Mach V BRZ on 18x8.5 Rota D - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Mach V Dan · 07-09-2012, 04:42 PM

Wheels are 18.8.5 +48 Rota D in Hyper Black, tires are 235/40R18. (That tire size is 3.2% larger diameter than stock, which is bigger than my rule of thumb of staying within 2% of stock diameter. A better match would be a 245/35R18, which is within 0.5% of the stock diameter. But the strut clearance is kind of tight, so with the 245 tire I might go with the 44mm offset version of this wheel.)

Looks like your tail pipe is gone Dan. Where'd it go?

Sorry, didn't weigh the combo before I gave it back to the WRX it lives on.

But the wheel alone is 22.6 pounds.

The whole rear section is gone, and in its place is a little race stubby tailpipe we made. More on that another time.
