concave wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

is it possible to get rims with such an offset where its a bit concave? I'm in love with that look! The wheels in looking at getting come in 18x7.5 +48 or 18x8.5 +44. Which wheel will give me that concave look if possible??

IIRC a few wheels like the WORK CR Kiwami has a "semi" concave face in 18x8.5, for most wheels to get concave face you need to step it up to 18x9 or 9.5

Gramlight 57Xtremes have a full concave at 18x9.5, but if that's too much for you for the front, they do have two versions of the wheel in 18x8.5, with Face 2 having a a concave look (they basically push out the spokes a bit to give it a pseudo-concave surface)

Not all wheels will become concave when you change the offset or width. It comes down to design and the manufacturer.

What wheels are you looking at? At 8.5" you are not likely to get too much concavity.

Probably the best guide I've ever seen on a forum here, so I'd use it for sure.

Please note though, 8.5" which you said you're looking for, on any wheel with a ET44 offset, will NOT be very concave at all. You don't really start seeing nicely concave wheels until you get up to 9.5" or 10" if you're going for a really concave look. Some 9"s might suffice, but still not uber concave unless you are running a really low offset (which we're not on these cars).
