Damn.. I was hoping to be able to run some 18x9.5 +38 with this new gen but guess not
Figure 255's won't fit with it so hoping i can fit a 245/35 then I don't mind rolling the fenders if it means i can squeeze 255 though, maybe i'll add a tiny bit of camber to make it fit |

I have a set of 17x9 ET42 that I plan on running on my incoming BRZ with 245/40/17. I’ll share more once I put them on.

Been following this topic with amusement; I've been OK with OEM sizes on cars for a while, (sticky + light) > fat for me. YMMV, of course.
You have not suffered until you've taken delivery of a new car fitted with 155/80-13 tires; yesterday, I replaced a tire on a hand truck almost that wide!

Thanks for sharing that. This suggests good opportunities, with the right wheels & tires, to reduce unstrung weight if running more modest -- perhaps even OEM -- wheel/tire sizes.

So, there's a little bump out in the fender liner just inside of the fender lip that is what the tire has been hitting. I'll try to take pics later today, but I think the "less rubbing" has been a self clearancing thing lol. +35's with 245's might actually work. I'm tempted to try it with another set of Enkeis and some 245/40/17 PS4S's for tooling around in the winter here and back up heavy rain autocross tires.

Have you looked at why that bump is there, what's underneath it? Is the bump you're talking about located around any of these things? Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CU40Tv4pdnK/ |

But as mentioned, when you buy high quality light wheels, you can wider, lighter, with wider sticky tires and STILL be lighter than the OEM setup. I'll likely end up TWS wheels. |

Thinking to put 57DR 17x9 +38 with 245/40/17 AD08R from my first gen to the second gen.
Ordered HKS Hypermax IV SP and will pair with RLCA. Car is arriving in Feb/March and will test it out once it's arrived. |
