17's and square.. I'm a fan! Btw, what did the 17's weight?

Do you have a lot of inner clearance with your setup? I am looking to get these wheels and tires too, but I have Koni/Eibach setup instead of coilovers.

Thanks

Didn't have a scale to weigh them before getting them mounted.., but according to my calculation, they should be in between 16.5 to 17 lbs.

Enough for me to run -3.0 camber in the front and -2.5 in the rear. I'm also not too much dropped so I'd say if you're not too dropped, you shouldn't have a problem with it. 255/40 that I'm running is slightly taller than the OEM tires on OEM wheels as well. I would recommend running 245/40s. This is too much tires IMO... robbing too much power. lol

Thanks for the insight. And your car is sick btw.

love those meaty sidewalls!

B L U E S L A T E · 06-21-2013, 03:28 PM

@WillBRZ yes! I've known about you for quite some time now as well. Hotdawwgman is my roommate so he told me about your new ride.

Nice wheels bro!

This and the gentleman with the red FRS with grey TE37's have completely changed my mind about TE-37's on this car. They look FANTASTIC!

Really shocked and glad to see that 17" doesn't look tiny on the BRZ given that the wheel doesn't even have the illusion of being bigger like the stock wheels do.

mikemcberty · 06-21-2013, 09:23 PM

love the red on the whiteout!

You need all three measurements not just wheel diameter and aspect ratio.

245/40/17 is exactly the same diameter as stock, 225/45/17 is a slightly taller, etc.

The 40, 45, etc is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width, so a wider tire with the same aspect ratio will have more sidewall.
