Anybody got 16 inch wheels on their FR-S /BRZ? - Page 10 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Thanks !! I actually will be running the same size. I am waiting for my rims but I have already purchased 225/50/16 Continental Extreme Contact DW. Thanks again for posting, as these are hard to find...!

What drop are you on?

holy crap haha - it seems like 16's only work and look good on a minimum 2" drop. otherwise it looks awkward and imbalanced

For being dropped 4 inches it still doesn't seem THAT low..

They are around ~$600+ per wheel I believe. The Enkei Compes we have on our FR-S are a similar design, though not quite as nice as these. Additionally, a full set of Compes are about the same price as one Watanabe

Yeah I'm really leaning towards the Enkei Compe's... God I usually don't like smaller wheels but they're so damn sexy.. I'd probably go a little lower than your car though. How much lower are you and on what coil overs? I probably read it somewhere on this thread but.. Too lazy to go back and look.

Probably not spacers since they were custom made for him, though you never know! The 16x8" +25 are very flush on our FR-S even, so I could see the 16x8.5" +35 fitting similarly. His car is just much lower so the "flush" is much more apparent.

I love the look! I'm not sure of a specific lower amount we are, but it's on Megan Racing Track Series coilovers.
