For those who want to know. I'm running 225/40-18 on the front and 265/35-18 on the rear. 265 is because I'm running a turbo. I chose Dunlop Direzza DZ101 tires for the balance in cost and traction and wear. I used them on my Lotus for daily driving use - lasted almost a year with spirited driving

Hows the 265 in the rear with the +40 offset in terms of room. I plan on doing 275 or maybe even 285, think ill be alright? i'll be running a 18x9.5 +40 rear aswell.

Nope! I've got them, and they come in 5x100 specifically for FRS/BRZ actually. I think a few guys on this forum have already done so too actually. Fitment is 18x8.5 ET35 and 18x9.5 ET40, nice and flush

Found pictures for you from this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18980







Looks great!

You'll be fine with 275. I have plenty of room, flush look - no rubbing. 265 looks very flush when looking from wheel to tire. I don't like it consuming the rim and I don't like the rim poking far out, I like FLUSH! See photos...
