Yes, yes I am! They're on they're way in today. Got tracking numbers last week and they're out for delivery.

. As for suspension I have bc br coils, whiteline sway bars and endlinks, cusco bracing and will be getting cusco control arms. Tire for the 19's are going to be a Michelin pilot a/s plus 255/35/R19 in the front and a 275/35/R19 in the rear. Am thinking about getting a separate set of wheels+tires for track use.

Will be happy to finally see those ForgeStars on there.

Very nicely done man! I cant wait to see those wheels come off lol. Like you said its lookin good and really ugly at the same time lol

MightyMeeple · 03-26-2013, 01:31 PM

I am really enjoying your build thread!

If I had the means, and my BRZ wasn't my daily driver I would go for this build:

Gotta love the "Mexican Blue" and orange with that Rocket Bunny kit!

So I got the wheels in! They look amazing, only problem is the tire... I have to get a new tire. The rear works just fine but like Staycrushing said earlier I would probably have problems with rubbing. Which in the front, I do. Bad. It nearly wants to tear off the fiberglass. We're going to be taking the fender liners out because they're what everything is catching on.

But as for tire sizing, what would you guys go for for a front tire size on a 19 x 9.5J wheel? It only rubs when you turn the wheels.

I would recommend 255 or 265/30/19 for front

VesperLynn · 03-26-2013, 04:03 PM

I'm hopefully going to get a 255/30/R19 in sometime this week and we'll see how it fits. I'm hoping there won't be too much trimming to be had.

VesperLynn · 03-26-2013, 06:06 PM

Offsets are as follows:

3 front
-6 rear

I may be able to come up. No telling if I'll have the forgestars on though. I'm hoping I can get some Toyo's in relatively fast. I called forgestar and talked to them about their tire fitment and they said they used the T1 sport with a 255/30/R19 and it doesn't rub at all. It only rubbed on the side skirt before it was trimmed off. But seeing as I didn't even use the RB sideskirt I don't have to worry about that. Just hoping that the tires will fit and I won't have to trim anything.

As for coming up, I may be able to stop by for a little bit after I get my sway bars and stuff put in. It's my birthday on saturday but I'm doing the birthday shenanigans on Friday so I mat or may not have the time to do it unfortunately. Lets hope on MAY be able to.

Joeprelude · 03-26-2013, 06:22 PM

how is the -6 on the rear? flush, set in, poke (doubt)?

VesperLynn · 03-26-2013, 06:29 PM

It actually pokes out about a quarter to half inch on both the front and rear. It looks absolutely delightful though. I'm really bummed that I wasn't able to mount them today. Really itching to get those T1 Sports on and see if FS isn't lying.

The wheels are amazing though. They look incredible and even came with hubcentric rings. I am very pleased with the wheels. I'm only disappointed in how long it took to get here but I'm sure they were very busy down there plus the fact that they don't just stock these, they're all custom made. Amazing set of wheels though.

VesperLynn · 03-26-2013, 06:31 PM

I unfortunately did not get a picture of them on the car because my phone was dead right after I took that last picture. You guys are dying to see them on as much as I am. Went over to buy a charging cord because I lost mine and a FedEx guy came out to talk to me. Was telling me how "If you're going to get flares you've gotta get the wheels to fill them out!"

To which I replied, "Well, if everything worked out well today, you'd be looking at a badass car with sexy fitment as opposed to a badass car with total crap fitment." Explained to him the whole situation.
