Will 18X9.5 with 45 offset fit on brz?

I'm deciding to get new wheels and am looking at the enkei tenjin 18X9.5 with the 45 offset. Anyone know if these will fit on all four corners of a brz?

There are literally hundreds of posts about this, and all of them say "it depends."

If you are on springs, you will def rub, even with camber. If you are on coilovers, you are getting awfully close to rubbing

Depends on camber
Tire size
Springs vs coils (coils are smaller in diameter)
And overall height.

90% of the time it'll rub.

I run 18x9.5 +40 and I have a good 5-10mm roughly of clearance between the wheel and spring.

This is OEM suspension, I have no rubbing whatsoever at full lock and have had these on for a good 1-2k miles.

as sdemo said about the many posts about the wheel fitment, now would be a terrific time to do your detective work and read those posts....just like i did when i bought my wheels! happy hunting!

not all the answers will come to you, sometimes you gotta go to the answer.

Yea I'm on ST coils so I should have more room vs the stock suspension. Are you running square set up on your wheels?

run it square, with coilovers. 255 is your max width tire due to fender liner rubbing. don't use camber bolts, instead adjust camber with top hats.

3mm spacer will fix rubbing issues and may allow you to run some extra camber with bolts.


if any of the above is confusing, SEARCH

Here's an article about mine by my wheel supplier with 18x9.5" +45
http://www.prosportauto.co.nz/blog/p...SA10R-Fitment/

With +45 offset you will need coilovers. I found no fender rub with 255/35 or 265/35 tires but chassis rail rub at full lock. I put steering stops in so full lock was a little less angle preventing the rub. I'm lowered about 20mm.
