in this size can be used with a 8.5" rim according to spec. I wouldn't worry about going 8.25". .25" over spec is not even considered a stretch in the stretch community. Save your cash.

Thanks hopefully will have the OEM michellins installed on the XXR tomorrow or next week. Just need new wheel nuts, the stock nuts did fit but it's to tight so i cannot get any tools on the nut

Stock lug nuts usually have a rounded seat and should not be used with aftermarket rims. you'll need a flat seat in order to install your wheels safely.

They just finished mounting mine, I leave here in about 10 minutes to pick it up. I'll try to snap a quick pic in my office parking lot before I get back.

Sweet, what size on the tire are you using?

ABQautoxer · 10-25-2012, 04:20 PM

255/40/17 Star Specs which are wide for a 255.
