Last night, when I was talking to 86 ppl in China.. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I was talking to couple people over China last night, they told me FR-S (which they call 86) just release in China in last couple days...

When they show me picture of the car...I feel so awkward....

let's see.

Their wheel size is 16"....also when open up the trunk...you can see the spare tire.

I was smiling when I telling them my wheel is 17" and my spare tire is hidden under the trunk mat...

Same here. And the trunk setup too.

So a full size spare and lighter rims is a bad thing???

I've seen a FRS on 225/50 16 with rpf1 tearing up the track saving a lot of weight doing so

NickFRS · 03-15-2013, 04:29 AM

i'll take those in a 17!

What else is offered over there not in the base trim?

There's a thread on gt86. Com.au called

comparisons between gt gts subtle not so subtle differences

I had someone tell me (from far far away) a base model doesn't come with the digital speed display, only analog.

That is true.

Hmm.... I guess we're a little spoiled in the us.

Kensurs · 03-15-2013, 05:04 PM

Those wheels are probably great for the track.

Didn't the first few cars come with the trunk spare, then they removed it from the standard package list? I heard some early buyers talking about this.
