Oh its not gonna be a crazy stretch, but enough to notice. I think you should be alright with an 8.5" wheel. As mentioned most tire manufacturers have a rim width range the lowest being a 7" and the highest being 8.5" so you should be fine. But yea i understand if you have a lot of potholes its probably better to be on the safe side. You could get new tires and sell your stock tires, those are nice tires you might not have trouble selling them.

Would Michelin Pilot Sport 4 245/40-17 tires fit on the stock PP wheels?

2017+ BRZ PP wheels 17x7.5 +48

is this a serious question?

245 width tires are meant for rims 8.5" to 9.5" wide, so u can guess what the answer is

Spent hours upon hours, learning the differences between wider and narrower and staggered and offset etc etc etc tires and wheels.

I run a 2015 FR-S with stock tires and wheels and a Jackson Racing Supercharger. It's my daily driver, but I like to pull it and I definitely take it onto backroads for the closest thing to racing I can manage.

Based on all of that research, I finally determined that, well, I guess the stock tire size is pretty damn ideal for someone who wants to maintain the characteristic handling but wants to add more grip with better compound.

Based on that, I've settled on the PS4S as my next purchase.



Yes we are.

That being said however, I am having a hell of a time finding wheels.

My FR-S is Ultramarine blue. I want white rims. Fight me.

Someone, anyone, please save me from my endless googling and rabbit-holeing.

I'm looking for reasonably lightweight wheels, 5-spoke or otherwise, that are $250 each or less and will fit the 215/45ZR17 PS4Ss I'm aiming for.

Someone lend a hand?

If you want to use stock tire size .. nothing wrong with using stock wheels
But if you still in future will think that wider tires are needed .. i'd think of slightly wider wheels, for example x8. Maybe even of slightly less offset to space slightly wider, eg. +38?
Stock sized tires will fit on wider wheel aswell, but wider tires won't feel sloppy due being too wide for a wheel.

AP Sprint BBK: Minimum spacer width for 2020 base 86 wheels?

I recently had an AP Sprint brake kit installed. 10mm spacers were recommended for the stock wheels on my 2020 base Toyota 86, but the wheel spokes do not clear the brakes. It has -3 degrees of camber on the front. Is it a matter of a wider spacer, and if so, how wide?

Big brake kits generally do require lower offsets for clearance. So either you can run wheels with low offset or get a spacer. Just know that if you are going to be using a 10mm spacer you will need to run longer studs as well...

I had longer studs installed. Anyone have an idea what size spacer I might need to clear the spokes?

I believe the stock offset on your wheels is +48 adding a 10mm spacer would make it +38. I would think that is enough room to clear the brakes but cannot say definitely. Maybe someone else can confirm if 10mm would be enough.

10mm is not enough, as evidenced in my first post. It's making contact with the spokes with the 10mm spacers.
The question is what size spacers are needed to clear the stock 2020 base 86 wheels with the AP Sprint kit installed.

Hey yall, I am new to this so might be a stupid question but any help is appreciated. I just found a good deal for a specific set of wheels I want to know if a 18x9.5 +22 offset will fit (no rubbing etc) on my 2017 Toyota 86 all stock. I dont want to change anything in the near future. just wanted to upgrade the wheels and this option is for a lot cheaper than other I found so far. Also any recommendation on tires would be good. thanks

Those are pretty aggressive wheels for stock suspension. Its definitely going to rub the fenders so you'll have to roll fenders and possibly add camber for it to fit properly. Also its going to poke out a lot on stock suspension and its going to look really bad if you're not lowered. Honestly you dont need wheels that wide stick to a wheel that is 17x8 with 225/45/17 tires if you plan to keep your car stock and just using it for daily driving.
