Will this fit? (width, offset and tire size Qs)

[Waffle86]

Looking for a square setup with natural camber and preferably no fender work...I am torn...

Will 17x9 +35 245/40/17 or 18x9.5 +38 245/40/18 fit with OEM damper with Eibach Sportlines or am I in for coils as well?

I am not a fan of the stretched tire look most people get in the front and am trying to gauge if I am better off dropping down to 17s for a meatier look or if I could get away with a taller sidewall on 18s as I know it is tough to go wider than 245 in the front even with coils. Yes, I am aware 245/40/18 would throw off my speedo...

Hey guys! I'm in the market for some 17x9 +27 wheels with a 5x114.3 lug pattern. I plan on pairing them with +15mm conversion spacers. Is this the right size spacers to use to achieve a flush look?


About my car:
Stock body BRZ
Fortune Auto coil
17x9 +35 RPF1s right now so i have some idea of setting up wheels..lol

not even close. Also, just get the proper bolt pattern to begin with. I'm guessing you are getting wheels for free/cheap, which is why you're trying to make this work? Pass them up.

The 17s will fit.

I feel like I've searched this entire thread but still would like confirmation on my understanding before I can commit to a direction on wheels & suspension...

Assuming a square setup:

1) 18x9.5 +38 on 245/40/18 w/ eibach sportlines will fit w/out rubbing. No room for camber adjustment due to stock perch. No camber bolts needed to remove natural camber from lowering. Coilovers required to fix poke.

2) 18x8.5 +35 on 235/40/18 w/ eibach sportlines will fit w/out rubbing. Camber bolts optional.

3) 17x9 +42 on 245/40/17 w/ eibach sportlines will fit w/out rubbing. Very little room for camber adjustment due to stock perch.

4) 17x9 +35 on 245/40/17 w/ eibach sportlines will fit w/out rubbing. Camber bolts required to fix poke.

5) Coilovers magically make everything listed above fit.

Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this - I've read a lot of conflicting information across multiple threads to get to this point

Would nt03 18x9.5 +40 fit on a 2017 brz with factory brembo brakes?

No

[ryann.mendoza]

Ok. Thank you for the info.

What wheels and size would fit with factory brembo brakes?
I apologize in advance as I'm new to the brz/86 world coming from a 2013 wrx hatchback

Need some advice on running TE37SL 18x9.5 +40 on what tire size I should go with. I am picking up some KW V3's coils as well.

I was set on MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORT 255/35ZR18 but am wondering if I would be better off with 245's instead? I don't want to roll my fenders at this point but want to avoid rubbing.

Any advice would be great! Thanks

I have RPF1s at 17x7 with, I believe, 38 offset. I'd like to get some spacers to make them more flush. Any recommendations? Thanks.

you're going to poke outwards almost an inch further than your current 9in +35 setup... agree w/ @continuecrushing -- pass on these...

I'm passing on those. I'll admit I was way off. Discovered the frsproject tire calculator and have decided that ordering a set to my exact specs is the better option. It's a lot of money but I know I could resell them to another 86 or subie guy in my area.

I'm picturing Work VS-KF in 5x100 18x9.5 +30 on a 245/40/18

Locating a 5x100 set is proving to be extremely challenging. 18s in 5x100 that I've found are all shit and would need to be rebuilt anyways. Instead I'm going with Devilswerk wheels. They gave me the best quote with shipping.

What offset could I run to maximize the lips of the wheel? +27,+30, or +35?

What size tire is best for a lower profile look with minimal stretch on a 9.5 wheel? 245/40 or 235/40?

**Edit: Or would a 18x8 an aggressive offset like +15 be a better route? That would allow me to fun skinnier tires and enjoy stock power levels


I've seen plenty of threads with people running other 18x9.5 +38 or +45 wheels but not many VS-KFs on stock body 86s. Won't consider 225s on a 9.5 either. Too risky

About my car:
WRB BRZ
Fortune Auto v5s
Camber Bolts

This will allow me to tilt in the fronts. I'm expecting no more than -3.5 camber max to get this to all work. I'll order rear LCAs if I'm not happy without how the rear sit.

Prepared to receive some hate for the hotboy wheels/instagram build :/

Would 18x9.5 +45 in the rear and 18x8.5 +45 in the front cause any rubbing issues?

Is your vehicle lowered. If so, how much. Any added camber? Your tire size is also important to determine clearance.
