Great. I'll be tracking my and I don't need to follow any rules but if 215 size RS3 is an inch wider than stock maybe I can get these and don't need to go up size.

If you're not going to run race rubber I'd say the 215 is a good size for the 7" rims. I'll post some pics tomorrow for the comparison.

Thanks a lot for the information. I haven't heard of this brand or that website, so this was a good find for me.

What do you think of these on a GBS BRZ?

http://rimsntires.com/wheel.jsp?bran...odel=MR121%20G

I can't tell if these would show up with a jenky gray paint job or if they would look something like gunmetal......I like the pattern though.

I think TireRack has those rims if you want to see them with their "view on car"

Will 235x40x17 work on the 17x7?

Maybe, but not even remotely well. With that much pinch, they'd roll and flex all over the place.

If you want 235's I would go with 17x7.5. Then you can even go to 245's if you like.

I checked and either Tire Rack sold out if the 17x7 or they're just delayed because the date is now in December for arrival. Oh well

I have a set arriving next Monday. I will get some pics taken, hopefully sometime next week.

I ordered with a set of BFGoodrich g-Force Rivals 225/45/17.
