Just got the same set loaded up on my car as well - I'll share for those that want to see what they look like on a different color: (Edit: Same rims, different tire size: 245/35/18)

Wheel looks good.
stock suspension?

I like your tire choice! I'm running the same but 235's

Stock suspension on mine still.... I have noticed the BRZ wants to push a lot more with this wheel/tire combo on the stock suspension - the backend doesn't want to step out anymore like it used to. Hoping to do a little research to figure out a good spring setup to help remedy that.

RCE Yellows and RCE Sways set softer in front and stiffer in the rear will make the car handle wonderfully. That's what I have now and I love the razor sharp turn in and the progressive oversteer, as well as zero body roll!

$599 shipped for the Spring + Sway package is still going on: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29453

You just kept the stock strut? I was looking at that setup and wondering if I would be better off building off the koni strut to have something that was more replaceable as a unit, just so I could replace wholesale without having to disassemble the suspension off the car. Thanks for the input!

Yup OEM struts. By the time I have the need for adjustable struts I won't have any desire to disassemble and cut my stock struts open to insert Konis. I'll likely just get some coilovers and then sell my stock struts with the Yellows on them, assuming they are still good.

Looks good. I have the same wheels, but in 17" size. One thing I did and would suggest: switch the lugnuts from chrome to black. I think it looks better against the gunmetal wheels.

You can barely see them in this picture, but you get the idea:

Went on a run with my local SATX 86 crew. Figured I'd take a few shots of my TSW Nurburgrings. 18X8 +35 square on Nitto NT555s at 225. Stock suspension for now. I might throw on some FEAL coils next month and update. Needs a little more low.
