WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1317 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Oil changed, new battery, and finally got new tires mounted and put the wheels on. Now to get rid of my two sets of stock wheels that I promised to have out of the house last month...

Made some home brew bumper plugs. Not bad, certainly better than holes!

Long story, but since you ask:

So at one point, I drove over a screw and then drove home from the office on a slow leak. The next day, I realized the tire was trashed. So instead of buying a new OEM tire for $200 and paying a shop $25 to mount it, I picked up a complete set of lightly used stock wheels + tires for, IIRC, $400. I was driving again the next day without setting foot in a tire shop, plus I had all these extra wheels and tires to show for it! Only downside is that I had all these extra wheels and tires!

I was also able to pay it forward by giving the now-orphaned single tire to another local FR-S fellow who needed one tire, so now I've got one complete set of stockers and one complete set (minus two tires), plus the Regas... Wasn't so bad but two sets of wheels off the car is at least one too many when I'm not actually going to track days or drifting...

Working on it, currently dealing with a craigslist tire-kicker, literally. Offered me $200 and said he didn't want the tires. If it was somebody from the FB group, I would say "sure, just bring me back the tires when you've mounted other ones", but not with craigslist...

ok guys quick question, I checked wheel fitment directory there isnt anything in an 18x10 +35 and 18x9+30 staggered, obviously im gonna put the narrower ones in the front but heres my question, im not concerned about the back, i ran 18x9 (unknown offset but it was flush) with a 275 with no problems but my fronts rubbed with that setup last summer, i plan on running something around 255 wide up front, ive looked and from what I can see an 18x9 + 30 with 255 should be fine up front on coilovers but I am lowered on eibach sportline springs, can anybody help me out and tell me of im gonna run into issues, the offset is faily low which tells me my rim should clear but I just want some clarification before i drop 1k on wheels, Thanks

Dunno about tires but 18x9+30 should have about pretty damn flush. I have 18x8.75+36 +5mm spacer for a +31 effective offset. You should be about 1/8 inch past that. It'll be tight as fuck

I took my OE flywheel in to be resurfaced. As soon as it gets back from the machine shop the car goes in for my new South Bend stage 2 clutch. Adios ACT.

zeal86 · 03-13-2018, 04:38 PM

Put this together last night... Help me choose.. Which variation do y'all like?

I'm leaning towards the first pic. The molded white TRD fender garnish just looks different... most people will have black or carbon fiber garnishes.

Btw, what is the proper name for the aero I'll be fabricating? I'm asking about the aero parts originating at the fenders and rear bumper extensions? Thanks in advance.

I vote second or third. Think about also having mirrors in white and fender garnish in black. In body colour they tend to drown out. The contrasting black really balances it out
