I was gonna start a thread, but I can hopefully piggy back off this one, but just asking, 16's will fit nicely on the FR-S? I was thinking of selling my stock 17's for a set of 16x7 or 16x8's. If someone could let me know that they will fit. Thanks and I love the BRZ

With stock brakes, many 16" do, over PP brembos probably won't fit. And some even like looks change with smaller wheels. Obviously with lower diameter wheel but higher tire profile height ride will be more compliant/comfortable (and better wheels protection on bad roads & noticeably smaller tire cost), but steering sharpness will suffer, as more sidewall flex that will provide comfort will rob from handling.
Check initial posts of wheel directory to see many 16" wheels that fit. Choose one to your liking. I wouldn't sell stockers though. My preference is - 16" for winter & 17" for summer. |

^^^I agree only do 16s for winter or rally/off-road. No experience with 16s on a BRZ, but I can tell you upgrading to 17s on my 04 WRX was a great improvement, and it was not just the tire as both were all seasons.
