17" 18" or 19" wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just wanted to see what would be the prevailing size most people would like to see on their car.

ZetaVI · 01-28-2013, 12:30 PM

17's is a must for this car. Btw, I love DY-37C's.

Xdragonxb0i · 01-28-2013, 01:00 PM

We already have 17s stock. 18s. Are the perfect size. 19s are a tad bit to big looking.

The real question is how wide the rim should be

BRZPDX · 01-28-2013, 01:29 PM

I think 18's look and still feel great. It really accentuates your personal style:
17's - "I do auto cross, I don't care for stance and I am so serious about my cars handling performance"
18's - "Wanna look cool, but don't want to fuck it up too much."
19's - "Performance? I'm here to just pick up chicks"

17s would be more my flavor. I'm personally going with 16s though with the next set I buy for dd status. May pick up some 18s down the road for car shows though (I'm not usually the flashy kind)

If you bought the BRZ/FRS for performance, then it's 17s all the way...period.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you got the wrong tires...

Back on topic, 17s of course. Only reason for 18s is if you need to run and can fully utilize tires wider than 255.

dori. · 01-30-2013, 10:31 AM

I like 17s or 18s for this car.

I plan on getting both.

just find it funny how some act as if you can only have one set of rims on your car...

Walldodger · 01-30-2013, 11:01 PM

16, 17" tops. For anyone that wants actual performance and not "danger to the manifold" street creed. Best stay with the standard wheel diameter. Width on the other hand is where debate should be.
18 and 19"s look like the cars on stilts. Unless it has been lowered to the point of compromising the car.

fatoni · 01-30-2013, 11:06 PM

smallest rim you can get over your brakes. im amazed by how many people are touting this car as the second coming because of its light weight and cheap price tag and then running around looking at huge rims that cost too much

track_warrior · 01-31-2013, 03:22 AM

17's for track, 18's for street, 19's & 20's if your into donks!
