16" rims?

I found a movie on youtube.
Are these 16" rims?
I like these more than the 17"

I don't think a 16 or 17 foot rim will fit

fwiw: looks like the factory 17" wheel

Oops typo...
The red one in the start of the movie looks like to have the standard 16" wheels.
Also the grey one at the end.

You can see that some of them are the lower spec versions from the standard HVAC.

It looks just like the FR-S's HVAC.

Sure looks like some of those are 16 inchers. WRX 4pots squeeze under a few sets of 16s.

Yes 16". They look good enough, but I am not sure I would use 16" for tracking.

^^ The wheels pictured above are 17x7 +48 wheels. The tires are 215/45-17.

The 86 has alternate (I won't say "optional" yet) 16x6.5 +48 wheels with 205/55-16 tires.

They will most likely stagger tires not wheels

What's the reasoning behind the staggered tires only?

Cost

They can make 4 wheels the same size (ie: 18X8 " wheel) toss on staggered tires

BMW does this with the I cars not so much the XI cars

Except that they are 11.6" front and 11.4" rear..
