Tirerack i think has only 1 tire available in a 235/35x18 size. Rare sizes will be expensive, too. Plan on going 245/35x18. Just took delivery of these wheels today and that's what I am going with...

Why not use a 225 35 18 tire ? or 225 40 18 ?

BTW, as if this needs to be said again . .. those rims are absolutely gorgeous.

Only 245/35 has a decent amount of performance tires available, 235 doesn't provide many options.

OP, did you have to add any negative camber for them to fit and not rub or do you know what your alignment specs are? Thanks

No fitment issues. You can see why by using this offset calculator:

Many will likely say the FR-S/BRZ needs more power and while more wouldn’t hurt, those folks (the same ones who have probably never driven on a track) are missing the point.
