Thanks for noticing my work... this is actually my first time doing any body work...I really enjoy it.

My front fitment was based off the fitment of the Aimgain SN type 2 demo 86...

My rear fitment was based off the following builds...
FR 18X12, 0 285/35 R 18X13, 0 335/30

FR 18X12.5, +5 295/30 R 18X13, -1 315/30

Congrats on your Toyo sponsorship. Any idea what model tire they're going to provide?

I went with 18X11, +2 Front and 18x13, -1 for my wheels. Because the highest disk (R) available for Work Wheels may not clear my front Runduce brakes according to Work... I may have to use a 3mm hubcentric spacers... which would bring my effective offset to -1 on the front.

Don't expect to add too much camber... just enough though. I want meat on my tires and I'm not about stance so that will determine how my fitment will look.

Indeed. Just trying to gauge what wheel sizes I'll need in 8 years when I can afford this project

By the way... Ordered my wheels through @Kami Speed.

I don't believe they sell many Work Wheels since they are not an authorized dealer but they definitely gave me as good a price on my wheels as I would have received from an authorized dealer... actually it was better. As always... Kamispeed is a pleasure to do business with! Please check them out next time you are mod hunting!

They are an authorized SSR dealer though... Keep that in mind when it comes to wheel buying time for y'all! SSRs were my second choice... can't go wrong with either brand!

Definitely not... one of the best online performance shops around... also a brick and mortar store. Authorized dealers don't always give the best prices... for example... Bulletproof Automotive falls under that category...

Yep, I was just messing around. I've not ever purchased anything from Kami Speed, but I've emailed/PMed with them before and they've been absolutely professional and helpful.

I randomly met another BRZ owner today and I told him to come on the forum and look up your zeal86 build thread. He's going widebody soon and looking for wheel fitment ideas, and I mentioned that you are in the process of going wide as well. Hope he sees this!
