I Got my BC Racing coilovers on Friday and threw them on with the new Cosmis Racing USA MRII's. Extremely happy with the fitment. Offset is perfect, no spacers needed! I am running 18x8.5 +22 all around, and 215/40 tires as well.

I currently only have Iphone pictures but I just did a shoot with Lowered Lifestyle so I will have quality photo's once they post the feature!

Are the backs of the wheels spacer friendly? Or is the surface that comes in contact w/ the hub flat w/ no holes?

I'm assuming you are asking for bolt on spacers?

They are recessed, but not enough to clear the studs. The holes are only 1-2mm deep. I assume it's due to the wheel size/offset. The wider sets have alot deeper holes.

If you plan on running these on a stock body FRS/BRZ you wont need spacers. I am running -2 front and -3 rear degree's of camber to fit with no rubbing.

Curious, how much of a drop would you say you currently have? Would you say its less then 2in?

Merged @Kris_IIR's topic: same wheels w same specs

To answer this question. The back of the wheel is flat and will not accommodate a bolt on spacer that is less than 25mm.

Bump for question:

I am sooo close to purchasing these wheels, and have just done a ton of research on wheel offset, etc. I was concerned that the +22 offset would be too far outboard, thus potentially harmful to the wheel bearings and steering system. Furthermore, research is suggesting that this will have a negative effect on handling.

Can someone tell me if there is any truth to these statements? Has anyone who installed these wheels experienced these problems?

FYI I will be running Apexi N1 coils, 1" drop, 18x8.5 +22 offset Cosmis MRII.

I ran them with tein S tech springs and the natural camber associated with a 1.5" drop on stock shocks. I had some poke in the front and was flush in the rears running a stretched 225/45 tire.

As far as wear on wheel bearings, I did not have the setup long enough to say for sure. In general, a wider track width can wear out wheel bearings much faster. Handling is dependent on tire and camber/caster. With the track width wider the car does not get as loose in the rear.

These wheels are really looks only and not a performance setup. If you want performance get a set of enkei rpf1 17x9 +35 and some sticky 245/255 tires.

Because of caster, the change in offset has an effect on what happens up front when you turn the steering wheel called "corner jacking". The reduced positive offset would increase the corner jacking effect and come with the related changes to handling, especially during turn-in. You also change the scrub radius which affect vehicle stability, especially under braking.

bumping this thread. anyone else running these wheels? how's the handling with the more aggressive offset?

any long term reviews?
