RPF1 17X9 +35 with PP Brembo - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

installed yesterday with 8mm spacers in front and drove back from LA to SB. I inspected two front wheels and there is no sign of any touching or rubbing between calipers and wheels. I don’t know how large should be considered ok for the gap but to me it is not too close and I think this gap should be safe on track. 8mm spacer is the minimum you need to use in front. If you use 10mm spacer the clearance will be more than enough. Here are pictures I took after few hundred miles on them. 35 offset does make them poke out more than I thought.

Looks good. You spaced out the rears too?

No I didn’t. Using spacer in rear will cause the tire hitting fender when suspension is fully compressed.

I'm thinking of doing the same to my BRZ once I have enough cash. Did you need to cut the lugs at all to make the spacers fit? And which spacers are those? Thanks.
