Why does Tire Rack have the recommended tires on the 18x8.5 as 225/40-18? Seems like everyone here is going 235, 245, and 255...

Against tire racks judgement, I highly recommend 235. You can reference my pictures up above, the fitment is absolutely perfect.

Has anyone already bought them in white color? I felt in love with this multispoke design but have already 10 silver/gunmetal rims and want some diversity

Thinking about buying a square set of 18x8.5s for competition use with 245/35 Hankook Z214 but not sure how white rims will match a black car.

Depends entirely on which BBK. An Essex Sprint (299mm disc) will clear wheels an STI swap (326mm disc) wouldn't, and both will clear wheels a Brembo GT (355mm disc) wouldn't. The BBK manufacturer will have a template of their kit to verify wheel clearance. Send that to the retailer that you're looking to buy the wheels from to see if they fit.

Enkei 5S05RR 18x8.5 +42 Brembo Brakes?

Anyone know if this will clear the OEM brembo brakes on the 2017 BRZ?


Brembo Brakes Performance package 2017 BRZ

edit: confirmed, they do not fit with the brembos. If anyone knows what spacers would be required, that'd help.
